Principles of General Chemistry
- Vitamin A has a molar mass of 286.4 g/mol and a general molecular formula of CxHyE, where E is an unknown element. If vitamin A is 83.86% C and 10.56% H by mass, what is the molecular formula of vitamin A?arrow_forwardThe structure of one of the bases in DNA, adenine, is shown here. Which represents the greater mass: 40.0 g of adenine or 3.0 1023 molecules of the compound?arrow_forward3.111 The chlorophyll molecule responsible for photosynthesis in plants contains 2.72% Mg by mass. There is only one Mg atom per chlorophyll molecule. How can you determine the molar mass of chlorophyll based on this information?arrow_forward
- Cacodyl, a compound containing arsenic, was reported in 1842 by the German chemist Robert Wilhelm Bunsen. It has an almost intolerable garlic-like odor. Its molar mass is 210 g/mol, and it is 22.88% C, 5.76% H, and 71.36% As. Determine its empirical and molecular formulas.arrow_forwardThe reaction of methane and water is one way to prepare hydrogen for use as a fuel: CH4(g) + H2O(g) CO(g) + 3 H2(g) If you begin with 995 g of CH4 and 2510 g of water, (a) Which reactant is the limiting reactant? (b) What is the maximum mass of H2 that can be prepared? (c) What mass of the excess reactant remains when the reaction is completed?arrow_forwardMethanol, CH3OH, is prepared industrially from the gas-phase catalytic balanced reaction that has been depicted here using molecular models. In a laboratory test, a reaction vessel was filled with 41.1 g CO und 10.2 g H2. How many grams of methanol would be produced in a complete reaction? Which reactant remains unconsumed at the end of the reaction? How many grams of it remain?arrow_forward
- 3.55 An average person inhales roughly 2.5 g of O2 in a minute. How many molecules of oxygen are inhaled in (a) 1 minute, (b) 1 hour, (c) 1 day by an average person?arrow_forward3.95 Cumene is a hydrocarbon, meaning that it contains only carbon and hydrogen. If this compound is 89.94% C by mass and its molar mass is 120.2 g/mol, what is its molecular formula?arrow_forward3.113 MgCl2 is often found as an impurity in table salt (NaCl). If a 0.05200-g sample of table salt is found to contain 61.10% Cl by mass, describe how you could determine the percentage of MgCl2 in the sample.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_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
