i) . Which of the following is the correct formula of C6H4O (NO2)3?

a. C6H4O7N3 b. C3H2O7N3 c. C3H4O3N d. C3H2O3N2

SECTION B
NOTE: Your answer should not exceed three to four lines.

1- Indigo (C16H10N2O2), the dye used to colour blue jeans is derived from a compound known as

indoxyl (C8H7ON). Write their empirical formulas?

Ans: Molar mass of (C16H10N2O2)= 16(12)+10+2(14)+2(16)

= 262g

Empirical formula of indigo= C8H5NO

Molar mass of indoxyl, C8H5NO= 8(12)+7+16+14

= 133g

Empirical formula of indoxyl= C8H7ON

2- Aspirin is used as a mild pain killer. There are nine carbon atoms, eight hydrogen atoms and four

Oxygen atoms in this compound. Write its empirical and molecular formulas?

Ans: The empirical and molecular formula i.e. C9 H8 O4.

3- Vinegar is 5% acetic acid. It contains 2 carbon atoms,4 hydrogen atoms and 2 oxygen atoms.

Write its empirical and molecular formulas?

Ans: Molecular formula= C2 H4 O2

Empirical formula= CH2O

4- Caffeine (C8H10N4O2) is found in tea and coffee. Write the empirical formula of caffeine?

Ans: Empirical formula= C4 H5N2O
