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?

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.

A 31.3-g sample of ammonium carbonate contains ________ mol of ammonium ions.
Leona [35]
<span>We need to calculate the equivalent amount in units of moles of ammonium ions from the mass units. For this we need the molar mass of the substances involved. We calculate as follows: 

31.3 g </span>(NH4)2CO3 ( 1 mol (NH4)2CO3 / 96.09 g (NH4)2CO3) ( 2 mol NH4 / 1 mol (NH4)2CO3 ) = 0.65 mol <span>ammonium ions</span>

Calculate the number of sucrose molecules in a 75.0 gram sample.
zzz [600]

Answer:

1.32*10^23 molecules

Explanation:

sucrose formula: C12H22O11

molar mass: 12(12.01)+22(1.01)+11(16.00)=342.34g/mol

75.0 g C12H22O11 * (1 mol C12H22O11)/(342.34g C12H22O11)=0.219 mol C12H22O11

0.219 mol * (6.022*10^23)/mol = 1.32*10^23 molecules (three sig. figures)

Liquid does not act that a solid. how is it different from a solid and gas?
Wittaler [7]
Unlike solid matter, where particles are tightly packed and slightly vibrating, or gas, where particles go around everywhere and are extremely loose, a liquid has particles that are loosely packed but are still in slight contact with each other. Hope that's good enough
