Chapter 3, Problem 3.22A
APPLY 3.22
(a) Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were compounds used as coolants in transformers and capacitors, but their production was banned by the U.S. Congress in 1979 because they are highly toxic and persist in the environment. When 1.0 g of a PCB containing carbon, hydrogen, and chlorine was subjected to combustion analysis, 1.617 g of CO2 and 0.138 g of H2O were produced. What is the empirical formula?
(b) If the molecular weight is 326.26, what is the molecular formula?
(c) Can combustion analysis be used to determine the empirical formula of a compound containing carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and chlorine?
