Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 1.48SP
In 1934, Edward A. Doisy of Washington University extracted 3000 lb of hog ovaries to isolate a few milligrams of pure estradiol, a potent female hormone. Doisy burned 5.00 mg of this precious sample in oxygen and found that 14 54 mg of CO2 and 3 97 mg of H2O were generated
- a. Determine the empirical formula of estradiol.
- b. The molecular weight of estradiol was later determined to be 272. Determine the molecular formula of estradiol.
