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%.

What happens to an atom if it loses an electron?
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

When an atom loses electron(s) it will lose some of its negative charge and so becomes positively charged. A positive ion is formed where an atom has more protons than electrons. In the opposite case when an atom gains electron(s) it becomes negatively charged (more electrons than protons).

All elements are made up of atoms. ➢ Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Two different kinds of atoms can combine to form a compound. A molecule is a combination of atoms that cannot be broken apart while still retaining the same properties as the larger substance that it is a part of.
