(b) codeine, \(\mathrm{C}_{18} \mathrm{H}_{21} \mathrm{NO}_{3}\)
(c) cocaine, \(\mathrm{C}_{17} \mathrm{H}_{21} \mathrm{NO}_{4}\);
(d) tetracycline, \(\mathrm{C}_{22} \mathrm{H}_{24} \mathrm{~N}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{8}\);
(e) digitoxin, \(\mathrm{C}_{41} \mathrm{H}_{64} \mathrm{O}_{13}\);
(f) vancomycin, \(\mathrm{C}_{66} \mathrm{H}_{75} \mathrm{Cl}_{2} \mathrm{~N}_{9} \mathrm{O}_{24}\).
Solution
Step 1 of 7
(a)
Morphine has the structure formula \(\mathrm{C}_{17} \mathrm{H}_{19} \mathrm{NO}_{3}\)
Calculate the molecular mass of the morphine by adding the atomic masses of all the constituent atoms as follows:
The atomic mass of carbon atom is 12.0 g/mol.
The atomic mass of Hydrogen atom is 1.0 g/mol.
The atomic mass of nitrogen atom is 14.0 g/mol.
The atomic mass of oxygen atom is 16.0 g/mol.
