A 6.165 gram sample of an organic compound containing C, H and O is analyzed by combustion analysis and 10.27 grams of CO2 and 3

.363 grams of H2O are produced. In a separate experiment, the molecular weight is found to be 132.1 amu. Determine the empirical formula and the molecular formula of the organic compound.

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of carbon in 10.27 g of CO₂ = 12 x 10.27 / 44 = 2.80 g

mass of hydrogen ( H ) in 3.363 g of H₂O = 2  x 3.363 / 18

= .373 g

These masses would have come from the sample of 6.165 g .

Rest of 6.165 g of sample is oxygen .

So oxygen in the sample = 6.165 - ( 2.8 + .373 ) = 2.992 g

Ratio of C  , H , O in the sample

2.8 : .373 : 2.992

C: H : O : : 2.8 : .373 : 2.992

Ratio of moles

C: H : O : : 2.8/12 : .373/1 : 2.992 / 16

C: H : O : : .2333 : .373 : .187

C: H : O : : .2333/.187 : .373/.187 : .187/.187

C: H : O : : 1.247 : 1.99 : 1

C: H : O : : 5 : 8 : 4 ( after multiplying by 4 )

Hence empirical formula

C₅H₈O₄

Molecular formula ( C₅H₈O₄ )n

n ( 5 x 12 + 8 x 1 + 4 x 16 ) = 132

n x ( 60 + 8 + 64 ) = 132

n = 1

Molecular formula = C₅H₈O₄.
