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

Chemistry
1 answer:
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]3 years ago
3 0

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

A balloon contains 11.1 g of nitrogen monoxide gas (NO). how many molecules are in the balloon?
grandymaker [24]

The number of molecules that are in balloon are = 2.227 x10^23 molecules

<h3> calculation</h3>

calculate the number of moles of NO

moles = mass/molar mass

molar mass  of NO = 14+ 16 = 30 g/mol

moles is therefore=  11.1 g/30g/mol= 0.37 moles

by use of Avogadro's constant that is

                                     1 mole= 6.02 x10^23  molecules

                                          0.37 =? molecules

=(6.02 x10^23 x  0.37 moles)/ 1mole=2.227 x10^23 molecules

Consider the following equilibrium: 2SO2(g) + O2(g) 2SO3(g) Which of the following is a correct equilibrium expression?
Taya2010 [7]
The correct equilibrium expression would be one that has products over reactants, and to the power of their stoichiometric coefficient. Also, it would not include any liquids or solids.

The equilibrium expression for your balanced reaction is:
\Large K_c = \sf{\frac{[SO_3]^2_{equil}}{[SO_2]^2_{equil}[O_2]^2_{equil}}
