Let us assume that there is a 100g sample present. The respective mass of each element will then be:
C: 74 g
H: 7.4 g
N: 8.6 g
O: 10 g
Now, we divide each constituent's mass by its Mr to obtain the moles of each
C: (74 / 12) = 6.17
H: (7.4 / 1) = 7.4
N: (8.6 / 14) = 0.61
O: (10 / 16) = 0.625
Dividing by the smallest number:
C: 10
H: 12
N: 1
O: 1
Thus, the empirical formula is
C10H12NO
