Use this equation to calculate the percentage of nitrogen in the sample described below. A sample of a new anti-malarial drug with a mass of 0.2394 g was made to undergo a series of reactions that changed all of the nitrogen in the compound into N₂. This gas had a volume of 18.90 mL when collected over water at 23.80 °C and a pressure of 746.0 torr. At 23.80 °C, the vapor pressure of water is 22.110 torr. When 6.478 mg of the compound was burned in pure oxygen 17.57 mg of CO₂ and 4.319 mg of H₂O were obtained.
States of Matter
The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).
Chemical Reactions and Equations
When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.
