A compound containing the elements C, H, N, & O is analyzed. When a 1.2359 g sample is burned in excess oxygen, 2.241 g of C
O2(g) is formed. The combustion Analysis also showed that the sample contained 0.0648 g of H. (i) Determine the mass, in grams, of C in the 1.2359 g sample
(ii) When the compound is analyzed for N content only, the mass percent of N is found to be 28.84%.
(iii) Determine the mass, in grams, of O in the original 1.2359 g sample of the compound.
(iv) Determine the empirical formula of the compound.
the gravitational force is proportional to the mass of both interacting objects, bigger objects will attract each other with a greater gravitational force. So the mass of either object increases, the force of gravitational attraction between them also increases.
