\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{x}} \mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{y}}+\left(\mathrm{x}+\frac{\mathrm{y}}{4}\right) \mathrm{O}_2 \rightarrow \mathrm{xCO}_2+\frac{\mathrm{y}}{2} \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}

x+\frac{y}{4}=11 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \:\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \quad \frac{y}{2}=4

\mathrm{X=9}                                         \mathrm{X=8(C_{9}H_{8})}
