The mass of one of the isotopes is 106.905 amu and its natural abundance is 51.60%.
The mass of the second isotope is 108.883 amu.
Calculate the average atomic mass
Write the chemical symbols of the isotopes
(c) An organic compound consists of carbon, hydrogen and sulfur only.
The percentage of carbon by mass in this compound wąs found to be 30.27%.
The complete combustion of 1.367 g this compound produces 1.765 g of sulfur dioxide
(SO2)
(i) Determine the empirical formula for this compound.
(ii) If a sample of this compound having the mass 3.781 x 103 mg contains 9.528 x 10-3 moles
of the compound, determine the molecular formula.
Give the names of appropriate element for (a)~(d) in the passages below.
(1) (a) and (b) are elements that belong to period 5 and 6 in the periodic table,
respectively. Both simple substances are solid under room temperature. To an aqueous
solution containing cations of (a) and (b), dilute hydrochloric acid was dropped to
produce white precipitate. Upon rinsing with boiling water, the precipitate was partially
dissolved.
(2) Both (c) and (d) are elements that produce stable trivalent cations in an
aqueous solution. To an aqueous solution containing (c) and (d) as trivalent cations,
aqueous ammonia was dropped to produce a gel-like precipitate. Upon the addition of
concentrated aqueous sodium hydroxide, the precipitate was partially dissolved and the
majority of (c ) was transferred to the supernatant.

The bottle was labelled information was given, but inside the bottle were some white crystals. The student took the bottle to a chemistry laboratory, where she analyzed the crystals with the help of the laboratory staff. C₁2H₁6O reacted with Br₂ in CCl4 adding one mole of Br, and forming C₁₂H₁OB2₂. When a sample of C₁₂H₂O was reacted with O3 followed by Zn/H₂O, two different samples, J and K, were obtained. Compound J had a molecular formula of C.HgO₂, and its NMR is shown below. Compound K had a molecular formula of C₂H₂O, and it could be oxidized to compound L, with a molecular formula of C₂H₂O₂. The IR spectrum of L showed a very wide, strong band centred around 3000 cm*¹. The NMR spectrum of L showed only two different absorptions: a doublet (6H) at 0.9 ppm and a septet (1H) at 3.6 ppm.
