Question

A major textile dye manufacturer developed new yellow dye. The dye has a percent composition of 75.9 5% C, 17.72% N

Answer 1

Answer:

Such molecule must have molecular formula of C15N3H15

Explanation:

Mass of carbon in such molecule

$0.7595*240_{g/mol} =182.28_{g C/mol}$

The atomic mass of carbon is 12.01 g/mol, so in 182.28 g of carbon there is 15.18 mols of carbon.

Mass of Nitrogen in such molecule

$0.1772*240_{g/mol} =37.73_{g C/mol}$

The atomic mass of nitrogen is 14.01 g/mol, so in 42.53g of nitrogen there is 3.04 mols of nitrogen.

Mass of Hydrogen in such molecule

$0.0633*240_{g/mol} =15.19 {g C/mol}$

The atomic mass of Hydrogen is 1.00 g/mol, so in 15.19 g of Hydrogen there is 15.19 mols of Hydrogen.

Such molecule must have molecular formula of C15N3H15
