Answer to Problem 2.30E

The molecular weight of the given molecule, nitrogen dioxide in u is 46.01u.

Explanation of Solution

The given molecule is nitrogen dioxide, NO2. This molecule contains one nitrogen atom and two oxygen atoms.

According to the periodic table, the atomic weight of one nitrogen atom is 14.01u and atomic weight of one oxygen atom is 16.00u. Thus, the molecular weight of nitrogen dioxide molecule is calculated as,

MolecularweightofNO2=(atomicweightofN)+(2×atomicweightofO)

Substitute the value of atomic weight of one nitrogen atom and oxygen atom in the above expression.

MolecularweightofNO2=(14.01u)+(2×16.00u)=46.01u

Thus, the molecular weight of the given molecule, nitrogen dioxide in u is 46.01u.

Conclusion

The molecular weight of the given molecule, nitrogen dioxide in u is 46.01u.

Answer to Problem 2.30E

The molecular weight of the given molecule, ammonia in u is 17.034u.

Explanation of Solution

The given molecule is ammonia, NH3. This molecule of ammonia contains one nitrogen atom and three hydrogen atoms.

According to the periodic table, the atomic weight of one nitrogen atom is 14.01u and the atomic weight of one hydrogen atom is 1.008u. Thus, the molecular weight ammonia molecule is calculated as,

MolecularweightofNH3=(atomicweightofN)+(3×atomicweightofH)

Substitute the value of atomic weights of nitrogen and hydrogen atoms in the above expression.

MolecularweightofNH3=(14.01u)+(3×1.008u)=17.034u

Thus, the molecular weight of the given molecule, ammonia in u is 17.034u.

Conclusion

The molecular weight of the given molecule, ammonia in u is 17.034u.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Answer to Problem 2.30E

The molecular weight of the given molecule, glucose in u is 180.156u.

Explanation of Solution

The given molecule is glucose, C6H12O6. This molecule of glucose contains six carbon atoms, twelve hydrogen atoms, and six oxygen atoms.

According to the periodic table, the atomic weight of one hydrogen atom is 1.008u, the atomic weight of one oxygen atom is 16.00u and the atomic weight of one carbon atom is 12.01u. Thus, the molecular weight of glucose molecule is calculated as,

MolecularweightofC6H12O6=[(6×atomicweightofC)+(12×atomicweightofH)+(6×atomicweightofO)]

Substitute the value of atomic weights of hydrogen, oxygen and carbon atoms in the above expression.

MolecularweightofC6H12O6=[(6×12.01u)+(12×1.008u)+(6×16.00u)]=180.156u

Thus, the molecular weight of the given molecule, glucose in u is 180.156u.

Conclusion

The molecular weight of the given molecule, glucose in u is 180.156u.

Interpretation Introduction

The molecular weight of the given molecule, ozone in u is 48.00u.

Explanation of Solution

The given molecule is ozone, O3. It is a triatomic molecule and possesses three atoms of oxygen.

According to the periodic table, the atomic weight of one oxygen atom is 16.00u. Thus, the molecular weight of ozone molecule is calculated as,

MolecularweightofO3=3×(atomicweightofO)

Substitute the value of atomic weight of one oxygen atom in the above expression.

MolecularweightofO3=3×(16.00u)=48.00u

Thus, the molecular weight of the given molecule, ozone in u is 48.00u.

Conclusion

The molecular weight of the given molecule, ozone in u is 48.00u.

Answer to Problem 2.30E

The molecular weight of the given molecule, ethylene glycol in u is 62.068u.

Explanation of Solution

The given molecule is ethylene glycol, C2H6O2. This molecule of ethyl alcohol contains two carbon atoms, six hydrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms.

According to the periodic table, the atomic weight of one hydrogen atom is 1.008u, the atomic weight of one oxygen atom is 16.00u and the atomic weight of one carbon atom is 12.01u. Thus, the molecular weight of ethylene glycol molecule is calculated as,

MolecularweightofC2H6O2=[(2×atomicweightofC)+(6×atomicweightofH)+(2×atomicweightofO)]

Substitute the value of atomic weights of hydrogen, oxygen and carbon atoms in the above expression.

MolecularweightofC2H6O2=[2×(12.01u)+6×(1.008u)+2×(16.00u)]=62.068u

Thus, the molecular weight of the given molecule, ethylene glycol in u is 62.068u.

Conclusion

The molecular weight of the given molecule, ethylene glycol in u is 62.068u.
