Answer:

(C) O, C, H, N

Explanation:

<u>Roughly 96% of mass of human body is made up of four elements which are oxygen, carbon, nitrogen and hydrogen.</u>

Oxygen and hydrogen are predominantly found in the water, which makes up about 60% of body's weight. Carbon is synonymous with the life. The central role of carbon is due to fact that it has four bonding sites which allow for building of long and complex chains of the molecules. Moreover, these carbon bonds can be formed and also be broken with amount of energy which makes life alive. Nitrogen is found in organic molecules, including amino acids which make up the proteins, and nucleic acids which make up the DNA.

The active ingredient in some oral anesthetics used in sore throat sprays. what is the molar mass of phenol?
raketka [301]

Answer: Molecular mass of the phenol is 94g/mol.

Explanation:

Phenol is an active ingredient in some oral anesthetics used in sore throat sprays.It is used as anesthetics to cure minor sour throat pain , minor mouth irritations etc.

For Example : Cramex , Chloraseptic sprays contains phenol as an active ingredient.

Phenol has a molecular formula of C_6H_5OH

Molecular mass of the phenol = 6(mass of carbon)+5(mass of hydrogen)+1(mass of oxygen)+1(mass of hydrogen) = 6(12)+5(1)+1(16)+(1) = 94 g/mol

Element Y has two natural isotopes Y-63 (62.940 amu) and Y-65 (64.928 amu). Calculate the atomic mass of element Y, given the ab
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

Average atomic mass = 63.553 amu.

Explanation:

Given data:

Abundance of Y-63 = 69.17%

Abundance of Y-65 = 100 - 69.17 = 30.83%

Atomic mass of Y-63 = 62.940 amu

Atomic mass of Y-65 = 64.928 amu

Atomic mass of Y = ?

Solution:

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

Average atomic mass= (62.940×69.17)+(64.928×30.83) /100

Average atomic mass =  4353.560 + 2001.730 / 100

Average atomic mass = 6355.29 / 100

Average atomic mass = 63.553 amu.
