Answer:
The number of carbon atoms in the organic compound is 16.
Explanation:
The relative intensity of M + 1 peak (relative to M = 100) in organic compounds can be predicted by the following formula:
[M + 1] = (number of C x 1.07) ---------------------------------------------------- (1)
This formula can also be used to determine the number of carbon from the given intensity. But first, the intensity of [M + 1] relative to [M] = 100 needs to be determined, for which, consider the following calculations,
Using equation 1 we get,
or number of C = 16
The remaining value, 0.168, can be due to the isotopes of hydrogen and oxygen in the organic compound.
