Glycine is an amino acid made up of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen atoms. Combustion of a 0.2036-g sample gives 132.9 mL of CO2 at 25°C and 1.00 atm and 0.122 g of water. What are the percentages of carbon and hydrogen in glycine? Another sample of glycine weighing 0.2500 g is treated in such a way that all the nitrogen atoms are converted to N2(g). This gas has a volume of 40.8 mL at 25°C and 1.00 atm. What is the percentage of nitrogen in glycine? What is the percentage of oxygen? What is the empirical formula of glycine?
