Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

a) Nitrous oxide (N2O) has a molar mass of 44.014 amu. It has 2 nitrogen atoms each with a mass of 14.007 amu and 1 oxygen atom with a mass of 16.0 amu.

Percentage nitrogen = (2*14.007 amu/ 44.014 amu ) *100% = 63.6%

Percentage oxygen = (16 amu/44.014 amu) * 100% = 36.4 %

63.6% + 36.4% = 100%

b) Benzoic acid (C7H6O2) has a molar mass of 122.13 amu. It has 6 hydrogen atoms each with a mass of 1.01 amu; it has 7 carbon atoms each with a mass of 12.01amu and 2 oxygen atoms with a mass of 16.0 amu.

Percentage hydrogen = (6*1.01 amu / 122.13 amu)*100% = 4.96%

Percentage carbon = (7*12.01 amu/ 122.13 amu)*100% = 68.8%

Percentage oxygen = (2*16 amu/ 122.13 amu) *100% = 26.2%

c) Magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) has a molecular mass of 58.32 amu. It has 2 hydrogen atoms each with a mass of 1.01 amu; it has 1 magnesium atom with a mass of 24.3 amu and two oxygen atoms with a mass of 16.0 amu.

Percentage hydrogen = (2*1.01 amu/ 58.32 amu) *100% = 3.46 %

Percentage magnesium = (24.3 amu/58.32 amu)*100% = 41.7%

Percentage oxygen = (2*16 amu/58.32 amu)*100% = 54.9%

d) Urea CO(NH2)2 has a molecular mass of 60.064 amu. It has 2 Nitrogen atoms each with a mass of 14.007 amu, 4 hydrogen atoms each with a mass of 1.01 amu,1 carbon atom with a mass of 12.01 amu and 1 oxygen atom with a mass of 16.0 amu.

Percentage nitrogen = (2*14.007 amu/ 60.064amu)*100% = 46.6%

Percentage hydrogen = (4*1.01 amu/60.064amu)*100% = 6.72%

Percentage carbon = (12.01 amu/60.064amu)*100% = 20.0%

Percentage oxygen = (16 amu/60.064amu)*100% = 26.6%

e) Osopentyl acetate (C7H14O2) has a molecular mass of 130.2 amu. It has 14 hydrogen atoms each with a mass of 1.01 amu,7 carbon atoms each with a mass of 12.01 amu and 2 oxygen atom with a mass of 16.0 amu.

Percentage hydrogen = (14*1.01 amu/130.2 amu)*100% = 10.8%

Percentage carbon = (7*12.01 amu/130.2 amu)*100% = 64.6%

Percentage oxygen =(2*16 amu/130.2 amu)*100% = 24.6%

Hello people ~<br>(๑¯◡¯๑)how can we separate mercury and water?​
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

Explanation:

Sure you can - Mercury and water are both liquid at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. But Mercury is much much heavier or denser than water. So much that the two substances will not mix.  The lighter water can be separated by pouring it out while the heavy Mercury will stay in the bottom.

Answer:

Ferric chloride test

Explanation:

The ferric chloride test can be used to detect metabolites in urine in case of inborn error of metabolism such as phenylketonuria. Compounds such as phenylpyruvate increase in plasma and are excreted out via urine. Also, it can be used to detect salicylates in urine, quick diagnostic test for aspirin overdose.
