Write the molecular formula for the compound that exhibits a molecular ion at M+ = 112.0499. Assume that C, H, N, and O might be present, and use the exact masses below: Exact mass of carbon = 12.000 Exact mass of hydrogen = 1.0078 Exact mass of nitrogen = 14.003 Exact mass of oxygen = 15.995 (The order of atoms should be carbon, then hydrogen, then the others in alphabetical order. If there is more than one answer, just give one. ) Molecular formula:

Answer:

C₅H₈N₂O

Explanation:

The molecular formula denotes the various forms of atoms contained in a molecule at a particular fixed proportion.

The molecular ion M⁺ = 112.0499

and the exact mass values are given as follows:

C = 12.000

H = 1.0078

N = 14.003

O = 15.995

By assumption:

C = 12.000 × 5 = 60.0000

H = 1.0078 × 8 =    1.0078

N = 14.003 × 2 =  28.0060

O = 15.995 × 1 =   15.9950    

                        = 112.0634    

This is approximtely equal to 112.0499.

As such the Molecular formula for the compound = C₅H₈N₂O
