The alkaloid strychnine, a compound containing carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen was submitted for elemental analysis. Combustion of a 0.3432-g sample in oxygen gave 0.2032-g H2O and 0.9483-g CO2.
A 0.4932-g sample yielded 36.5 ml of nitrogen gas with a density of 1.13 g/L. The molecular weight of the compound was found to be 334.
Calculate (a) the percentage composition
(b) the empirical formula
(c) the molecular formula
Any chemistry help will be accepted. I am working on this question.
