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?

Respuesta :

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.
