(a)
Interpretation:
The molar masses of molecules are given by using chemical formula to be calculated.
Concept introduction:
Molar mass is also known as molecular weight, which is the sum of the total mass in grams of all the atoms that present in a particular molecule. If we know the formula of a compound then we can easily determine the compound’s molar mass. We know that a formula consists of atoms and it is important to count atoms carefully, especially in compounds with polyatomic ions enclosed in parentheses.

- Nitrogen fixation in the root nodules of peas and other legumes occurs with a reaction involving a molybdenum-containing enzyme named nitrogenase. This enzyme contains two Mo atoms per molecule and is 0.0872% Mo by mass. Calculate the molar mass of the enzyme.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_forwardSalvarsan was long thought to be a single substance. Recently, however, a mass spectrometry study of the compound shows it to be a mixture of two molecules with the same empirical formula. Each has the composition 39.37% C, 3.304% H, 8.741% O, 7.652% N, and 40.932% As. One has a molar mass of 549 g/mol and the other has a molar mass of 915 g/mol. What are the molecular formulas of the compounds?arrow_forward
- Atomic masses are relative masses. What does this mean?arrow_forward3.117 For the oxides of iron, FeO, Fe2O3, and Fe3O4, describe how you would determine which has the greatest percentage by mass of oxygen. Would you need to look up any information to solve this problem?arrow_forward3.123 Most periodic tables provide molar masses with four or five significant figures for the elements. How accurately would you have to measure the mass of a sample of roughly 100 g to make a calculation of the number of moles of the chemical to have its significant figures limited by the molar mass calculation rather than the mass measurement?arrow_forward
- 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_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_forwardGiven that the density of argon is 1.78 g/L under standard conditions of temperature and pressure, how many argon atoms are present in a room with dimensions 4.0 m 5.0 m 2.4 m that is filled with pure argon under these conditions of temperature and pressure?arrow_forward
- A sample of glucose, C6H12O6, contains 1.250 x1021 carbonatoms. (a) How many atoms of hydrogen does it contain?(b) How many molecules of glucose does it contain? (c) Howmany moles of glucose does it contain? (d) What is the massof this sample in grams?arrow_forwardCalculate the percentage by mass of the indicated element inthe following compounds: (a) carbon in acetylene, C2H2, agas used in welding; (b) hydrogen in ascorbic acid, HC6H7O6,also known as vitamin C; (c) hydrogen in ammonium sulfate,(NH4)2SO4, a substance used as a nitrogen fertilizer;(d) platinum in PtCl2(NH3)2, a chemotherapy agent calledcisplatin; (e) oxygen in the female sex hormone estradiol,C18H24O2; (f) carbon in capsaicin, C18H27NO3, the compoundthat gives the hot taste to chili peppers.arrow_forward3.) Tetraphosphorus decaoxide reacts with water to form phosphoric acid, a major industrial acid. In the laboratory, the oxide is used as a drying agent (a) What is the mass (in g) of 4.59 x 1022 molecules of tetraphosphorus decaoxide? (b) How many P atoms are present in this sample?arrow_forward
