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 student wants to make a 0.150 M aqueous solution of silver (I) nitrate but only has 11.27 g of AgNO3. What volume of the 0.150
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

442.3 mL

Explanation:

Remember that Molarity is a measure of concentration in Chemistry and it's defined as the number of moles of the substance divided by liters of the solution:

M=\frac{Moles of substance X}{Volume of the solution}

Then, you can express 11.27 g of AgNO3 as moles of AgNO3 using the molar mass of the compound:

11.27 g AgNO_{3} *\frac{1 mole AgNO_{3}}{169.87 g AgNO_{3}} = 0.06634 moles AgNO_{3}

Then you can solve for the volume of the solution:

Volume of the solution=\frac{Moles of AgNO_{3}}{M} =\frac{0.06634 mol AgNO_{3}}{0.150 M} =0.4423 L = 442.3 mL

Hope it helps!

What does resonance result in?
Tcecarenko [31]

louder sounds

Explanation:

Resonance results in louder sounds.

Resonance is a phenomenon that produces a large vibration as a result of smaller vibration that causes the resonating body to vibrate at its own natural frequency.

Resonance results in sound amplification and causes louder sounds. Increasing vibration results in the production of a louder sound.

Someone thought there was water in Beaker C. He drank some and quickly spat out.He said that it was salty. Explain why this happ
fomenos

Answer:

He assumed wrongly

Explanation:

It happened this way because the person assumed wrongly.

Most other compounds have the same physical appearance as water especially when in liquid form.

  • This can be a very tricky one in the laboratory.
  • The sense of taste is not the best way to fathom what a particular compound is made up of.
  • This is the reason why this student or person faced this sort of problem.
  • Water has different properties that can be tested for using simple techniques in the laboratory.
