<u>Answer:</u> The mass of carbon in given amount of carvone is 47.52 grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}     .....(1)

Given mass of carvone = 55.4 g

Molar mass of carvone = 150.22 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of carvone}=\frac{55.4g}{150.22g/mol}=0.369mol

The chemical formula of carvone is C_{10}H_{14}O

This contains 10 moles of carbon atom, 14 moles of hydrogen atom and 1 mole  of oxygen atom

Now, calculating the mass of carbon in carvone from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of carbon = 12 g/mol

Moles of carbon = (10 × 0.396) = 3.96 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

3.96mol=\frac{\text{Mass of carbon}}{12g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of carbon}=(3.96mol\times 12g/mol)=47.52g

Hence, the mass of carbon in given amount of carvone is 47.52 grams

What volume does 4.24g of argon gas occupy at 58.2 degrees celcuis and 1528torr
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

V = 1.434 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of argon = 4.24 g

Temperature = 58.2 °C

Pressure = 1528 torr

Volume = ?

Solution:

58.2 °C = 58.2 + 273 = 331.2 K

1528/760= 2.01 atm

<em>Number of moles:</em>

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 4.24 g / 39.948 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.106 mol

<em>Volume:</em>

PV = nRT

V = nRT/P

V =  0.106 mol ×0.0821. atm. L. mol⁻¹. K⁻¹ × 331.2K/ 2.01 atm

V = 2.88 atm L/ 2.01 atm

V = 1.434 L

C-12 and C-13 are naturally-occurring isotopes of the element carbon. C-12 occurs 98.88% of the time and C-13 occurs 1.108% of t
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

c) (12×0.9889) + (13×0.01108)

Explanation:

Given data:

Percentage of C-12 = 98.89%

Percentage of C-13 = 1.108%

Atomic mass = ?

Solution:

98.89/100 = 0.9889

1.108/ 100 = 0.01108

Atomic mass = (12×0.9889) + (13×0.01108)

Atomic mass = (11.8668 + 0.144034)

Atomic mass = 12.01084

How does a allergy develop?<br><br><br> PLEASE HELP!
Nikolay [14]
Allergies arise when a foreign material such as pollen, bee venom or pet dander responds to your immune system or a food that in most people does not cause a reaction. Substances known as antibodies are formed by your immune system.
