Write the molecular formula for the compound that exhibits a molecular ion at M+ = 112.0499. Assume that C, H, N, and O might be present, and use the exact masses below: Exact mass of carbon = 12.000 Exact mass of hydrogen = 1.0078 Exact mass of nitrogen = 14.003 Exact mass of oxygen = 15.995 (The order of atoms should be carbon, then hydrogen, then the others in alphabetical order. If there is more than one answer, just give one. ) Molecular formula:

C₅H₈N₂O

Explanation:

The molecular formula denotes the various forms of atoms contained in a molecule at a particular fixed proportion.

The molecular ion M⁺ = 112.0499

and the exact mass values are given as follows:

C = 12.000

H = 1.0078

N = 14.003

O = 15.995

By assumption:

C = 12.000 × 5 = 60.0000

H = 1.0078 × 8 =    1.0078

N = 14.003 × 2 =  28.0060

O = 15.995 × 1 =   15.9950    

                        = 112.0634    

This is approximtely equal to 112.0499.

As such the Molecular formula for the compound = C₅H₈N₂O

according to the u.s. department of agriculture, the label of "certified organic" comes with a set of highly regulated standards for environmental stewardship and resource conservation. some of these include maintenance and improvement of soil quality, prevention of ground and surface water contamination, greenhouse gas regulation, encouragement of biodiversity and conservation of water and energy (see references 1). organic practices integrate natural methods such as mulching, plant diversity, native and adapted plants, crop rotation and the introduction of beneficial insects to control pests without synthetic pesticides.

environmental implications of pesticides

synthetic pesticides ensure high crop yields. while effective in achieving this goal, pesticides contaminate soil, air, ground and surface water, as well as the plants and animals that come into contact with these contaminated sources. freshwater and marine organisms are particularly susceptible to pesticides through agricultural runoff. pesticides also reduce soil fertility (necessitating the use of synthetic fertilizers) and can travel far from the original source, contaminating water and air hundreds of miles from the location of application (see references 2).

health implications of organics

although a subject of particular debate, many recent findings show that organic food is healthier than conventionally grown food. according to the usda, an extensive european union-funded study found that organically grown foods contain more beneficial compounds, such as the vitamins and antioxidants needed to combat many diseases (see references 5). organic milk, meat and eggs are regulated to ensure they are free of hormones administered to conventional livestock and poultry.

health implications of pesticides

pesticides affect human health in three ways: through skin contact, inhalation and ingestion. acute and long-term exposure to pesticides can cause serious health problems for farmers who apply them. the majority of other people are affected by drinking contaminated water and eating contaminated marine life (see references 3). pesticides have been linked to neurological disorders, endocrine and reproductive disorders, immune system deficiencies and cancer. according to the world health organization, acute pesticide poisoning (app) is responsible for significant annual mortality, especially in developing nations (see references 4).

other important considerations

not every small farm or business owner can afford the costly certification process required to be considered "certified organic," even if the farm is not using chemicals. "transitional" farms include those that once used chemicals and are now transitioning to organic-only production. in addition, though organic farming methods offer obvious environmental benefit, an organic apple shipped from around the world creates a different set of environmental problems. locally grown food (particularly locally grown, organic food) is key in sustainable food production.
