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

How many molecules are in 48 grams of oxygen gas?
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

Since oxygen (O) has an atomic mass of 16 g, oxygen gas (O2) has a molecular mass of 2 x 16 = 32 g. We need to convert the given amount of oxygen gas to moles and this can be done by dividing the given mass by the molecular weight of oxygen gas. Hence, moles of oxygen gas = 48 g / 32 g/mole = 1.5 moles.

In which of the following is number of electrons the ion contains given correctly? A. H+ has 1 electron. B. Br- has 34 electrons
Leviafan [203]
The correct answer would be D. Ca^2+ has 18 electrons. This is because 2+ means that 2 electrons have been removed, and Ca starts out with 20 electrons. As 20 - 2 = 18 electrons, D is the correct answer.

Hope this helps!

What property of a liquid is used when petrol, ( gasoline) is pumped from the tank to the engine of a car? I need answers!!!!
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
In many modern cars the fuel pump is usually electric and located inside the fuel tank. The pump creates positive pressure in the fuel lines, pushing the gasoline to the engine. The higher gasoline pressure raises the boiling point.
