To determine the fraction of carbon in morphine, we need to know the chemical formula of morphine. From my readings, the chemical formula would be <span>C17H19NO<span>3. We assume we have 1 g of this substance. Using the molar mass, we can calculate for the moles of morphine. Then, from the formula we relate the amount of carbon in every mole of morphine. Lastly, we multiply the molar mass of carbon to obtain the mass of carbon. We calculate as follows:
1 g </span></span> <span>C17H19NO<span>3 ( 1 mol / 285.34 g ) ( 17 mol C / 1 mol </span></span> <span>C17H19NO3</span>) ( 12.01 g C / 1 mol C) = 0.7155 g C
Fraction of carbon = 0.7155 g C / 1 g <span>C17H19NO<span>3 = 0.7155</span></span>
The traditional calcium atom has twenty protons and twenty electrons making it neutral.
The calcium in the pic is a calcium ion so the number of protons and electrons are not equivalent.
Since it's 2+ that means the ion is positively charged and for that to happen electrons are away.
So 20-2=18
There are 18 electrons
