Solved: Compound A is branched and optically active and contains C, H, and O. (a) A

Chapter 15, Problem 15.112

(choose chapter or problem)

Compound A is branched and optically active and contains C, H, and O. (a) A 0.500-g sample burns in excess O2 to yield 1.25 g of CO2 and 0.613 g of H2O. Determine the empirical formula. (b) When 0.225 g of compound A vaporizes at 755 torr and 97_C, the vapor occupies 78.0 mL. Determine the molecular formula. (c) Careful oxidation of the compound yields a ketone. Name and draw compound A, and circle the chiral center.
