Vanillin, the chemical that gives vanilla beans their distinct flavor is an organic compound containing
C,H
, and O . The formula for vanillin is
C_(8)H_(8)O_(3)
. To prove that, combustion analysis was performed. 30.4 mg vanillin was combusted to produce
70.4mgCO_(2)
and
14.4mgH_(2)O
. Show me how the formula was confirmed.
C_(x)H_(y)+excessO_(2)->CO_(2)+H_(2)O
Write and include every single step. even if its a small one. each step counts so i need all
