<span>70.4 mg CO2 x 1.0 g /1000 mg x 1 mole CO2/ 44 gCO2 x 1 mole C/1 mole CO2 = 0.0016 moles C
14.4 mg H2O x 1.0 g/1000 mg x 1 mole H2O/18 g H2O x 2 moles H/ 1 mole H2O = 0.0016 moles O
molar mass of C=12 g/mole
molar mass of H=1 g/mole
0.0016 moles C x 12 g C/ 1 mole C = 0.0192 g C or 19.2 mg C
0.00156 moles H x 1 g H/1 mole H = 0.00156 g H or 1.56 mg H
mg O= 30.4 mg vanillin - 19.2 mg C – 1.56 mg H = 9.64 mg O
molar mass of O=16 g/mole
9.64 mg O x 1 g/1000 mg x 1 mole O/16.0 g = 0.000602
C.0016 H.0016 O.000602; divide all the moles by the smallest value of0.000602
C2.66H2.66O1 is the empirical formula;
to obtain whole numbers multiply by 3
3[C2.66H2.66O1] = C8H8O3
above formula weight: 8(C) + 8(H) + 3(O) = 8(12) + 8(1) + 3(16) = 152 amu
The empirical formula weight and the molecular formula weight are the same .
Molecular formula is C8H8O3.</span>
Answer: C excess reactant
Reason: It is not catalyst because catalyst are not consumed. It is not product because it was one of the reactants. It is not limiting because there was excess left over.
The atomic mass is determined by the number of protons and neutrons in a atoms for example oxygen has eight protons and neutrons which gives oxygen and atomic mass of 16
