The molecular formula : C₁₈H₁₈N₈
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
62.41% C, 5.24% H, and 32.36% N
Required
The molecular formula
Solution
mol ratio
C : 62.41/12.0096 = 5.1967
H : 5.24/1.00784 = 5.1992
N : 32.36/14.0067 = 2.310
Divide by 2.310(smallest)
C : 5.1967/2.31=2.25
H : 5.1992/2.31 = 2.25
N : 2.31/2.31 = 1
Multiplied by 4
C : H : N = 9 : 9 : 4
The empirical formula : C₉H₉N₄
(C₉H₉N₄)n=346.40 g/mol
(12.0096 x 9 + 1.00784 x 9 + 14.0067 x 4)n=346.4
(108.0864+9.07056+56.0268)n=346.4
(173.184)n=346.4
