QUESTION:

A certain anesthetic contains 64.9 percent C, 13.5 percent H, and 21.6 percent O by mass. At 120C and 750 mmHg, 1.00 L of the gaseous compound weighs 2.30 g. What is the molecular formula of the compound?

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 4

According to ideal gas law, the number of moles can be calculated by the following formula.

                                                  ........................(1)

Rearrange the formula(1)

                                                     .......................(2)

                                                                                                         

Here,

P = pressure

V = Volume

n = Number of moles

R = Gas constant

T = Temperature.
