Question

During combustion of a 9.984g sample of menthol, it is found that 28.160g of CO2 gas and 11.520g of H2Og is produced.
Q: Use relevant calculations to determine the empirical formula of menthol .

Answer 1

Answer:

Calculate the empirical formula of the compound from the grams of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Calculate the formula mass for the empirical formula and divide the given molecular mass by the empirical formula mass to get n. Multiply each of the subscripts in the empirical formula by n to get the molecular formula.
