Testosterone, the male sex hormone, contains only C, H, and O. It is 79.12% C and 9.79% H by mass. Each molecule contains two O atoms. What are (a) the molecular weight and (b) the molecular formula for testosterone?
Added by Kevin A.
Step 1
Given percentages: - Carbon (C): 79.12% - Hydrogen (H): 9.79% - Oxygen (O): 11.9% Calculate the moles of each element: - Carbon (C): 79.12 g / 12 g/mol = 6.593 mol - Hydrogen (H): 9.79 g / 1 g/mol = 9.79 mol - Oxygen (O): 11.9 g / 16 g/mol = 0.744 mol Show more…
