Answer:
Explanation:
Given that:-
Moles of K = 1.10 moles
Moles of Te = 0.55 moles
Moles of O = 1.65 moles
Taking the simplest ratio of the moles of the elements as:-
K : Te : O
1.10 : 0.55 : 1.65
2 : 1 : 3
Empirical formulas is the simplest or reduced ratio of the elements in the compound. So, the empirical formula is:-
2 C₁₇H₁₉NO₃ + H₂SO₄ → Product
Moles of H₂SO₄ = M x V(liters) = 0.0116 x 8.91/1000 = 1.033 x 10⁻⁴ mole
moles of morphine = 2 x moles of H₂SO₄ = 2.066 x 10⁻⁴
Mass of morphine = moles x molar mass of morphine = 2.066 x 10⁻⁴ x 285.34
= 0.059 g
percent morphine =
=
= 8.6 %
Moles of H₂SO₄ = M x V(liters) = 0.0116 x 8.91/1000 = 1.033 x 10⁻⁴ mole
moles of morphine = 2 x moles of H₂SO₄ = 2.066 x 10⁻⁴
Mass of morphine = moles x molar mass of morphine = 2.066 x 10⁻⁴ x 285.34
= 0.059 g
percent morphine =
=
