Monosodium glutamate (NaC5H8NO4) is used extensively as a flavor enhancer what is its percent composition

Chemistry

Answer:

% sodium= 13.6 % sodium

% carbon= 35.5 % carbon

% hydrogen= 4.7% hydrogen

% nitrogen = 8.3% nitrogen

% oxygen = 37.8 % oxygen

Explanation:

To find its percent composition means that we are to find to find the percentage of each of the constituents of the compound present.

The molar mass of monosodium glutamate is 169.11 gmol-1

Hence;

Percent of sodium= 23 gmol-1/169.11 gmol-1 × 100 = 13.6 % sodium

Percent of Carbon= 60 gmol-1/169.11 gmol-1 ×100 = 35.5 % carbon

Percent of hydrogen= 8/169.11 gmol-1 ×100 = 4.7% hydrogen

Percent nitrogen = 14/169.11 gmol-1 × 100 = 8.3% nitrogen

Percent oxygen = 64/169.11 gmol-1 ×100 = 37.8 % oxygen

Assuming a 100% dissociation, what is the freezing point and boiling point of 2.59 m K3PO4(aq).
liubo4ka [24]
Assuming 100% dissociation of K3PO4 you get each molecule of K3 PO4 dissociates into four particles: 3 K4 cations and 1 PO4 - anion. That means that Van't Hoff factor, i, is 4. i = 4. So, the decrease in freezing point of the water solution is Delta Tf = i * Kf * m. Where Kf is the molal cryoscopic constant of water = 1.86 °C /m; and the molality m = 2.59 m => Delta Tf = 4 * 1.86 °C / m * 2.59 m = 19.3 °C. And the freezing point is the normal freezing points less 19.3°C = 0°C - 19.3°C = - 19.3°C. The increase in the boiling point Delta Tb = i * kb * m = 4 * 0.512 °C /m * 2.59 m = 5.3°C => <span>Tb = normal boiling point + 5.3°C = 100°C + 5.3°C = 105.3°C.</span>

The term “electricity” in referring to static electricity, means what
sladkih [1.3K]
Is an imbalance of electric charges within or on the surface of a material. The charge remains until it is able to move away by means of an electric current or electrical discharge. Static electricity is named in contrast with current electricity, which flows through wires or other conductors and transmits energy.[1]
