Question

Determine the empirical formula of a compound that is composed of 63.56% carbon, 6.00% hydrogen, 9.27% nitrogen, and 21.17% oxygen. Empirical Formula: C8H9NO2 Assume a scientist now analyzed the sample with a mass spectrometer and determined that its molar mass is 302.32 g/mol. Determine its molecular formula. Molecular Formula: Note: There is no way to input subscripts for this problem. For example: enter C2O2 as C2O2.

Step 1

Assuming we have a 100 g sample, we have: - 63.56 g of Carbon (C) - 6.00 g of Hydrogen (H) - 9.27 g of Nitrogen (N) - 21.17 g of Oxygen (O) Show more…
