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.

- 3'-Methylphthalanilic acid is used commercially as a “fruit set” to prevent premature drop of apples, pears, cherries, and peaches from the tree. It is 70.58% carbon, 5.13% hydrogen, 5.49% nitrogen, and 18.80% oxygen. If eaten, the fruit set reacts with water in the body to produce an innocuous product, which contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen only, and m-toluidine (NH2C6H4CH3), which causes anemia and kidney damage.
