- Given that the molar mass of carbon tetrachloride, CCl4 , is 153 g, calculate the mass in grams of 1 molecule of CCl4 .arrow_forwardWhat is the total mass (amu) of carbon in each of the following molecules? CH4 CHCl3 C12H12O6 CH3CH2CH2CH2CH3arrow_forwardDetermine the molecular mass of the following compounds:arrow_forward
- Determine a chemical formula from elemental analysis (i.e., from % composition).arrow_forwardAtomic masses are relative masses. What does this mean?arrow_forwardThe structure of one of the bases in DNA, adenine, is shown here. Which represents the greater mass: 40.0 g of adenine or 3.0 1023 molecules of the compound?arrow_forward
- After the following chemical equation was balanced, the name of one of the reactants was substituted for its formula. propane+5O23CO2+4H2O Using only the information found within the chemical equation, determine the molecular formula of propane.arrow_forwardCarbonic anhydrase, an important enzyme in mammalian respiration, is a large zinc-containing protein with a molar mass of 3.00 × 104 g/mol. The zinc is 0.218% by mass of the protein. Determine how many zinc atoms each carbonic anhydrase molecule contains.arrow_forwardCalculate the mass in grains of hydrogen present in 2.500 g of each of the following compounds. l type="a"> benzene, C6H6 i>calcium hydride, CaH2 i>ethyl alcohol, C2H5OH i>serine, C3H7O3Narrow_forward
- With the advent of techniques such as scanning tunneling microscopy, it is now possible to write with individual atoms by manipulating and arranging atoms on an atomic surface. a. If an image is prepared by manipulating iron atoms and their total mass is 1.05 1020 g, what number of iron atoms were used? b. If the image is prepared on a platinum surface that is exactly 20 platinum atoms high and 14 platinum atoms wide, what is the mass (grams) of the atomic surface? c. If the atomic surface were changed to ruthenium atoms and the same surface mass as determined in part b is used, what number of ruthenium atoms is needed to construct the surface?arrow_forwardhat is the difference between the empirical and molecular for mulas of a compound? Can they ever be the same? Explain.arrow_forwardSalvarsan was long thought to be a single substance. Recently, however, a mass spectrometry study of the compound shows it to be a mixture of two molecules with the same empirical formula. Each has the composition 39.37% C, 3.304% H, 8.741% O, 7.652% N, and 40.932% As. One has a molar mass of 549 g/mol and the other has a molar mass of 915 g/mol. What are the molecular formulas of the compounds?arrow_forward
