Molar mass = 305.42 g/mol

C = ( 12 x 18 / 305.42 ) x 100 => 70.72 % of C

H = ( 1 x 27 / 305.42 ) x 100 => 8.84 % of H

N = ( 14 x 1 / 305.42 ) x 100 => 4.58 % of N

O = ( 16 x 3 / 305.42) x 100 => 15.71% of O

hope this helps!

Answer:

Explanation:  C_{18}H_{27}NO_{3}  is an organic compound with a nitro group present in it.

Given that the molar mass of the compound is 305.42 g/mol.

Mass percent of element is calculated by the mass of element divided by the total mass of the substance multiplied by 100.

Mass percent of carbon = (12 x 18) / 305.42 x 100 = 216/ 305.42 x 100 = 70.72%

Mass Percent of Hydrogen = (1 x 27) / 305.42 x 100 = 27/ 305.42 x 100 = 8.84%

Mass Percent of Nitrogen = (1 x 14)/ 305.42 x 100 = 14/ 305.42 x 100 = 4.58%

Mass Percent of Oxygen = (3 x 16)/ 305.42 x 100 = 48/ 305.42 x 100 = 15.71%

Answer:

The answer to your question is an acid base reaction

Explanation:

A single replacement reaction  is a reaction in which one metal replaces the cation of a compound. The reaction of this problem is not of this type because here the reactants are compounds no single elements.

A decomposition reaction  is a reaction in which one compound decomposes into two or more products. This is not the answer to this question because in this reaction there are two reactants not only one.

A synthesis reaction  is a reaction in which two reactants form only one product. The reaction of this problem is not of this type because there are two products not only one.

An acid-base reaction is a kind of double replacement reaction. In some acid-base reactions, there is an interchange of cations and anions like is shown in this reaction.

IrinaK [193]
  • The difference between single displacement reaction and double displacement reaction are:

Explanation:

in the chemical reaction an atom in a molecule is replaced by another atom forming the end product .this type of chemical reaction involved only two reactants for example zinc + copper sulphate give us copper sulphate + copper.double displacement reaction is the reaction in which two compounds react together to form two other compounds by mutual exchange of other ions is called double displacement reaction.this type of reaction is involved two or more than two reactants.for example AG and O3 + NaCl give us agcl + nano3
