1.1 Moles and Molar Mass
AdvancedMCQMathematical15.8k
A \(0.890\text{ g}\) sample of a pure solid organic compound containing only \(\text{C}\), \(\text{H}\), \(\text{N}\), and \(\text{O}\) is completely combusted in an excess of pure \(\text{O}_2\text{(g)}\). The combustion products are directed through a series of selective traps, producing the data in the table below.

Product TrapMass of Product Collected (\(\text{g}\))
\(\text{CO}_2\text{(g)}\) absorber\(1.320\)
\(\text{H}_2\text{O(g)}\) absorber\(0.630\)
\(\text{N}_2\text{(g)}\) collection tube\(0.140\)

Based on these data, what is the empirical formula of the compound?
