What is the empirical and molecular formula for nicotine?
February 20th, 2023
The molecular formula for nicotine is ##C_10H_14N_2##, meaning that a single molecule has 10 carbon atoms, 14 hydrogen atoms, and two nitrogen atoms.
The empirical formula is a reduced version of this that shows only the ratios of the : ##C_5H_7N##.
OK.
