The female silkworm moth produces a sex attractant called bombykol, which is composed of 80.61% carbon, 12.68% hydrogen, and 6.71% oxygen.
(a) What is the empirical formula of bombykol?
(b) If the molecular weight of bombykol is 238.4 amu, what is the molecular formula?
(c) If 5.698 g of bombykol is burned in excess oxygen to form 16.83 g of CO2 and 6.452 g of H2O, how many grams of carbon were present in the original sample?
