Question

In 1989 a controversy arose concerning the chemical daminozide, or Alar, which was sprayed on apple trees to yield redder, firmer, and more shapely apples, Concerns about Alar’s safety stemmed from the suspicion that one of its breakdown products, unsymmetrical dimethylhylhydrazine (UDMH), was carcinogenic. Alar is no longer sold for food uses. UDMH has the empirical formula of CNH4 and has a molecular mass of 60.099. What is the molecular formula for UDMH?

Answer 1

1. The empirical formula of a compound gives the ratio of aroms present in a molecule. It can be related to moleulo as -- 2 (Empirical formula) n = Molecular formula Where Hol n. Molecular formula mass in is taken as the 1. Empirical formula mars I nearest whole number] Here Molecular mass = 600099 Empirical formula I (NH4 . Empirical formula mass = 12 + 14+.4x1 = 30 u. .no 60.099 32 ". Molecular formula is ((NH4) = C₂ N₂ Hg
