Chrysanthenone is an unsaturated ketone. If Chrysanthenone has M+ = 150 and contains 2 double bond(s) and 2 ring(s); what is its molecular formula? Enter the formula in the form CH first, then all other atoms in alphabetical order; do not use subscripts. The formula is case-sensitive.

the Molecular formula will be; C10H14O

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Chrysanthenone is an unsaturated ketone,

it has M+ = 150 and contains 2 double bond(s) and 2 ring(s).

molecular formula = ?

we know that ketone contain 1 oxygen and mass of oxygen is 16

so mass of the C and H remaining will be;

⇒ 150 - 16 = 134

Now we determine the number of C atoms;

⇒ 134 / 13 = 10

hydrocarbon with 10 hydrogen atom have CnH2n+2 means

⇒ ( 10 × 2 ) +2 = 22 hydrogens

But then we have 3 unsaturation meaning 6 hydrogens less and also we have ring meaning 2 more hydrogens

⇒ 22 - 6 - 2 = 14

Hence the Molecular formula will be; C10H14O

b.

the accuracy of the data.

yes the answer is total mass in unchanged   : )
