Millimoles of  C=41.2144
Millimoles of  H=5.6318×2
29.72 mg of dieldrin contains 57.1325.31×29.72mg of AgCl
Millimoles of  Cl=57.13×29.7225.31×143.5
Weight of  O=29.72[41.2144×12+5.6318×2×1+57.13×29.72×35.525.31×143.5]
Weight of  O=29.72[11.239+0.6255+16.59]
Weight of oxygen =1.265 mg
nC=41.2144               41.2144×161.265=118412 nH=5.639                  5.639×161.265=7.98 nO=1.26516                 1.26516×161.265=1 nCl=57.13×29.7225.31×143.5   57.13×29.7225.31×143.5×=5.956
