Monosodium glutamate (MSG), a flavor enhancer, has been blamed for "Chinese restaurant syndrome," the symptoms of which are head

aches and chest pains. MSG has the following composition by mass: 35.51 percent C, 4.77 percent H, 37.85 percent O, 8.29 percent N, and 13.60 percent Na. What is its molecular formula if its molar mass is about 169 g?

Answer:

The molecular formula of mono sodium glutamate is C_5H_8O_4N_1Na_1

Explanation:

Molar mass of sodium glutamate,M = 169 g/mol

let the molecular formula be C_aH_bO_cN_dNa_e

Percentage of carbon in the M.S.G. =35.52 %

35.51\%=\frac{a\times 12 g/mol}{169 g/mol}

a = 5

Percentage of Hydrogen in the M.S.G. = 4.77 %

4.77\%=\frac{b\times 1 g/mol}{169 g/mol}

b = 8

Percentage of oxygen in the M.S.G. =37.85 %

8.29\%=\frac{c\times 16 g/mol}{169 g/mol}

c = 3.99 ≈ 4

Percentage of nitrogen in the M.S.G. = 8.29 %

4.77\%=\frac{d\times 14 g/mol}{169 g/mol}

d = 1

Percentage of sodium in the M.S.G. =13.60 %

13.60\%=\frac{c\times 23g/mol}{169 g/mol}

e = 0.99 ≈ 1

The molecular formula be :C_aH_bO_cN_dNa_e=C_5H_8O_4N_1Na_1

Over a long period of time, an igneous rock changes into a sedimentary rock. Which of these actions must have affected the igneo
Alla [95]

Answer: The actions that must have affected the igneous rock in order to form the sedimentary rock is that (It must have been broken down into sediments).

Explanation:

Rocks are solid structures that occurs naturally which is made up of different minerals. There are three main types of rocks, these includes:

--> METAMORPHIC ROCKS: These are the type of rocks which are formed by temperature and pressure changes inside the Earth.

--> SEDIMENTARY ROCKS: these rocks are usually formed from pre-existing rocks through the process of weathering (breaking down) of rocks.

--> IGNEOUS ROCKS: these rocks are formed when molten magma cools beneath or above the earth surface.

The actions that must have affected the igneous rock in order to form the sedimentary rock is that the igneous rocks are broken down into smaller pieces by erosion and weathering processes. Sediments which are formed accumulates at the earth surface. Over a long period of time, these sediments builds successive layers on top of one another. The sediments near the base hardens to form sedimentary rocks. This justifies the statement as a correct option (It must have been broken down into sediments).

7. Calculate the amount of energy required heat 100.g to <br> H2O(s) changes to H2O(l) at 0°C
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

33300J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of ice  = 100g

Unknown:

Amount of energy = ?

Solution:

This is a phase change process from solid to liquid. In this case, the latent heat of melting of ice is 3.33 x 10⁵ J/kg.

 So;

            H  = mL

m is the mass

L is the latent heat of melting ice

  Now, insert the parameters and solve;

            H = mL

 mass from gram to kilogram;

            100g gives 0.1kg

  H = 0.1 x 3.33 x 10⁵ = 33300J
