HDL levels between 40. and 59 mg/dL are typical for a healthy individual. What is this range of HDL cholesterol in units of mol/L? The formula for cholesterol is C27H46O.arrow_forward
- Complete the following table for TNT (trinitrotoluene), C7H5(NO2)3.arrow_forwardWhat number of molecules (or formula units) are present in 1.00 g of each of the compounds in Exercise 52?arrow_forwardTwo general chemistry students working together in the lab weigh out 0.832 g of CaCl2 2 H2O into a crucible. After heating the sample for a short time and allowing the crucible to cool, the students determine that the sample has a mass of 0.739 g. They then do a quick calculation. On the basis of this calculation, what should they do next? (a) Congratulate themselves on a job well done. (b) Assume the bottle of CaCl2 2 H2O was mislabeled; it actually contained something different. (c) Heat the crucible again, and then reweigh it.arrow_forward
