To determine the fraction of carbon in morphine, we need to know the chemical formula of morphine. From my readings, the chemical formula would be <span>C17H19NO<span>3. We assume we have 1 g of this substance. Using the molar mass, we can calculate for the moles of morphine. Then, from the formula we relate the amount of carbon in every mole of morphine. Lastly, we multiply the molar mass of carbon to obtain the mass of carbon. We calculate as follows:
1 g </span></span> <span>C17H19NO<span>3 ( 1 mol / 285.34 g ) ( 17 mol C / 1 mol </span></span> <span>C17H19NO3</span>) ( 12.01 g C / 1 mol C) = 0.7155 g C
Fraction of carbon = 0.7155 g C / 1 g <span>C17H19NO<span>3 = 0.7155</span></span>
Answer:
Option D, ketone
Explanation:
Since Jones reagent (CrO3/H2SO4) is a strong oxidizing agent and oxidize the secondary alcohol to ketone.
Example , isopropanol gets oxidized to propanone.
Primary Alcohol gets oxidized to Carboxylic acids.
Your answer would be 58.12g/mol ;)
