Question
Number 10

Transcribed Image Text:10.Work out the empirical formula and then the molecular formula of a compound when
given mass/percentage composition data and molar mass.
Methyl butanoate smells like apples. Its percentage composition is 58.8% carbon, 9.8% hydrogen and
31.4% oxygen. Its molar mass is 102 g/mol. Work out its empirical and molecular formulae.
Did you get-it right? If so, proceed to the next objective. If not, get some heip (notes, book, peer, teacher, etc) and then try
the additional question below:
Nicotine is 74.1% carbon, 8.6% hydrogen, 17.3% nitrogen by mass. Its molar mass is 160 g/mol.
Work out its empirical and molecular formulae.
