A sample has a molar mass of 162g/mol. When a sample of mass 0.385g was burned , 1.072g of CO2 ,0.307g H2O and 0.068g of nitrogen were produced. What is empirial and molecular formular of a sample . Write equation for combustion

Answer 1

Could you please recheck your given CO2, H20 & N2 gram weights. From the values given, the sum of %C + %H + %N from original sample > 100%. Which means %Oxy is a negative number. Not workable for empirical formula analysis.
