Carbohydrates are substances that are found in foods such as bread and pasta, which provide the body with heat and energy. Chemically, carbohydrates are made of three kinds of elements namely carbon , hydrogen and oxygen.

Carbohydrates are separated into two main categories, simple carbohydrates and complex carbohydrates.  

Simple carbohydrates are those that contain one or two sugar molecules linked together. Complex carbohydrates are those that contain  three or more sugar molecules linked together. In some cases these chains can contain hundreds of sugar molecules.

Chlorine (Cl) is 76% chlorine-35 and 24% chlorine-37. Determine the average atomic mass of chlorine. Show/Explain work.
Flura [38]

Answer:

Average atomic mass of chlorine is 35.48 amu.

Explanation:

Given data:

Percent abundance of Cl-35 = 76%

Percent abundance of Cl-37 = 24%

Average atomic mass = ?

Solution:

Average atomic mass  = (abundance of 1st isotope × its atomic mass) +(abundance of 2nd isotope × its atomic mass)  / 100

Average atomic mass  = (76×35)+(24×37) /100

Average atomic mass =  2660 + 888 / 100

Average atomic mass  = 3548/ 100

Average atomic mass = 35.48 amu

Average atomic mass of chlorine is 35.48 amu.

How many molecules are in 2.50 moles of carbon dioxide?
podryga [215]

Answer:

1.5055×10²⁴ molecules

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Number of mole CO₂ = 2.5 moles

Number of molecules CO₂ =?

The number of molecules present in 2.5 moles CO₂ can be obtained as:

From Avogadro's hypothesis,

1 mole of CO₂ = 6.022×10²³ molecules

Therefore,

2.5 mole of CO₂ = 2.5 × 6.022×10²³

2.5 mole of CO₂ = 1.5055×10²⁴ molecules

Thus, 1.5055×10²⁴ molecules are present in 2.5 moles CO₂

How do you find the percent yield of a chemical reaction?
kotegsom [21]
To express the efficiency of a reaction, you can calculate the percent yield using this formula: %yield = (actual yield/theoretical yield) x 100. A percent yield of 90% means the reaction was 90% efficient, and 10% of the materials were wasted (they failed to react, or their products were not
