Introduction to Organic Chemistry: Minimum Formula Problems

Hard

(Originais Teachy 2024) - Question Hard of Chemistry

Organic chemistry is an area of chemistry that studies compounds containing carbon, forming the basis of all living beings and a wide range of synthetic products we use in our daily lives. In the process of manufacturing medications, for example, it is essential to know the exact chemical composition of substances to ensure the effectiveness and safety of the product. A pharmaceutical laboratory prepared an organic compound and conducted an analysis of its percentage composition, determining that the compound contained 63.2% carbon (C), 5.30% hydrogen (H), and 31.5% oxygen (O), by mass. Based on this information, determine the molecular formula of the organic compound and identify the minimum number of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms that make up a molecule of this compound.
a.
The empirical formula of the organic compound is C4H4O15.
