your teacher and parents.
= (12 ´ 1) + (1´ 3) + (16 ´ 1) + (1 ´ 1) = 32 u
Observation The list of ten things that are used daily are
Mass of C 2 H 5OH
mentioned below:
= (12 ´ 2) + (1 ´ 5) + (16 ´ 1) + (1 ´ 1) = 46 u
Things Metals Other materials
Toothbrush — Plastic, nylon (carbon) Difference = (46 - 32) u = 14 u
Fan Aluminium/ Iron — (b) C 2 H 5OH and C 3H7 OH
Spoon Stainless steel — These differ by a — CH 2 unit.
Tumbler — Glass
Mass of C 2 H 5OH = 46 u
Pencil Graphite (carbon) Wood (carbon)
Books — Paper obtained from Mass of C 3H7 OH
woods (carbon) = (12 ´ 3) + (1 ´ 7) + (16 ´ 1) + (1 ´ 1) = 60 u
Bread — Wheat (carbon) Difference = (60 - 46) u = 14 u
Pen Steel Plastic (carbon) (c) C 3H7 OH and C 4 H 9OH
Clothes — Cotton (carbon)
These also differ by a —CH 2 unit.
Note You can also mention any substance different from the
above. Mass of C 3H7 OH = 60 u
Conclusion It can be clearly seen that most of the Mass of C 4 H 9OH
substances contain carbon in it. = (12 ´ 4) + (1 ´ 9) + (16 ´ 1) + (1 ´ 1) = 74 u
Difference = (74 - 60) u = 14 u
