Question

Coniine (molar mass 127.23 g/mol), a substance isolated from poison hemlock, contains only carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen. Part 1. Combustion of 5.024 mg of coniine yields 13.90 mg CO2 and 6.048 mg of H2O. What is the empirical formula for coniine, listing the elements in the order C, H, N?

Step 1

From the combustion reaction, we know that each molecule of CO2 contains one atom of carbon and each molecule of H2O contains two atoms of hydrogen. The molar mass of CO2 is 44.01 g/mol and the molar mass of H2O is 18.02 g/mol. So, the moles of carbon in Show more…
