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
