We add up all the various atoms:
C: 55
H: 72
Mg: 1
N: 4
O: 5

55 + 72 + 1 + 4 + 5
= 137

The answer is B.

molecular formula is the acutal composition of the components making up the compound

chlorophyll a molecular formula is - C₅₅H₇₂MgN₄O₅

so we have to find how many atoms are in 1 molecule

for this we have to add all the atoms of each element making up this 1 molecule

number of atoms of each element

C - 55

H - 72

Mg - 1

N - 4

O - 5

the sum of all the atoms - 55 + 72 + 1 + 4 + 6 = 138

answer is C ) 138

What is the answer to...
adoni [48]

Answer: short answer short 0.65 / 5.37

15% NaOH by mass is 15g of NaOH in (100-15)g of solution.

No. Of moles of NaOH in solution = 0.65

No of moles of Water in solution = 4.72

Mole Fraction =  

(

(Moles of Solvent)

(Moles Of Solute)+(Moles of Solvent)

)

OR

(

(Moles of Solvent)

Total Number Of Moles

)

= 0.65 / 5.37

= 0.121

Explanation:

Hope this helped

Differentiate between a single atom of gold and a single atom of lead. <br> (No Multiple Choice)
tatyana61 [14]
Lead has a different chemistry than most biological metals, but it can mimic some of them, such as calcium, iron, and zinc, because it tends to form 2+ ion like other metals, and these can be formed inside the body. Due to it different chemistry, lead prevents normal functioning of the enzymes it binds to, inhibiting them and poisoning the body.


Gold rarely forms ions, unless under extreme conditions that are not present in the human body. Gold ions, when ingested, are actually very toxic, so gold poisoning is possible. But because gold are so rare, gold poisoning is also a rare phenomenon.

Determine the percent yield of a reaction that produces 28.65 g of Fe when 50.00 g of Fe2O3 react with excess Al according to th
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

The percent yield of the reaction is 82%

Explanation:

First step: make the chemist equation.

2 Al (s) + Fe2O3 (s) → 2 Fe (s) + Al2O3 (s)

As the statement says that aluminun is in excess, the limiting reactant is the Fe2O3

Second step: Find out the moles in the reactant.

Molar weight Fe2O3: 159.7 g/m

Mass / Molar weight = moles

50 g /159.7 g/m = 0.313 moles

Third step: Analyse the reaction. 1 mol of Fe2O3 makes 2 moles of Fe.

1 mol Fe2O3 ____ 2Fe

0.313 mol Fe2O3 ____ 0.626 moles

Molar weight Fe = 55.85 g/m

Moles . molar weight = mass

55.85g/m . 0.626m = 34.9 grams

This will be the 100% yield of the reaction but we only made 28.65 g

34.9 g ____ 100%

28.65 g ____ 82.09 %
