- The active ingredient in Pepto-Bismo® (an over- the-counter remedy for an upset stomach) is bismuth sub-salicylate, C7H5BiO4. Analysis of a 1.7500-g sample of Pepto-Bismol yields 346 mg of bismuth. What percent by mass is bismuth subsalicylate in the sample? (Assume that there are no other bismuth-containing compounds in Pepto-Bismol.)arrow_forwardBoron forms an extensive series of compounds with hydrogen, all with the general formula BxHy. To analyze one of these compounds, you burn it in air and isolate the boron in the form of B2O3 and the hydrogen in the form of water. You find that 0.1482 g BxHy gives 0.4221 g B2O3 when burned in excess O2. Determine the empirical I formula of BxHy.arrow_forwardYou take 1.00 g of an aspirin tablet (a compound consisting solely of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen), burn it in air, and collect 2.20 g CO2 and 0.400 g H2O. You know that the molar mass of aspirin is between 170 and 190 g/mol. Reacting 1 mole of salicylic acid with I mole of acetic anhydride (C4H6O3) gives you 1 mole of aspirin and 1 mole of acetic acid (C2H4O2). Use this information to determine the molecular formula of salicylic acid.arrow_forward

A typical aspirin tablet contains 500. mg C9H8O4. What amount (moles) of C9H8O4 molecules and what number of molecules of acetylsalicylic acid are in a 500.-mg tablet?arrow_forward3.96 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_forwardCalculate the mass in grams of 3.839 moles of (a) hydrazine, a rocket propellant.

- A solution of scandium chloride was treated with silver nitrate. The chlorine in the scandium compound was converted to silver chloride, AgCl. A 58.9-mg sample of scandium chloride gave 167.4 mg of silver chloride. What are the mass percentages of Sc and Cl in scandium chloride? What is its empirical formula?arrow_forwardThe principal component of mothballs is naphthalene, a compound with a molecular mass of about 130 amu, containing only carbon and hydrogen. A 3.000-mg sample of naphthalene burns to give 10.3 mg of CO2. Determine its empirical and molecular formulas.arrow_forward4.108 Elemental analysis is sometimes carried out by combustion of the sample. For a hydrocarbon, the only products formed are CO2 and H2O. If a 1.36-g sample of an unknown hydrocarbon is burned and 2.21 g of H2O is produced along with 4.07 g of CO2, what is the empirical formula of the hydrocarbon?arrow_forward
