Determine the number of carbon atoms in the compound

Reference no: EM13693681

Problem- The mass spectrum of an organic compound shows the relative abundances of M to be 64.57% and M 1 to be 16.06%. Assuming the peaks are caused by 12C and 13C isotopes, determine the number of carbon atoms in the compound. Natural abundances: 12C is 98.93% and 13C is 1.07%

Please define why you think that's the right answer
