Equilin is an estrogen from horses with the chemical name 3-hydroxyestra- 1,3,5,7-tetraen-17-one. Equilin is one of the estrogens present in the mixture of estrogens isolated from horse urine and marketed as Premarin. Premarin became the most commonly used form of estrogen for hormone replacement therapy in the United States of America. Equilin contains three elements: C, H, and O. When 13.42 grams of this substance are completely combusted, 39.61 grams of CO2 and 9.01 grams of H20 are produced. What is the empirical formula of equilin? If the molecular weight is 268.34 g/mol, what is its molecular formula?

3-78 Nitrous oxide, N20, laughing gas, is a colorless, nontoxic, tasteless, and odorless gas. It is used as an inhalation anesthetic in dental and other surgeries. Because nitrous oxide is soluble in vegetable oils (fats), it is used commercially as a propellant in whipped toppings Nitrous oxide dissolves in fats. The gas is added under pressure to cans of whipped topping. When the valve is opened, the gas expands, thus expanding (whipping) the topping and forcing it out of the can.
