WHILE ARRANGING THE ELEMENTS, NEWLAND OBSERVED THAT ORDER HE SET WERE LIKE NOTES REPRESENTED AS THE SIGNS,THAT IS, EVERY FIRST NOTE IS EQUAL TO THE EIGHT ELEMENT, BUT HE COULD FIND ONLY 58 ELEMENTS THAT WERE CORRECTLY ORDERED IN HIS TABLE
Step 1:
Divide mass of each element with its M.mass in order to find out moles.
C = 63.2 g / 12 g/mol = Moles = 5.26 moles
H = 5.26 g / 1.008 g/mol = Moles = 5.21 moles
C = 41.6 g / 16 g/mol = Moles = 2.6 moles
Step 2:
Select moles of the element with least value and divide all moles of element by it,
C H O
5.26/2.6 : 5.21/2.6 : 2.6/2.6
2.02 : 2.00 : 1
Result:
Empirical Formula = C₂H₂O
Given the parent compound, draw the mass spectrum fragment that is observed at m/z 77. Include any hydrogen atoms and the charge. Its 6 carbon ring with 3 double bonds and a Cl coming off the of it.
