Answer: The coefficient of nitrogen in the given equation is 2.

Explanation: The reaction for the oxidation of methamphentamine with oxygen gas in the body is given by:

4C_{10}H_{15}N(s)+55O_2(g)\rightarrow 40CO_2(g)+30H_2O(l)+2N_2(g)

By Stoichiometry,

4 moles of methamphentamine reacts with 55 moles of oxygen gas to produce 40 moles of carbon dioxide gas, 30 moles of water and 2 moles of nitrogen gas.

Coefficient of C_{10}H_{15}N=4

Coefficient of O_2=55

Coefficient of CO_2=40

Coefficient of H_2O=30

Coefficient of N_2=2

Hence, the coefficient of nitrogen in the given equation is 2.

A solution was prepared by mixing 50.0 g
frez [133]

Answer:

4.78 %.

Explanation:

<em>mass percent is the ratio of the mass of the solute to the mass of the solution multiplied by 100.</em>

<em></em>

<em>mass % = (mass of solute/mass of solution) x 100.</em>

<em></em>

mass of MgSO₄ = 50.0 g,

mass of water = d.V = (0.997 g/mL)(1000.0 mL) = 997.0 g.

mass of the solution = mass of water + mass of MgSO₄ = 997.0 g + 50.0 g = 1047.0 g.

<em>∴ mass % = (mass of solute/mass of solution) x 100</em> = (50.0 g/1047.0 g) x 100 = <em>4.776 % ≅ 4.78 %.</em>
