Question:

(A) When a 0.5120 g sample of a gaseous hydrocarbon was burned in excess oxygen, 1.687 g CO2 and 0.4605 g H2O were obtained. The density of the compound, in its vapor form, is 1.637 g/L at 25 °C and 101.3 kPa. Determine the molecular formula of the hydrocarbon, and draw a plausible structural formula for the molecule.

(B) An organic compound contains only C, H, N, and O. When the compound is burned in oxygen, with appropriate catalysts, nitrogen gas (N2), carbon dioxide (CO2), and water vapor (H2O) are produced. A 0.1023 g sample of the compound yielded 151.2 mg CO2, 69.62 mg H2O, and 9.62 mL of N2(g) at 0.00 °C and 1.00 atm. The density of the compound, in its vapor form, was found to be 3.57 g L-1 at 127 °C and 748 mmHg. What is the molecular formula of the compound?
