Molecular formula for caffeine?
Q. I know that the molecular formula will turn out to be C8H10N4O2 because I've looked it up. But how would you determine the moelcular formula knowing the empirical fomula (C4H5N2O) and that the molar mass of caffeine is 195 g/mol?

A. Divide the molar mass of coffiene by the molar mass of the empirical formula and multiply the subscripts of the empirical formula by that numbber

A. It's actually caffeine sodium salicylate. It's the salt that forms when you combine caffeine with sodium salicylate. C8 H10 N4 O2 . C7 H6 O3 . Na (you can figure out the molecular weight from this). You can't post structures on here... Google the registry number (8002-85-5). You should get what you need then...

A. C4H5N2O = (4x12.0) + (5x1.0) + (2x14.0) + (2x16.0) = 113 C8H10N4O2 = (8x12.0) + (10x1.0) + (4x14.0) + (2x16.0) = 194 Second option is correct.

A. a) Assume that we have 100 g of caffeine. Based on the percentages given, we have 49.5 g C, 5.15 g H, 28.9 g N, and 16.5 g O. We need to calculate moles of each. C: 49.5 g / 12.0 g/mole = 4.13 moles C H: 5.15 g / 1.01 g/mole = 5.10 moles H N: 28.9 g / 14.0 g/mole = 2.06 moles N O: 16.5 g / 16.0 g/mole = 1.03 moles O Dividing by the smallest (1.03) we get C - 4 H - 5 N - 2 O - 1 The empirical formula is C4H5N2O. Its formula weight is (4 x 12) + (5 x 1) + (2 x 14) + (1 x 16) = 97. If the molar mass is 195, that's equal to 2 empirical formula units (2 x 97 = 194). So the molecular formula is 2 x C4H5N2O = C8H10N4O2. b) Work this exactly like the one above. You should get a molecular formula of C5H8O4NNa.

Asked by Rubieanne - Sun Apr 22 02:23:14 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Let Caffeine be CxHyOzNs where x,y,z and s have to be determined. Moles of Caffeine = 0.376/194 Moles of N2 = 0.11/28 Thus 0.376*s/(194*2) = 0.11/28 So, s = 4 Now, Moles of CO2 released = 0.376x/194 = 0.682/44 So, x = 8 Moles of H2O = 0.376*y/388 = 0.174/18 So, y = 10 Mass of O = 194-(4*14+8*12+10) = 32 g So, z = 2 Molecular formula is C8H10O2N4 and empirical formula is C4H5ON2

Asked by Scott - Tue Jul 7 13:56:16 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It is not quite clear what your question is. Here are some suggestions. Methane, CH4, is a compound that is common in natural gas. Methyl radical can refer to .CH3, a short-lived free radical that is thought to occur as an unstable intermediate structure in reaction mechanisms such as the free-radical chlorination of methane. Methyl radical is also used in an older nomenclature to describe a CH3 bonded as a branch to some chain or ring such as you mention. Nowadays, this is more commonly referred to as a methyl group to distinguish it from .CH3.

A. For question 2 it is just the least amount of C and H which can maintain the right stoichiometric equivalents for the molecule or CH2 For question 2 what you want to do first is find out how many moles of each element there are C= 5.657g /(1 mole C/12.0107g)= 0.471 moles C H= 0.3165g/(1 mole H/1.00794g)= 0.316 moles H Cl= 5.566g/(1 mole Cl/35.453g)= 0.157 moles Cl Now which one is limiting? Cl is, divide each one by # moles of Cl So C is 0.471 moles/0.157 =3 H is 0.316/0.157=2 Cl is 0.157/0.157=1 So your empirical formula is C3H2Cl Now for question 3 We know 2.000 grams is iron so 0.573 must be Oxygen.

A. First establish that your going to measure using 1 mole So now you have 194.19g caffeine Carbon is 49.48% of the mass so you have (49.48%)*(194.19)=96.0852 g carbon to see how many carbons you have you do (mass/Molar mass) (96.0852/12.0107) = 10 So you have 10 carbons Do it for each one: Hydrogen: (5.19%)*(194.19) = 10.0785 g (mass/molar mass) (10.0785/1.00794) = 10 Nitrogen: (28.85%)(194.19) = 56.0238 g (56.0238/14.00674) = 4 Oxygen: (16.48%)(194.19) = 32.0025g (32.0025/15.9994) = 2 Final formula: C8 H10 N4 O2
