Answer:

see calculations in explanation

Explanation:

percent = part/total x 100%

part = ∑ atomic mass of element

hydrogen = 1.008 amu (atomic mass units)
carbon = 12.011 amu
nitrogen = 14.007 amu

total = ∑ molecular mass of compound

= H amu + C amu + Namu

= 1.008 amu + 12.011 amu + 14.007 amu

= 27.026 amu

%H = (1.008amu/27.026amu)100% = 3.730%

%C = (12.011amu/27.026amu)100% = 44.442%

%N = (14.007amu/27.026amu)100% = 51.827%

Check results ∑%values = 100%

3.730% + 44.442% + 51.827% = 99.999% ≅ 100%

A student placed 18.5 g of glucose (C6H12O6) in a volumetric flask, added enough water to dissolve the glucose by swirling, then

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

1.30464 grams of glucose was present in 100.0 mL of final solution.

Explanation:

$Molarity=\frac{moles}{\text{Volume of solution(L)}}$

Moles of glucose = $\frac{18.5 g}{180 g/mol}=0.1028 mol$

Volume of the solution = 100 mL = 0.1 L (1 mL = 0.001 L)

Molarity of the solution = $\frac{0.1028 mol}{0.1 L}=1.028 mol/L$

A 30.0 mL sample of above glucose solution was diluted to 0.500 L:

Molarity of the solution before dilution = $M_1=1.208 mol$

Volume of the solution taken = $V_1=30.0 mL$

Molarity of the solution after dilution = $M_2$

Volume of the solution after dilution= $V_2=0.500L = 500 mL$

$M_1V_1=M_2V_2$

$M_2=\frac{M_1V_1}{V_2}=\frac{1.208 mol/L\times 30.0 mL}{500 mL}$

$M_2=0.07248 mol/L$

Mass glucose are in 100.0 mL of the 0.07248 mol/L glucose solution:

Volume of solution = 100.0 mL = 0.1 L

$0.07248 mol/L=\frac{\text{moles of glucose}}{0.1 L}$

Moles of glucose = $0.07248 mol/L\times 0.1 L=0.007248 mol$

Mass of 0.007248 moles of glucose :

0.007248 mol × 180 g/mol = 1.30464 grams

1.30464 grams of glucose was present in 100.0 mL of final solution.

What is nuclear fusion what role does it play in the sun

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Nuclear fusion is when two atomic nuclei combine and form one nucleus. Nuclear fusion generates all of the Sun's energy. Inward pulling by the Sun's gravity is counteracted by outward pushing by the Sun's nuclear fusion; this balance keeps the sun from collapsing or exploding.

Why does a red object appear red?

NeTakaya

Answer:

Objects appear different colours because they absorb some colours (wavelengths) and reflected or transmit other colours. ... For example, a red shirt looks red because the dye molecules in the fabric have absorbed the wavelengths of light from the violet/blue end of the spectrum
