The compound tyrosine contains 59.66% c, 6.12% h, 7.73% n, and 26.49% o by mass. what is the empirical formula of tyrosine?

C9H11O3N

Explanation:

The percentage by mass of each element is divided by its relative atomic mass. The lowest ratio is now observed. Each ratio is now divided by this lowest ratio and approximated to whole numbers. All these are shown in detail in the image attached.

For cyclohexane compounds drawn in a chair conformation:   -axial bonds are vertical  -equatorial bonds are parallel to two bonds within the ring.  thus, as i assume the chair conformation is drawn:   -the x group is in an axial position, as are the five other vertical bonds.  -three axial bonds are on the top face of the ring  -the other three axial bonds are on the bottom face  the position of the second substituent on each ring carbon is equatorial.  gauche groups must be on an adjacent carbon such as carbon 6 and carbon 2, and also gauche groups are rotated by 60 degrees relative to each other.  drawing the newman projections for c1–c2 and c1–c6 aids in visualizing the groups that are gauche to the y group on c1.  click this link and watch some academic videos that may you more understand the topic 

The mass has escaped into a gas which you can not see so the law stays true.
