Exp. density |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cyclohexanol | 100 | (6×2)+(13×1)+(1×2)=26 | One ring and a hydroxylic group = 120% | d=1.2*100/5×26=0.92 | 0.962 |
| Dimethylethylphosphine | 90 | (4×2)+(11×1)+(1×4)=23 | No corrections | d=90/5×23=0.78 | 0.76 |
| Ethylenediamine | 60 | (2×2)+(8×1)+(2×2)=16 | Two primary amine groups = 120% | d=1.2×60/5×16=0.90 | 0.899 |
| Sulfolane | 120 | (4×2)+(8×1)+(2×2)+(1×4)=24 | One ring and two S=O bonds = 130% | d=1.3×120/5×24=1.30 | 1.262 |
| 1-Bromonaphthalene | 207 | (10×2)+(7×1)+(1×5)=32 | Two condensed rings = 115% | d=1,15×207/5×32=1.49 | 1.483 |

Famous quotes containing the word calculation:
““To my thinking” boomed the Professor, begging the question as usual, “the greatest triumph of the human mind was the calculation of Neptune from the observed vagaries of the orbit of Uranus.”
“And yours,” said the P.B.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
“Common sense is the measure of the possible; it is composed of experience and prevision; it is calculation appled to life.”
