The following data were obtained from experiments to find the molecular formula of benzocaine, a local anaesthetic.
(i) 3.54 g of it gave 8.49 g of `CO_2` and 2.14 g of `H_2O` on complete combustion.
(ii) 2.35 g of it was found to contain 0.199 g of nitrogen.
(iii) The molecular mass of benzocaine was found to be 165 amu.
Find the molecular formula of benzocaine.
