- ercise 8.7 Penicillin, an important antibiotic (antibacterial agent), was discovered accidentally by the Scottish bacteriologist Alexander Fleming in 1928, although he was never able to isolate it as a pure compound. This and similar antibiotics have saved millions of lives that would otherwise have been lost to infections. Penicillin, like many of the molecules produced by living systems, is a large molecule containing many atoms. One type of penicillin, penicillin F, has the formula C14H20N2SO4 . Compute the mass percent of each element in this compound.arrow_forwardercise 9.5 In Example 9.6 we answered one of the questions we posed in the introduction to this chapter. Now let’s see if you can answer the other question posed there.
