The percent compositions of C, H, N, and O are as follows:
C = 70.79%
H = 8.91%
N = 4.59%
O =15.72%
Assume the percent compositions as masses in grams.
Thus, the masses of C, H, N, and O are 70.79 g, 8.91 g, 4.59 g, and 15.72 g respectively.
Determine the number of moles of each element from the given masses as follows:
For Carbon:
= 70.79 g C x ( 1 mol C /12.01 g C)
= 5.894 mol C
Similarly, for hydrogen:
= 8.91 g H x ( 1 mol H /1.008 g H)
= 8.84 mol H
Similarly, for nitrogen:
= 4.59 g N x ( 1 mol N /14.0067 g N)
= 0.3277 mol N
Similarly, for oxygen
= 15.72 g O x ( 1 mol O /15.9994 g O)
= 0.9825 mol O
Divide each mole by the least number of the mole as follows:
= 5.894 mol C / 0.3277 = 18 mol C
= 8.8392 mol H / 0.3277 = 27 mol H
= 0.3277 mol N / 0.3277 = 1 mol N
= 0.9825 mol O / 0.3277 = 3 mol O
Thus, the empirical formula for a compound is C18H27NO3
