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

DerKrebs [107]
There are many ways renewable energy can power a car. The most popular renewable energy that powers cars are electric cars. They run on battery and need to be charged. They are very eco-friendly and don't produce as many greenhouse gases. There are also some cars that run on solar energy which is energy from the sun. 

For the electric car, an electric motor would be needed also a large battery. 
For the solar-powered car, you would need solar panel and the sun's energy. 

The electric car would need charging to be on the road for long. 
The solar-powered car would need backup when the sun goes down.

Write the chemical equation of in elements
Scilla [17]

Answer : The balanced chemical reaction will be:

CuO+H_2SO_4\rightarrow CuSO_4+H_2O

Explanation :

As per question when copper(II) oxide react with sulfuric acid then it gives copper(II) sulfate and water.

This reaction is known as double displacement reaction in which cation of two reactants exchange their places to give two different products.

The balanced chemical reaction will be:

CuO+H_2SO_4\rightarrow CuSO_4+H_2O
