Detailed Solution

Weight of an organic compound =0.45 g

Weight of  CO2=1.1g

Weight of H2O=0.3g

Besides corbon & Hydrogen, N2 is also present in the Compound.

The Empiral formula of the compound =?

Atomic weight of carbon MC=12g

Molecular weight of  CarbondioxideMCO2=44g

Molecular weight of Hydrogen MH2=2g

Molecular weight of Hydrogen MH2O=18g

\Percent of C=MCMCO2(mCO2)100m compound

=12441.11000.45

=66.67

\Percent of  H=2MHMHO2(mH2O)100m compound

=218(0.3)1000.45

=7.4

=5.56:7.4:1.85

=3:4:1

\Empirical formula=C3H4N
