(b)
Interpretation:
Chemical formula for compound, nicotine has to be written.
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.

- In Chapter 3, we learned that all matter is composed of atoms. In this chapter, we learned that most common substances are either compounds or mixtures of compounds. How can these both be true? Explain.arrow_forwardHigh-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol is the good cholesterol because adequate levels reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. HDL levels between 40. and 59 mg/dL are typical for a healthy individual. What is this range of HDL cholesterol in units of mol/L? The formula for cholesterol is C27H46O.arrow_forward(For Exercises 4546) Solutions containing nickel(II) ion are usually bright green in color. When potassium hydroxide is added to such a nickel(II) solution, a pale-green fluffy solid forms and settles out of the solution. The fact that a reaction takes place when potassium hydroxide is added to a solution of nickel(II) ions is an example of a properly. . The fact that a solution of nickel(II) ion is bright green is an example of a property.arrow_forward
- Indicate whether each of the following statements is true or false. If a statement is false, change it to make it true. (Such a rewriting should involve more than merely converting the statement to the negative of itself.) a. The atom is the limit of chemical subdivision for both elements and compounds. b. Triatomic molecules must contain at least two kinds of atoms. c. A molecule of a compound must be heteroatomic. d. Only heteroatomic molecules may contain three or more atoms.arrow_forwardA substance composed of 2 or more elements in a fixed, definite proportion is considered a homogeneous mixture. a heterogeneous mixture. a molecular compound an alloy. a solution.arrow_forward_2. It is the chemical formula of the gas that is used to pressurize tennis balls. 3. It is the chemical formula of the substance that is used to prevent soap from drying out. _4. It is the chemical substance that is used to chlorinate swimming pools. 5. It is the chemical substance that is used to make cakes and other baked products rise in the oven.arrow_forward
- 7. A metal (M) forms a compound with the formula Mla. The compound contains 71.00% I by mass. Identify the metal in the compound by name. 8. A sunscreen preparation contains 2.50% benzyl salicylate by mass. If a tube contains 4.0 oz of sunscreen, how many tubes of sunscreen can be made if you have 2.03 lb benzyl salicylate?arrow_forwardA large number of molecules is called a an element b a compound c a mixture d Depends on the number of molecules e None of thesearrow_forwardA student measures the mass of a sample of a metallic element, M. Then the student heats the sample in air, where it completely reacts to form the compound MO. The student measures the mass of the compound that was formed. Which of the following questions can be answered from the results of the experiment? A What is the density of M? B What is the molar mass of M? What is the melting point of M? What is the melting point of MO?arrow_forward
- Three containers A, B, and C are filled with 32 g of oxygen gas (O2), 32 g of chlorine gas (Cl2), and 32 g of ozone gas (O3) respectively. Write “True” or “False” next to the following statements related to these gases. Container C has the least number of atoms Container A has largest number of atomsarrow_forwardwrite mixture if it is corresponds with mixture and compound if it is corresponds with compound. -atoms of different elements chemically combined together in a fixed ratio -combination of two or more substances-elements or compounds -ingredients that are physically mixed but chemically separate -substances combined together in varying ratio -represented by a chemical formula -can be separated into simpler substances by chemical reaction -can be separated into simpler substances by physical means -have its characteristic chemical and physical properties that are distinct from its components -reflects the chemical and physical properties of its components -can be homogeneous or heterogeneousarrow_forwardNatural gas is odorless; to alert people to gas leaks, the gas company inserts an additive that has a distinctive scent. When there is a gas leak, the additive reaches your nose before the gas does. What can you conclude about the masses of the additive molecules and gas molecules?arrow_forward
