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%.

Pls help me I don’t know what to dooooo

Molarity = moles of solute/volume of solution in liters.

The solute here is NaCl, of which we have 46.5 g. To calculate the molarity of an NaCl solution, we need to know the number of moles of NaCl. To convert from grams to moles, we divide the mass by the molar mass of NaCl. The molar mass of NaCl is the sum of the atomic masses of Na and Cl: 23 amu + 35 amu = 58 amu. For our purposes, we can regard amu as equivalent to grams/mole.

(46.5 g)/(58 g/mol) = 0.8017 moles NaCl.

Now that we know both the number of moles of our NaCl solute and the volume of the solution, we can calculate the molarity:

(0.8017 moles NaCl)/(2.2 L) = 0.364 M.
