Answer:

The mass number of an isotope is the sum of neutrons and protons.

Explanation:

In any elemental isotope, the only things that will affect molar mass and mass number is the number of protons and neutrons. Electrons are not counted because we usually assume they are equal to the amount of protons and have no weight.

Protons are what gives the element its atomic number and the neutrons determine the type of isotope it is within the element.

For instance:

There can be a regular Carbon - 12

But there are isotopes like Carbon - 13 and Carbon - 14.

*The number of protons stays the same but the number of neutrons are different

Epinephrine (adrenaline) is a hormone secreted into the bloodstream in times of stress. It contains 59.0% C, 7.15% H, 26.20% O,
vichka [17]

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 is one characteristic of a rain forest?
Svetradugi [14.3K]
Different layers makes the most sense due to the fact it can’t be a dry climate because of the vegetation, also there is a lot of plants so minimal plants isn’t an option, and the temperature in a rain forest is usually very humid so cold temperatures can’t be an answer.
