- Acetaminophen, whose structure is drawn below, is the active ingredient in some nonprescription pain killers. The recommended dose for an adult is two 500-mg caplets. How many molecules make up one dose of this drug?arrow_forwardA sample of ammonia, NH3, contains 1.2 1023 hydrogen atoms. How many NH3 molecules are in this sample?arrow_forwardIn chemistry, what is meant by the term mole? What is the importance of the mole concept?arrow_forward
- Use a factor derived from the relationships written in Exercise 2.43 and the factor-unit method to determine the following: a.The number of moles of beryllium in a 10.0g sample of beryllium b.The number lead atoms in a 2mol sample of lead c.The number of sodium atoms in a 50.0g sample of sodiumarrow_forwardYou find a compound composed only of element X and chlorine. and you know that the compound is 13.10% X by mass. Each molecule of the compound contains six times as many chlorine atoms as X atoms. What is element X?arrow_forwardn chemistry, what is meant by the term mole? What is the importance of the mole concept?arrow_forward
- If one can find the ratio of the number of moles of the elements in a compound to one another, one can find the formula of the compound. In a certain compound of copper and oxygen, CuxOy, we find that a sample weighing 0.9573g contains 0.7649gCu. a. How many moles of Cu are there in the sample? (MolesofCu=massofCumolarmassofCu) _moles b. How many gram of O are there in the sample? The mass of the sample equals the mass of the Cu plus the mass of O. _g c. How many moles of O are there in the sample. _moles d. What is the mole ratio (molesofCu/molesofO) in the sample? _:1 e. What is the formula of the oxide? The atom ratio equals the mole ratio and is expressed using the smallest integers possible. _ f. What is the molar mass of the copper oxide? _g/molarrow_forwardA small crystal of CaCl2 that weighs 0.12 g contains 6.5 1020 formula units of CaCl2. What is the total number of ions (cations and anions) that make up this crystal?arrow_forwardUse the periodic table shown in Fig. 4.9 to determine the atomic mass (per mole) or molar mass of each of the substances in column 1, and find that mass in column 2. l> Column 1 Column 2 (1) molybdenum (a) 33.99 g (2) lanthanum (b) 79.9 g (3) carbon tetrabromide (c) 95.94 g (4) mercury(II)oxide (d) l25.4g (5) titanium(iV) oxide (e) 138.9 g (6) manganese(ll) chloride (f) 143.1 g (7) phosphine, (g) 156.7 g (8) tin(II) fluoride (h) 216.6 g (9) lead(II) sulfide (i) 239.3 g (10) copper(I)oxide (j) 3316garrow_forward
- Open the Build a Molecule simulation (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/16molbuilding) and select the Larger Molecules tab. Select an appropriate atoms Kit to build a molecule with two carbon and six hydrogen atoms. Drag atoms into the space above the Kit to make a molecule. A name will appear when you have made an actual molecule that exists (even if it is not the one you want). You can use the scissors tool to separate atoms if you would like to change the connections. Click on 3D to see the molecule, and look at both the space-filling and ball-and-stick possibilities. Draw the structural formula of this molecule and state its name. Can you arrange these atoms in any way to make a different compound? 36. Use the Build a Molecule simulation (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/16molbuilding) to repeat Exercise 2.34, but build a molecule with three carbons, seven hydrogens, and one chlorine. Draw the structural formula of this molecule and slate its name. Can you arrange these atoms to make a different molecule? If so, draw its structural formula and state its name. How are the molecules drawn in (a) and (b) the same? How do they differ? What are they called (the type of relationship between these molecules, not their names)?arrow_forwardSaccharin, a molecular model of which is shown below, is more than 300 times sweeter than sugar. It was first made in 1807, when it was common practice for chemists to record the taste of any new substances they synthesized. (a) Write the molecular formula for the compound, and draw its structural formula. (S atoms are yellow.) (b) If you ingest 125 mg of saccharin, what amount (moles) of saccharin have you ingested? (c) What mass of sulfur is contained in 125 mg of saccharin?arrow_forwardWrite the molecular formula and calculate the molar mass for each of the molecules shown here. Which has the largest mass percent of carbon? Of oxygen? (a) ethylene glycol (used in antifreeze) (b) dihydroxyacetone (used in artificial tanning lotions) (c) ascorbic acid, commonly known as vitamin Carrow_forward
