To
determine the empirical formula of the compound given, we need to determine the ratio of each element in the compound. To do that we assume to have 100 grams sample
of the compound with the given composition. Then, we calculate for the number
of moles of each element. We do as follows:<span>
mass moles
C 56.79 4.73
H 6.56 6.50
O 28.37 1.77
N 8.28 0.59
Dividing the number of moles of each element with
the smallest value, we will have the empirical formula:
</span> moles ratio
C 4.73 / 0.59 8
H 6.50 / 0.59 11
O 1.77 / 0.59 3
N 0.59 / 0.59 1<span>
</span><span>
The empirical formula would be C8H11O3N.</span>

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:
What volume (mL) of the partially neutralized stomach acid having concentration 2 M was neutralized by 0.1 M NaOH during the titration? (portion of 25.00 mL NaOH sample was used; this was the HCl remaining after the antacid tablet did it's job)
<u>Answer:</u> The volume of HCl neutralized is 1.25 mL
<u>Explanation:</u>
To calculate the volume of acid, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:
where,
are the n-factor, molarity and volume of stomach acid which is HCl
are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is NaOH.
We are given:
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the volume of HCl neutralized is 1.25 mL
