Answer to Question #306309 in General Chemistry for giant

Question

`Batrachotoxin (C₃₁H₄₂N₂O₆) is the most potent non-peptide (we'll learn what that means in Lesson 7) based poison known. It gained fame though its use in poison darts made from frog excretions. The frogs themselves don't produce the toxin directly, but through digestion of Melyrid beetles the frogs eat. Suppose you are trekking through the rainforest and discover an even more potent toxin that has the same empirical formula as batrachotoxin. If the molar mass of this new poison is 3,232.02 g/mol, what is its molecular formula?
