Synthesis and structure determination of amines
Exercise 1
$27.0\;g$ of a saturated monocyclic monoamine contains $5.18\;g\;N$.
Find its molecular formula!
$\%_N$ $=$ $\frac{5.18\cdot 100}{27.0}$ $=$ $19.18$
General formula:
$C_nH_{2n+3}N$
$\%_N$ $=$ $\frac{14\cdot 100}{12n+2n+3+14}$
$\frac{1400}{14n+17}$ $=$ $19.18$
$n$ $=$ $4 $
Molecular formula:
$C_4H_{11}N$
