The hormone epinephrine is released in the human body during stress and increases the body's metabolic rate. Epinephrine, like m

any biochemical compounds, is composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. The percentage composition of the hormone is 59.0% C, 7.15% H, 26.2% O, and 7.65% N. Determine the empirical formula.

Answer:

C9 H13 N O3  

Explanation:

Carbon mole wt = 12

   59 /12 = 4.917

Hydrogen  mole wt = 1

  7.15 / 1 =   7.15

Oxygen mole wt = 16

  26.2 / 16 = 1.6375

Nitrogen  mole wt = 14

  7.65 / 14 = .5464                  

Now divide the numbers by the smallest found      

 Carbon   4.917 / .5464 = 9

 Hydrogen  7.15 / .5464 = 13

 Oxygen    1.6375 / 3

  Nitrogen  .5464 /.5464 =1                   emp form  C9 H13 O3 N

If 20 mL of gas is subjected to a temperature change from 10°C to 100°C and a pressure change from 1 atm to 10 atm,
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

E. None of these

Explanation:

We know, By GAS laws,

PV = NRT, where p- pressure, v- volume, n- number of moles, R- gas constant ,and T- temperature

Now, In the question, the number of moles remains the same as the gas is the same. so n is constant so we can compare n before and after a temperature change.

\frac{P1V1}{RT1} = \frac{P2V2}{RT2}

where P1= 1 atm, P2 = 10 atm, V1= 20 mL, T1= 10°C and T2= 100°C

We don't have to worry about the standard units as they are present equally on both the sides and get cut, same goes for R( gas constant)

So putting values, we get

\frac{1*20}{R*10} = \frac{10*V2}{R*100}

Cutting, R on both sides and moving contents to the right so that only V2 is left on the left.

\frac{1*20*100}{10*10} = V2

∴ V2 = \frac{2000}{100}

∴ V2 = 20mL

Use molecular structure and intermolecular bonding to describe why bromine has a lower boiling point than water
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

Bromine mollecules are held together by van der waals forces while a water molecule constitutes both van der waals forces and hydrogen bomnding

Explanation:

This makes the water molecule recquire more heat energy to break the bond thus a higher boiling point while bromine structure requires just litttle heat energy
