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.

Describe the relationship between an enzyme, substrate, and active site.
alexdok [17]
So what I know is that enzyme and substrate are like lock and key meaning that when the active site of the enzyme changes, the enzyme will not fit to the substrate which will lead the enzyme to denature. Hope this helps.

How many atoms of hydrogen are there in 3.0kg of ethane
kvasek [131]
Ethane has the formula C2H6.
From the periodic table:
molecular mass of carbon = 12 grams
molecular mass of hydrogen = 1 gram
Therefore:
molar mass of ethane = 2(12) + 6(1) = 30 grams

This means that each 30 grams of ethane contains 6 grams of hydrogen. To know how many grams of hydrogen are in 3000 grams of ethane (3 kg), we will simply use cross multiplication as follows:
mass of hydrogen = (3000 x 6) / 30 = 600 grams

What inspired Mendeleev to create his organization for the elements
const2013 [10]

Dimitri Mendeleev was inspired primarily by the work of Antoine Lavoisier and his work on writing the first extensive list of known elements. Lavoisier also collaborated in the construction of the metric system and worked to develop a better nomenclature for chemical compounds which parts are still used today.
