Answer:

C9H13O3N

Explanation:

Take the atomic mass of C=12.0, H=1.0, O=16.0 and N=14.0.

We can draw a chart (please view this on desktop so to avoid spacing errors):

Let the mass of Epinephrine be 100g.

                             C                       H                          O                              N

mass(g) :              59                      7.15                    26.2                         7.65

no. of moles : 59/12 =4.9167     7.15/1 = 7.15     26.2/16=1.6375 7.65/14=0.5464

(n.o.m. = mass/molar mass)

Ratio:   4.9167/0.5464 =9    7.15/0.5464=13      1.6375= 3      0.5464/0.5464 =1

(divide the n.o.m. by the smallest n.o.m., which is 0.5464 in this case, take the whole numbers)

So, the empirical formula will be: C9H13O3N

But this is still not yet the molecular formula. We have to ensure the molar mass is 183g/mol. Multiply the empirical formula by n.

So, let the molecular formula of Epinephrine be (C9H13O3N)n.

12x9n + 1x13n + 16x3n + 14n = 183

108n + 13n + 48n + 14n = 183

183 n = 183.

n = 1

Hence, the molecular formula is C9H13O3N.

What happens to valence electrons when a covalent bond forms?
abruzzese [7]

Explanation:

Covalent bonding occurs when pairs of electrons are shared by atoms. Atoms will covalently bond with other atoms in order to gain more stability, which is gained by forming a full electron shell. By sharing their outer most (valence) electrons, atoms can fill up their outer electron shell and gain stability

PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME WITH THIS!
Bad White [126]

Answer:

1) 1.202 L , 2) 1.291 dg , 3) 204.877  and 4) 1.04x10^{3\\}

Explanation:

You need to review about conversion factors and how to use them in the correct order. You can cancel the units and get the ones that you need if you use the appropriate conversion factors, remember is a number that you can use to multiply or divide.

For your exercise:

1) The conversion factor is: 1 L = 1000 mL

You will need to divide by 1000 mL to obtain liters L

1202.57120 mL x  \frac{1 L}{1000 mL} = 1.202 L

2) The conversion factor is: 1 g = 10 dg

0.1290743 g x \frac{10 dg}{ 1 g} = 1.291 dg

For the next exercises, you need to follow some rules:

1.  All numbers  that are different from Zero (non-zero digits) are significant figures.

2.The Zeros between non-zeros digits (Imbedded zeros) always are significant, 2007.

3. If you want to be specific and want some zeros to be significant you need to add a decimal point. For example 500. or 500.0

4. Leading zeros (to the left) are not significant.

5. Trailing zeros (zeros to the right) in a whole number without decimal point are not significant.

3) 843.062  - 638.1848  = 204.8772

Now if we round to 6 significant figures we get 204.877

4)123.0 x 8.43 = 1036.89

Now we round to 3 significant figures because 8.43 has the least significant figures.  

1.04x10^{3}
