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

What volume of a concentrated HCl solution, which is 36.0% HCl by mass and has a density of 1.179 g/mL, should be used to make 5
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

The volume we need is 8.89 mL

Explanation:

We analyse data:

36 % by mass → 36 g of HCl in 100 g of solution

Solution's density = 1.179 g/mL

5.20L → Volume of diluted density

pH = 1.70 → [H⁺] = 10⁻¹'⁷⁰ = 0.0199 M

 HCl    →       H⁺     +    Cl⁻

                 0.0199

pH can gives the information of protons concentrations, so as ratio is 1:1, 0.0199 M is also the molar concentration of HCl

Let's verify the molar concentration of the concentrated solution:

We convert the mass to moles: 36 g / 36.45 g/mol = 0.987 moles

As the solution mass is 100 g, we apply density to find out the volume:

Density = Mass / volume → Volume = Mass / Density

Volume = 100 g / 1.179 g/mL → 84.8 mL

Let's convert the volume from mL to L in order to define molarity

84.8 mL . 1L/ 1000mL = 0.0848 L

Molarity → 0.987 mol / 0.0848L = 11.6M

Let's apply the dilution formula:

M concentrated . V concentrated = M diluted . V diluted

11.6 M . V concentrated = 0.0199M . 5.20L

V concentrated = (0.0199M . 5.20L) / 11.6M → 8.89×10⁻³L

We can say, that the volume we need is 8.89 mL
