Lysine is an amino acid which has the following elemental composition: C, H, O, N. In one experiment, 2.175g of lysine was combusted to produce 3.94g CO2 and 1.89 H2O . In a seperate experiment, 1.873g of lysine was burned to produce 0.463g NH3. The molar mass of lysine is approximately 150g/mol. Determine the empirical and molecular formula of lysine.

An organic compound found in many kinds of fruit (apples, bananas, melons, cherries, and strawberries). It is added as an artificial flavoring to some foods and drinks to create sweet, fruity flavors. When combustion analysis was carried out on a 2.50g sample of this ester produces 6.10g of CO2 and 2.50g of H2O. If the molar mass of this compound is 144.21g, what is the molecular formula of this compound?
