Question
Chrysanthenone is an unsaturated ketone. If Chrysanthenone has M+ = 150 and contains 2 double bond(s) and 2 ring(s); what is its molecular formula? Enter the formula in the form CH first, then all other atoms in alphabetical order; do not use subscripts. The formula is case-sensitive.

Answer:
the Molecular formula will be; C10H14O
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
Chrysanthenone is an unsaturated ketone,
it has M+ = 150 and contains 2 double bond(s) and 2 ring(s).
molecular formula = ?
we know that ketone contain 1 oxygen and mass of oxygen is 16
so mass of the C and H remaining will be;
⇒ 150 – 16 = 134
Now we determine the number of C atoms;
⇒ 134 / 13 = 10
hydrocarbon with 10 hydrogen atom have CnH2n+2 means
⇒ ( 10 × 2 ) +2 = 22 hydrogens
But then we have 3 unsaturation meaning 6 hydrogens less and also we have ring meaning 2 more hydrogens
⇒ 22 – 6 – 2 = 14
Hence the Molecular formula will be; C10H14O
