Answer:

C9H13O3N

Explanation:

Take the atomic mass of C=12.0, H=1.0, O=16.0 and N=14.0.

We can draw a chart (please view this on desktop so to avoid spacing errors):

Let the mass of Epinephrine be 100g.

                             C                       H                          O                              N

mass(g) :              59                      7.15                    26.2                         7.65

no. of moles : 59/12 =4.9167     7.15/1 = 7.15     26.2/16=1.6375 7.65/14=0.5464

(n.o.m. = mass/molar mass)

Ratio:   4.9167/0.5464 =9    7.15/0.5464=13      1.6375= 3      0.5464/0.5464 =1

(divide the n.o.m. by the smallest n.o.m., which is 0.5464 in this case, take the whole numbers)

So, the empirical formula will be: C9H13O3N

But this is still not yet the molecular formula. We have to ensure the molar mass is 183g/mol. Multiply the empirical formula by n.

So, let the molecular formula of Epinephrine be (C9H13O3N)n.

12x9n + 1x13n + 16x3n + 14n = 183

108n + 13n + 48n + 14n = 183

183 n = 183.

n = 1

Hence, the molecular formula is C9H13O3N.

The atomic mass of chlorine is listed as 35.454 amu on the periodic table. It has two naturally occurring isotopes, Cl-35 and Cl
Fynjy0 [20]
X=percentage of Cl-35
(1-x)=percentage of Cl-35

35(x)+37(1-x)=35.454
35x+37-37x=35.454
-2x=35.454-37
-2x=-1.546
x=-1.546/(-2)
x=0.773

0.773=77.3/100=77.3%

(1-x)=1-0.773=0.227

0.227=22.7/100=22.7%

answer: the percentages are: 77.3% of Cl-35 and 22.7% of Cl-37.

What is the iupac name of this structure?
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

3–ethyl–4–methylhexane.

Explanation:

To name the above compound, do the following:

1. Determine the functional group of the compound.

2. Locate the longest continuous carbon chain. This gives the parent name of the compound.

3. Identify the substituent group attached to the compound.

4. Give the substituent the lowest possible count.

5. Combine the above to name the compound.

Now, we shall name the compound given in the question above as follow:

1. The compound contains only single bond. Therefore, the compound belong to the alkane family.

2. The longest continuous carbon chain is 6 i.e hexane.

3. The substituent group attached are:

i. Methyl, CH3.

ii. Ethyl, CH2CH3.

4. we shall name the substituents alphabetically i.e ethly will come before methyl. Therefore,

Ethyl is located at carbon 3.

Methy is located at carbon 4.

5. Therefore, the name of the compound is:

3–ethyl–4–methylhexane.
