Answer:

In order  to determine unequivocally which of the peaks represent Aldrin, I would run the pure sample through the chromatography equipment.

Explanation:

Gas chromatography is a technique that separates molecules based on their volatility and interaction with both the stationary phase.

The peaks on the chromatogram show how long a substance took to leave the column. Since each different substance substance will leave the column at a different time, each peak can be attributed to a substance.

Therefore, to know which of the 6 peaks represent Aldrin, it is necessary to run the pure Aldrin in the chromatography equipment and see the time of the peak. Then you just need to compare both chromatograms and indentify Aldrin.

aivan3 [116]
To find out how many molecules you have, you need to multiply the number of moles with Avogadros constant: 2.50 * 6.022 * 10²³ = 1.5055 * 10^24.

If a non-cyclic alkane shows a molecular ion peak at m/z 3.80 × 102, what is the chemical formula?
soldier1979 [14.2K]
The General Equation of Alkane is as follow,

                                              CnH₂n₊₂          ------- (1)
As m/z = 380
So,
                                              CnH₂n₊₂  =  380
Or,
                                              12n+ 1₂n₊₂  =  380

                                              12n+ ₂n ₊ ₂  =  380

                                              14n ₊ ₂  =  380

                                                   14n  =  380 - 2

                                                   14n  =  378

                                                       n  =  378 / 14

                                                       n  =  27
Now, putting value of n in eq. 1

                                              C₂₇H₍₂₇ₓ₂₎₊₂

                                                  C₂₇H₅₆
Result:
           n  =  C  =  27

           y  =  H  =  56
