<u>Answer:</u> The mass percentage of carbon element is 63.57 %, hydrogen element is 5.96 %, nitrogen element is 9.28 % and oxygen element is 21.19 %

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

A chemical compound having chemical formula of C_8H_9NO_2. This compound is made by the combination of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen elements.

1 mole of acetaminophen contains 8 moles of carbon atom, 9 moles of hydrogen atom, 1 mole of nitrogen atom and 2 moles of oxygen atom

Mass of carbon element = (8\times 12)=96g/mol

Mass of hydrogen element = (9\times 1)=9g/mol

Mass of nitrogen element = (1\times 14)=14g/mol

Mass of oxygen element = (2\times 16)=32g/mol

Mass of the compound = 151 g/mol

To calculate the percentage composition of an element in a compound, we use the equation:

\%\text{ composition of an element}=\frac{\text{Mass of element}}{\text{Mass of compound}}\times 100      ........(1)

  • <u>For carbon element:</u>

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\% \text{ composition of carbon element}=\frac{96}{151}\times 100\\\\\% \text{ composition of carbon element}=63.57\%

  • <u>For hydrogen element:</u>

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\% \text{ composition of hydrogen element}=\frac{9}{151}\times 100\\\\\% \text{ composition of hydrogen element}=5.96\%

  • <u>For nitrogen element:</u>

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\% \text{ composition of nitrogen element}=\frac{14}{151}\times 100\\\\\% \text{ composition of nitrogen element}=9.28\%

  • <u>For oxygen element:</u>

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\% \text{ composition of oxygen element}=\frac{32}{151}\times 100\\\\\% \text{ composition of oxygen element}=21.19\%

Hence, the mass percentage of carbon element is 63.57 %, hydrogen element is 5.96 %, nitrogen element is 9.28 % and oxygen element is 21.19 %

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer: Molarity of MgCl_2 in the original sample was 1.96M

Explanation:

Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of the solution.

Molarity=\frac{\text{no of moles}}{\text{Volume in L}}

{\text {moles of solute}=\frac{\text {given mass}}{\text {molar mass}}=\frac{186g}{95g/mol}=1.96

Now put all the given values in the formula of molarity, we get

Molarity=\frac{1.96}{1.00L}

Molarity=1.96mol/L

Thus molarity of MgCl_2 in the original sample was 1.96M
