Chemistry

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%.

Hey there!

3d band can hold as many as 10 electrons, while 4s can bear as many as two electrons.

The maximum number of electrons for this composite band should be 12 electrons.

Hope that helps!

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

6

Explanation:

To determine the number of neutrons we round 10.8 to 11 and subtract the atomic number (5) and get 6; therefore, boron has 6 neutrons.
