Empirical Formula = C₅H₇N₁

Solution:

Data Given:

Mass of Nicotine = 4.20 mg = 0.0042 g

Mass of CO₂ = 11.394 mg = 0.011394 g

Mass of H₂O = 3.266 mg = 0.003266 g

Step 1: Calculate %age of Elements as;

%C = (mass of CO₂ ÷ Mass of sample) × (12 ÷ 44) × 100

%C = (0.011394 ÷ 0.0042) × (12 ÷ 44) × 100

%C = (2.7128) × (12 ÷ 44) × 100

%C = 2.7128 × 0.2727 × 100

%C = 73.979 %

%H = (mass of H₂O ÷ Mass of sample) × (2.02 ÷ 18.02) × 100

%H = (0.003266 ÷ 0.0042) × (2.02 ÷ 18.02) × 100

%H = (0.7776) × (2.02 ÷ 18.02) × 100

%H = 0.7776 × 0.1120 × 100

%H = 8.709 %

%N = 100% - (%C + %H)

%N = 100% - (73.979 % + 8.709%)

%N = 100% - 82.688%

%N = 17.312 %

Step 2: Calculate Moles of each Element;

Moles of C = %C ÷ At.Mass of C

Moles of C = 73.979 ÷ 12.01

Moles of C = 6.1597 mol

Moles of H = %H ÷ At.Mass of H

Moles of H = 8.709 ÷ 1.01

Moles of H = 8.6227 mol

Moles of N = %N ÷ At.Mass of O

Moles of N = 17.312 ÷ 14.01

Moles of N = 1.2356 mol

Step 3: Find out mole ratio and simplify it;

C H N

6.1597 8.6227 1.2356

6.1597/1.2356 8.6227/1.2356 1.2356/1.2356

4.985 6.978 1

≈ 5 ≈ 7 1

Result:

Empirical Formula = C₅H₇N₁

Will give ! what are the advantages and disadvantages of nuclear power? check all that apply. one advantage of nuclear energy is that it does not produce carbon dioxide emissions. storage of nuclear waste is a short-term problem associated with nuclear energy. the problem with uranium mining is that a large quantity of uranium must be extracted to meet energy needs because the energy release from uranium fission is so low. safe operation of a nuclear power plant can be jeopardized by a human mistake.
