Chapter 5, Problem 130E
Researchers obtain the following data from experiments to find the molecular formula of benzocaine, a local anesthetic, which contains only carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen. Complete combustion of a 3.54-g sample of benzocaine with excess O2 forms 8.49 g of CO2 and 2.14 g H2O. Another sample of mass 2.35 g is found to contain 0.199 g of N. The molar mass of benzocaine is found to be 165 g/mol. Find the molecular formula of benzocaine.
