For Gold

I haven't done Mass Spectronomy in Chemistry yet - I'm in year 12 and I've only done the inorganic bit.
Is there some content I need to look up, or am I just looking for a hydrocarbon with that mass.
You don't need to do any. It's really not hard to just figure out.
I'm still stuck on Gold. Any hints?
Trial and error. You can't go wrong.

So I'm just looking for a hydrocarbon with that weight
Yeah.

There's no tricks to it either, it's a common type of hydrocarbon.
DONE

Hi happymonkey7, what have you got so far?

Stuck on entry! In my defence, I haven't studied any organic chemistry except what we've done in biology.
EDIT: C28H32O3N2 maybe?
