analysis shows that the compound is 47.52% carbon, 4.986% hydrogen and 47.49% oxygen.
Determine the simplest formula.
11. Dibutyl succinate is an insect repellent used against household ants and roaches. Its
composition is 62.58% C, 9.63% H, and 27.79% O. Its experimentally determined molar mass
was found to be 230 g/mol. What are the empirical and molecular formulas of dibutyl
succinate?
12. Vitamin C is essential for prevention of scurvy (and large doses may be effective in preventing
colds). Combustion of a 0.2000-g sample of this carbon-hydrogen-oxygen compound yields
0.2998 g CO2 and 0.0819 g H2O. What is the empirical formula of vitamin C?
