Camphor, a saturated monoketone from the Asian camphor tree, is used among other things as a moth repellent and as a constituent

of embalming fluid. If camphor has by high-resolution mass spectrometry, what is its molecular formula?
Chemistry

7 0

Answer:

its molecular formula must be C10H16O with 2 rings.

Explanation:

the number of rings of the camphor has to be calculated, we have M + = 152.12 in the mass spectrum and it has three double bonds and one ring. The base beak has great abundance.

Since camphor is a single ketone, and M+/MC = 12 ~~ 8, its molecular formula must be C10H16O, accordingly, the number of rings = (10 * 2-16)/2 = 2.

What is the basic difference between series and parallel circuits?
strojnjashka [21]
In a series circuit, the current through each of the components is the same, and the voltage across the circuit is the sum of the voltages across each component. In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each of the components is the same, and the total current is the sum of the currents through each component.

Two reasons why scientists create models to study atoms
zaharov [31]
Models are used to study atoms because we can't exactly study an atom with the naked eye, Using an enlarged model of an atom easier to study because we can pin point the different characteristics of the atom.

Which of the following is NOT correct about elements?
Lynna [10]

Answer: B. Elements are represented by chemical formulas.

Elements are pure substances, which means that they cannot be broken down into simpler substances. The element is the most basic substance that exists, breaking it down further means breaking it down into protons, neutrons, and electrons, which is no longer a substance.

Elements have chemical properties that allow them to form different types of bonds with other elements.

However, elements *alone* are not represented by their chemical formulas. Only chemical bonds or ions are represented by a chemical formula.

Hy is it important that a chemical equation be balanced?
frosja888 [35]
A chemical equation should be balanced, so that when you make calculations based on the equation you must be able to relate the products to the reactants or vice versa. An example of using equations for calculations in chemistry is with the subject stoichiometry.

Gas is contained in a 9.00-L vessel at a temperature of 24.0°C and a pressure of 5.00 atm. (a) Determine the number of moles of
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

a. Moles in the vessel = 1.85 moles of the gas

b. 1.11x10²⁴ molecules are in the vessel

Explanation:

a.It is possible to determine moles of a gas using the general law of gases:

PV = nRT

<em>Where P is pressure: 5.00atm; V is volume = 9.00L; R is gas constant: 0.082atmL/molK; T is absolute temperature: 273.15K +24.0 = 297.15K</em>

<em />

Computing the values:

PV / RT = n

5.00atm* 9.00L / 0.082atmL/molK*297.15K = n

<h3>Moles in the vessel = 1.85 moles of the gas</h3><h3 />

b. With Avogadro's number we can convert moles of any compound to molecules thus:

Avogadro's number = 6.022x10²³ molecules / mole

1.85moles ₓ (6.022x10²³ molecules / mole) =

<h3>1.11x10²⁴ molecules are in the vessel</h3>
