Mass perventage of nitrogen in urea, arginine, ornithine is   46.67%, 32.2%,21% respectively.

What is Mass perventage ?

Mass percentage is one way of representing the concentration of an element in a compound or a component in a mixture. Mass percentage is calculated as the mass of a component divided by the total mass of the mixture, multiplied by 100.

Molecular mass of urea (NH2CONH2) is= 2× (Atomic mass of N ) + 4 × (Atomic mass of H) + (Atomic mass of C) (Atomic mass of O) = 60

Mass percentage of N = Total mass of N atoms in the compoundMass of compound×100=2860×100=46.67%

chemical formula for arginine is C6H14N4O2

molar mass of C6H14N4O2=174g/mol

moles of N atoms in C6H14N4O2=4

mass of N atoms=14*4=56g

mass percent of N in C6H14N4O2=(56/174)*100=32.2%

the chemical formula for ornithine is C5H12N2O2

molar mass of C5H12N2O2=132g/mol

moles of N atoms in C5H12N2O2=2

mass of N atoms in C5H12N2O2=2*14=28

mass percent of N in C5H12N2O2=(28/132)*100=21%

A 200-gram sample of a radioactive nuclide is left to decay for 60 hours. At the end of 60 hours, only 25 grams of the sample is
Goryan [66]
Half life is the time taken by a radioactive isotope to decay by half its original mass. 
The original mass is 200 g
Time taken is 60 hours
Final mass is 25 g
Therefore;
Final mass = Original mass × (1/2)^n; where n is the number of half lives.
25 = 200 (1/2)^n
1/8 = (1/2)^n
    n = 3 
Three half lives = 60 hours
1 half lives = 20 hours
Therefore; the half life of the radioactive nucleus is 20 hours

How many moles are in 3.01 x 10^23 atoms of zinc?
Lerok [7]

Answer:

<h2>0.5 moles</h2>

Explanation:

To find the number of moles in a substance given it's number of entities we use the formula

n =  \frac{N}{L} \\

where n is the number of moles

N is the number of entities

L is the Avogadro's constant which is

6.02 × 10²³ entities

From the question we have

n =  \frac{3.01 \times  {10}^{23} }{6.02 \times  {10}^{23} }  =  \frac{3.01}{6.02}  \\  = 0.5

We have the final answer as

<h3>0.5 moles</h3>

Hope this helps you

Before you can find the mass, what do you need<br> to know?
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:The easiest way to find the mass of anything is to weigh it. You're actually measuring the force of gravity on the object, and technically, you should divide the weight by the acceleration due to gravity to get the mass.

Define shielding and effective nuclear charge. What is the connection between the two?
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

The relation between the shielding and effective nuclear charge is given as

Z_{eff} = Z -S

where s denote shielding

z_{eff} denote effective nuclear charge

Z - atomic number

Explanation:

shielding is referred to as the repulsion of an outermost electron to the pull of electron from valence shell.  Higher the electron in valence shell higher will be the shielding effects.  

Effective nuclear charge is the amount of net positive charge that valence electron has.

The relation between the shielding and the effective nuclear charge is given as  

Z_{eff} = Z -S

wheres denote shielding

z_{eff} denote effective nuclear charge  

Z - atomic number
