Answer 2

Answer:

The relative number of carbon and nitrogen atoms in morphine is 17 and 1 respectively.

Given:

Morphine contain -

• 67.3% carbon
• 4.6% nitrogen

To Find :

the relative number of carbon and nitrogen atoms in morphine =?

Solution:

Morphine contains 67.3 % carbon

The Atomic Mass of carbon is 12.

$atomic \: weight \: ratio \: = \frac{67.3}{12}$

= 5.608

$simplest \: ratio \: = \frac{5.608}{0.328}$

= 17.08

The relative number of carbon is 17.

Morphine contains 4.6% Nitrogen

The atomic mass of nitrogen is 14.

$atomic \: weight \: ratio \: = \frac{4.6}{14}$

= 0.328

$simplest \: ratio \: = \frac{0.328}{0.328}$

= 1

the relative number of nitrogen in morphine is 1.

Hence, the relative number of carbon and nitrogen atoms in morphine is 17 and 1 respectively.
