The chemical formula of hydrocortisone valerate is C26H38O6. First, we determine the molar mass of the substance by adding up all the products of the number of atoms and the molar mass of atoms as shown below.
                        molar mass = 26(12) + 38(1) + 6(16) = 446 g/mol
Since, there are 26 atoms of carbon in each molecule, the mass of carbon in each mole is 
                     mass of carbon = (26)(12) = 312
Obtaining the percent by mass of carbon,
                           % by mass of carbon = (312/446) x 100 % 
                                                                 = 69.955%
Thus, the percent by mass of carbon in hydrocortisone valerate is approximately 69.96%.

When CO2 and H2O react to form H2CO3, the number of bonds broken in H2O is ____ and in CO2 is _____. one; one
guapka [62]

CO2 and H2O react to form H2CO3 and two bonds are broken each in CO and H2O to form H2CO3.

<h3>What is chemical bonding?</h3>

Chemical bonding refers to the forces of attraction which hold atoms of the same or different elements together in order to form stable compounds or molecules .

Chemical bonding may be either ionic or covalent.

The greater the number of bonds in a compound, the more stable the compound.

During chemical reactions, bonds are broken and new binds are formed.

There are two bonds each in CO2 and H2O.

This, in the reaction between CO2 and H2O react to form H2CO3, , the number of bonds broken in H2O is two and in CO2 is two.

Calculate the molecular weight of a substance. In which the solution of this substance in the water has a concentration of 7 per
Eduardwww [97]

Answer : The molecular weight of a substance is 157.3 g/mol

Explanation :

As we are given that 7 % by weight that means 7 grams of solute present in 100 grams of solution.

Mass of solute = 7 g

Mass of solution = 100 g

Mass of solvent = 100 - 7 = 93 g

Formula used :  

\Delta T_f=i\times K_f\times m\\\\T_f^o-T_f=k_f\times\frac{\text{Mass of substance(solute)}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of substance(solute)}\times \text{Mass of water(solvent)}}

where,

\Delta T_f = change in freezing point

T_f^o = temperature of pure water = 0^oC

T_f = temperature of solution = -0.89^oC

K_f = freezing point constant of water = 1.86^oC/m

m = molality

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get

(0-(-0.89))^oC=1.86^oC/m\times \frac{7g\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of substance(solute)}\times 93g}

\text{Molar mass of substance(solute)}=157.3g/mol

Therefore, the molecular weight of a substance is 157.3 g/mol
