- Atomic masses are relative masses. What does this mean?arrow_forwardChalky, white crystals in mineral collections are often labeled borax, which has the molecular formula Na2B4O7 10H2O, when actually they are partially dehydrated samples with the molecular formula Na2B4O7 5H2O, which is more stable under the storage conditions. Real crystals of borax are colorless and transparent. (a) Calculate the percent mass that the mineral has lost when it partially dehydrates. (b) Is the percent boron by mass the same in both compounds?arrow_forwardYou have a pure sample of apholate, C12H24N9P3, a highly effective commercial insecticide. Calculate the molar mass of apholate. Calculate the mass of N in 100. g apholate. A sample containing 250.0 mg apholate is sprayed on an agricultural field. Calculate the mass of phosphorus in this sample of apholate; express your result in grams. Calculate the number of phosphorus atoms in this sample of apholate.arrow_forward
- 3.96 Methyl cyanoacrylate is the chemical name for the substance sold as Super Glue, and it has the chemical formula C5H5NO2. Calculate the number of molecules of this substance in a 1.0-ounce tube of Super Glue, assuming that the glue is 80% methyl cyanoacrylate by mass.arrow_forwardopical hydrocortisone is often used to treat a variety of skin conditions, such as insect bites, eczema, and rashes. Each molecule of hydrocortisone contains 21 atoms of carbon (plus other atoms). The mass percentage of carbon in hydrocortisone is 69.5 8%. What is the molar mass of hydrocortisone?arrow_forwardExpress the composition of each of the following compounds as the mass percents of its elements. a. formaldehyde, CH2O b. glucose, C6H12O6 c. acetic acid, HC2H3O2arrow_forward
