(a)
Interpretation:
The chemical notation
Concept Introduction:
The composition of a chemical compound can be presented in a very precise was with the use of chemical formula. Chemical formula uses chemical symbols of the elements that is present in the compound and numerical subscripts that represent how many number of atoms of each element is present in the compound.
(a)
Answer to Problem 1.75EP
Explanation of Solution
Given chemical notation is
The total number of atoms present in the chemical formula is found by summing up the subscript present in the chemical formula.
Therefore, there are six atoms in the given chemical formula.

Which uses predominate in the applications of these two materials?arrow_forwardMa huang, an extract from the ephedra species of plants, contains ephedrine. The Chinese have used this herb for more than 5000 years to treat asthma. More recently, ephedrine has been used in diet pills that can be purchased over the counter in herbal medicine shops. However, very serious concerns have been raised regarding these pills following reports that their use led to serious heart problems. (a) A molecular model of ephedrine is drawn below. From this determine the molecular formula for ephedrine and calculate its molar mass. (b) What is the weight percent of carbon in ephedrine? (c) Calculate the amount (moles) of ephedrine in a 0.125 g sample. (d) How many molecules of ephedrine are there in 0.125 g? How many C atoms?arrow_forward
- You have two distinct gaseous compounds made from element X and element Y. The mass percents are as follows: Compound I: 30.43% X, 69.57% Y Compound II: 63.64% X, 36.36% Y In their natural standard states, element X and element Y exist as gases. (Monatomic? Diatomic? Triatomic? That is for you to determine.) When you react gas X with gas Y to make the products, you get the following data (all at the same pressure and temperature): 1. volume gas X + 2 volumes gas Y2 volumes compound I 2. volumes gas X + 1 volume gas Y2 volumes compound II Assume the simplest possible formulas for reactants and products in the chemical equations above. Then, determine the relative atomic masses of element X and element Y.arrow_forwardAcetaminophen, whose structure is drawn below, is the active ingredient in some nonprescription pain killers.
