Anything can be broken down, as long as it is not as small as an atom
Molar mass = 305.42 g/mol
C = ( 12 x 18 / 305.42 ) x 100 => 70.72 % of C
H = ( 1 x 27 / 305.42 ) x 100 => 8.84 % of H
N = ( 14 x 1 / 305.42 ) x 100 => 4.58 % of N
O = ( 16 x 3 / 305.42) x 100 => 15.71% of O
hope this helps!
To name this Alkyne, simply count from the direction that will give the lowest starting number to appear at the beginning of the carbon triple bond.
If you were to count from the top of the chain, the position of the carbon next to the triple bond would be 4. Yet if you count from the bottom chain going left to right and above the chain, the position of the carbon next to the triple bond would be 3.
Then identify the groups that are connected off the parent chain, here we have a methyl group on carbon 2.
Thus the name would be 2 - methyl - 3 - heptyne. I believe.
If he was 30.8% too low, it means that he was at 69.2% of the boiling point needed. So 50o C is 69.2% of total.
In order to know what 100% is, you can divide the number by it's percentage and then multiply it by a hundred.
So: 50/30.8=1.623
1.623*100=162.3
So the correct boiling point of the liquid he was working with in the lab is 162.3 oC
