Question #1
A compound responsible for the odor of garlic has a molecular weight of 146 g/mol. A 0.650 g sample of the compound contains 0.321 g of carbon, 0.044 g of hydrogen, and 0.285 g of sulfur. What is the molecular formula of the compound?,,

B.   C3H15S3
C.   C3H5S

Question #2
The golden dart frog is considered the most poisonous vertebrate in the world, with pufferfish close behind in second place.   Pufferfish produce a compound known as tetrodotoxin (C11H17N3O8) that is a neurotoxin.  In Japan, pufferfish are considered a delicacy and to be licenced to prepare it for others, a chef must prepare it for himself and not die. Paralysis can start in as little as 20 minutes and death in 4-6 hours. You are collecting tropical fish from a little known cove in the pacific and studying your catch. You believe that you have discovered an even more potent neurotoxin that has the same empirical formula as tetrodotoxin, but has a mass of 1277.28.  What is the molecular formula for the new poison?
A.   C22H34N6O16
B.   C44H68N12O32
C.   C1240H1680N80O240
D.   C133H51N9O24
Question #3
Tabun (C5H11N2O2P) is one of the first nerve agents discovered, and this liquid is known for a fruity odor and can be sprayed as a mist that causes convulsions and paralysis. Tabun itself is not extremely deadly, but the success of this chemical compound in war led to the development of deadlier toxins like soman (C7H16FO2P) and sarin (C4H10FO2P). Iraqi soldiers used Tabun in the final days of the Iran/Iraq war to kill thousands of Iranians. Which of these compounds contains the highest percentage of phosphorus by mass?
