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%

Which macromolecules break apart by hydrolysis?
ankoles [38]

Answer:

Dehydration synthesis reactions build molecules up and generally require energy, while hydrolysis reactions break molecules down and generally release energy. Carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids are built up and broken down via these types of reactions, although the monomers involved are different in each case.

saul85 [17]

Answer:

Q1. C

Q2 and Q3 are correct.

Explanation:

Since F=ma, and the force is a constant,

for the greatest acceleration, the mass of the ball must be the least.

Thus ball C has the greatest acceleration.

Let's check:

A) F=ma

a=F/m

a= F/68

B) a=F/72

C) a= F/64 (✓)

The smaller the denominator, the larger the value of a.

(Think: 1/2 >1/3)
