Reference no: EM13281633

Vitamin C, Molar mass 176.12 g/mol, is a compound of C, H, and O, and found in many natural sources, especially citrus fruits. When 1.000 g sample of vitamin C is burned in a combustion apparatus, the following data are obtained:
Mass of CO2 absorber after combustion = 85.35 g
Mass of CO2 absorber before combustion = 83.85 g
Mass of H2O absorber after combustion = 37.96 g
Mass of H2O absorber before combustion = 37.55 g
What is the molecular formula for vitamin C? [C = 12.01, H = 1.01, O = 16.00]
