im not sure how to calculate CH

Mathplayer223:

@vocaloid

Vocaloid:

C and H are just carbon and hydrogen (CH3CH2)2 start from the inside and work your way out CH3 = 1 carbon, 3 hydrogens CH2 = 1 carbon, 2 hydrogens add everything up then multiply by 2 since you have that 2 outside the parentheses

Vocaloid:

oh, after that, add O since there's an Oxygen at the end

Mathplayer223:

26.08?

Vocaloid:

should be much more than that (CH3CH2)2 O inside the parenthese are 2 carbons, 5 hydrogens 2(12) + 5(1.007) = 29.035 double this, since there's a 2 outside the parentheses ---> 2*29.035 = 58.07 add oxygen 58.07 + 15.999 = 74.07

Mathplayer223:

2 times 12?

Mathplayer223:

never mind

Mathplayer223:

is 1.008*5 5.04?

Mathplayer223:

@vocaloid

Vocaloid:

yes I just did all the calculations in one line to save space

Mathplayer223:

thanks i figured out my mistake

Mathplayer223:

i got 74.123

Vocaloid:

yeah just be sure to round to 74.12 since they only ask for 2 places

Mathplayer223:

but you got 74.07

Vocaloid:

mine's a little off because I used C = 12 instead of C = 12.0107 which is a bit more accurate, so yours is closer to the actual value
