Compound X, isolated from lanolin (sheep's wool fat), has the pungent aroma of dirty sweatsocks. A careful analysis showed that compound X contains 62.0% carbon and 10.4% hydrogen. No nitrogen or halogen was found.
b. A molecular weight determination showed that compound X has a molecular weight of approximately 117. Find the molecular formula of compound X.

In 1934, Edward A. Doisy of Washington University extracted 3000 lb of hog ovaries to isolate a few milligrams of pure estradiol, a potent female hormone. Doisy burned 5.00 mg of this precious sample in oxygen and found that 14.54 mg of CO₂ and 3.97 mg of H₂O were generated.

b. The molecular weight of estradiol was later determined to be 272. Determine the molecular formula of estradiol.
