- You find a compound composed only of element X and chlorine. and you know that the compound is 13.10% X by mass. Each molecule of the compound contains six times as many chlorine atoms as X atoms. What is element X?arrow_forward2.71 Use the web to determine the amount of low-density polyethylene and high-density polyethylene produced annually in the United States. Which uses predominate in the applications of these two materials?arrow_forwardAcetaminophen, whose structure is drawn below, is the active ingredient in some nonprescription pain killers. The recommended dose for an adult is two 500-mg caplets. How many molecules make up one dose of this drug?arrow_forward
- Determine the number of each type of atom in molecules represented by the following formulas: a. sulfur dioxide (SO2) b. butane (C4H10) c. chlorous acid (HClO2) d. boron trifluoride (BF3)arrow_forwardA sample of ammonia, NH3, contains 1.2 1023 hydrogen atoms. How many NH3 molecules are in this sample?arrow_forwardUse a factor derived from the relationships written in Exercise 2.43 and the factor-unit method to determine the following: a.The number of moles of beryllium in a 10.0g sample of beryllium b.The number lead atoms in a 2mol sample of lead c.The number of sodium atoms in a 50.0g sample of sodiumarrow_forward
- Saccharin, a molecular model of which is shown below, is more than 300 times sweeter than sugar. It was first made in 1807, when it was common practice for chemists to record the taste of any new substances they synthesized. (a) Write the molecular formula for the compound, and draw its structural formula. (S atoms are yellow.) (b) If you ingest 125 mg of saccharin, what amount (moles) of saccharin have you ingested? (c) What mass of sulfur is contained in 125 mg of saccharin?arrow_forwardIf one can find the ratio of the number of moles of the elements in a compound to one another, one can find the formula of the compound. In a certain compound of copper and oxygen, CuxOy, we find that a sample weighing 0.9573g contains 0.7649gCu. a. How many moles of Cu are there in the sample? (MolesofCu=massofCumolarmassofCu) _moles b. How many gram of O are there in the sample? The mass of the sample equals the mass of the Cu plus the mass of O. _g c. How many moles of O are there in the sample. _moles d. What is the mole ratio (molesofCu/molesofO) in the sample? _:1 e. What is the formula of the oxide? The atom ratio equals the mole ratio and is expressed using the smallest integers possible. _ f. What is the molar mass of the copper oxide? _g/molarrow_forwardThe Cullinan diamond was the largest natural diamond ever found (January 25, 1905). It weighed 3104 carats (1 carat = 200 mg). How many carbon atoms were present in the stone?arrow_forward
