Question 3

A cosmetic product contains four esters, A, B, C, and D, which are analyzed by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. The results are summarized in the table below:

EsterRetention time / minutesRelative peak area (relative molar proportion)m/z m/z\,m/z of molecular ion peak
A2.13.5152
B3.23.8166
C4.11.2180
D4.45.4180

The concentration of ester B in the cosmetic product is 7.15 × 10-2 g dm-3.

Using the results, calculate the concentration, in mol dm−3\text{mol dm}^{-3}mol dm−3, of active ester D in the cosmetic product.

Give your answer to two significant figures.
