What number does y stand for in the chemical formula of the compound?arrow_forward1. Express the composition of ammonium carbonate, (NH4)2CO3, in terms of the mass of each element in 1.00 mol of compound and the mass percent of each element. 2. What is the mass of carbon in 454 g octane, C8H18?arrow_forward
- The element bromine is Br2, so the mass of a Br2 molecule is the sum of the mass of its two atoms. Bromine has two isotopes. The mass spectrum of Br2 produces three peaks with relative masses of 157.836, 159.834, and 161.832, and relative heights of 6.337, 12.499. and 6.164, respectively. (a) What isotopes of bromine are present in each of the three peaks? (b) What is the mass of each bromine isotope? (c) What is the average atomic mass of bromine? (d) What is the abundance of each of the two bromine isotopes?arrow_forwardAtomic masses are relative masses. What does this mean?arrow_forwardExpress the composition of each of the following compounds as the mass percents of its elements. a. formaldehyde, CH2O b. glucose, C6H12O6 c. acetic acid, HC2H3O2arrow_forward
