Chapter 6, Problem 131E
In 1996, the media reported that possible evidence of life on Mars was found on a meteorite called Allan Hills 84001 (AH 84001). The meteorite was discovered in Antarctica in 1984 and is believed to have originated on Mars. Elemental analysis of substance within its crevices revealed carbon-containing compounds that normally derive only from living organisms. Suppose that one of those compounds had a molar mass of
; H, 4.98% What is the molecular formula for the carbon-containing compound?
The Allan Hills 84001 meteorite. Elemental analysis of the substance within the crevices of this meteorite revealed carbon-containing compounds that normally originate from living organisms.
