Question

4g of an organic compound gave 2.34g of carbon 0.16g of hydrogen 0.46g of nitrogen 1.04g of oxygen.what is the empirical formula

Answer 1

2.34/12 = .195

.16/1 = .16 (I assume hydrogen atoms not molecules?)

.46/14 = .0329

1.04/16 = .065

for every nitrogen atom we have
.065/.0329 = 1.97 O
and
.195/.0329 = 5.9 C
and
.16/.0329 = 4.86 H

C6 H5 N O2
