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%.

How many moles of a gas would occupy 11.4 L at 273K and 2.00 atm?
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

1.02mol

Explanation:

Using the general gas equation below;

PV = nRT

Where;

P = pressure (atm)

V = volume (L)

n = number of moles (mol)

R = gas law constant (0.0821 Latm/molK)

T = temperature (K)

According to the information provided in this question,

P = 2.0 atm

V = 11.4L

T = 273K

n = ?

Using PV = nRT

n = PV/RT

n = 2 × 11.4/ 0.0821 × 273

n = 22.8/22.41

n = 1.017

n = 1.02mol

Determine the mass in grams of 3.75 x 10^21 atoms of zinc. (the mass of one mole of zinc is 65.39 g)
Nastasia [14]

Answer: The mass in 3.75 \times 10^{21} atoms of zinc is 0.405 g.

Explanation:

Given: Atoms of zinc = 3.75 \times 10^{21}

It is known that 1 mole of every substance contains 6.022 \times 10^{23} atoms. So, the number of moles in given number of atoms is as follows.

Moles = \frac{3.75 \times 10^{21}}{6.022 \times 10^{23}}\\= 0.622 \times 10^{-2}\\= 0.0062 mol

As moles is the mass of a substance divided by its molar mass. So, mass of zinc (molar mass = 65.39 g/mol) is calculated as follows.

Moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}\\0.0062 mol = \frac{mass}{65.39 g}\\mass = 0.405 g

Thus, we can conclude that the mass in 3.75 \times 10^{21} atoms of zinc is 0.405 g.
