The female silkworm moth forms a sex attractant called the bombycid, which is composed of 12.68% hydrogen, 80.61% carbon, and the 6.71% oxygen.
1. Determine the empirical formula of bombycid?
2. Determine the molecular formula if the molecular weight of bombycid is 238.4 amu.
3. Determine the numbers of grams of carbon were in the original sample if 5.698g of bombyukol is burned in the excess oxygen to produce the 6.452g H2O and 16.83gof CO2.
