Chemical Analysis and Stoichiometry Problem Set

1. The routine quality control analysis for an amino acid feedstock in a large chemical production plant returns the following combustion analysis. For each of these samples determine if the amino acid is tyrosine (C₉H₁₁NO₃), alanine (C₃H₇NO₂) or Valine (C₅H₁₁NO₂) by calculating the emperical formula using the data provided.
