Question
Chapter F, Problem M.28E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Empirical formula and molecular formula of the compound has to be deduced.
Concept Introduction:
Combustion analysis is a technique that is used in order to determine the empirical formula of an organic compound. In this technique the sample is burned in oxygen resulting in formation of carbon dioxide and water. The relative amounts of water and carbon dioxide is calculated from which the empirical formula is deduced.

- You take 1.00 g of an aspirin tablet (a compound consisting solely of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen), burn it in air, and collect 2.20 g CO2 and 0.400 g H2O. You know that the molar mass of aspirin is between 170 and 190 g/mol. Reacting 1 mole of salicylic acid with I mole of acetic anhydride (C4H6O3) gives you 1 mole of aspirin and 1 mole of acetic acid (C2H4O2). Use this information to determine the molecular formula of salicylic acid.arrow_forward4.108 Elemental analysis is sometimes carried out by combustion of the sample.
