91: The rotten smell of a decaying animal carcass is partially due to a nitrogen-containing
compound called putrescine. Elemental analysis of putrescine indicates that it consists of
54.50% C, 13.73% H, and 31.77% N. Calculate the empirical formula of putrescine. (Hint:
Begin by assuming a 100-g sample and determining the mass of each element in that 100-g
sample.)
95: A 1.45-g sample of phosphorous burns in air and forms 2.57 g of a phosphorous oxide.
Calculate the empirical formula of the oxide. (Hint: Determine the mass of oxygen in the
2.57 g of phosphorous oxide by determining the difference in mass before and after the
phosphorous burns in air.)
93: These compounds are found in many natural flavors and scents. Calculate the empirical
formula for each compound
Ethyl butyrate (pineapple oil): C 62.04%, H 10.41%, O 27.55%
Methyl butyrate (apple flavor): C 58.80%, H 9.87%, O 31.33%
Benzyl acetate (oil of jasmine): C 71.98%, H 6.71%, O 21.31%
101: The molar masses and empirical formulas of several compounds containing carbon and
chlorine are listed here. Find the molecular formula of each compound
284.77 g/mol CCI, 131.39 g/mol C2HCI3, 181.44 g/mol C2HCI
103: A pure copper cube has an edge length of 1.42 cm. How many copper atoms does it
contain? (volume of a cube = {edge length}3; density of copper = 8.96 g/cm3) Hint: Start by
calculating the colume of the copper cube
105: A drop of water has a volume of approximately 0.05 mL. How many water molecules
does it contain? (density of water = 1.0 g/cm³)
119: Butanedione, a compound in butter and body odor, has a cheesy smell. Elemental
analysis of butanedione gave the mass percent composition: C 55.80%, H 7.03%, O 37.17%.
The molar mass of butanedione is 86.09 g/mol. Determine the molecular formula of
butanedione
121: Nicotine, a stimulant found in tobacco, has the mass percent composition: C 74.03%, H
8.70%, N 17.27%. The molar mass of nicotine is 162.26 g/mol. Find the molecular formula of
nicotine,
127: An iron ore contains 38% Fe203 by mass. What is the maximum mass of iron that can
be recovered from 10.0 kg of this one?
