The number of carbon atoms present in any compound is equal to seven.
<h3>How do we calculate the number of carbon atoms?</h3>
Number of carbon atoms present in any compound will be calculated by using the following equation:
No. of Carbon atoms = Relative intensity of M+1 peak / Natural abundance of C13
Intensity of molecular peak = 34.76%
Intensity of M+1 peak = 2.632%
Relative intensity of M+1 peak = (100/34.76)×2.632 = 7.57%
Given that natural abundance of M+1 = 1.07%
On putting values on above equation, we get
No. of C atoms = 7.57 / 1.07 = 7.07 = 7 (approx)
Hence number of carbon atoms is 7.
