(a) Molecular oxygen 32 g/mol (b) Acetone 58 g/mol (c) Pentane, 2-methyl- 86g/mol (d) Pentane, 3-methyl- 86 g/mol (e) n-Hexane (solvent) 86 g/mol (f) Cyclopentane,methyl- 84 g/mol (g) Cyclohexane 84 g/mol (h) Hexane, 2-methyl-100 g/mol (i) Hexane, 3-methyl- (j) Heptane 100 g/mol (k) Toluene 92 g/mol (l)Octane 114 g/molConclusions that are possible to derive from the results are:- Leaving the materials in the solvent for 2 hours was enoughto show many of the chemicals present, however the individualelements of the cigarette that we left in a solvent for a greateramount of time (2 months) showed much clearer results- The three types of solvents used seem to desolve differentcompounds to variating degrees, therefore, only samples treatedwith the same solvent are comparable. In this case tolueneseemed to be the most effective.- Production methods that enclosed the entire element of thecigarette butt (filter or tobacco in wax) have higher traces ofchemicals than those that are merely submerged in elementsfor a particular amount of time (dying yarn and textiles)- All my material production processes have continued traces ofharmful chemicals such as benzene or even carcinogenic compoundssuch as arsenicThe question is now – how best to convey this continued levelof toxicity?105
