Answer:
0.252 milimoles
Explanation:
To convert mass of a substance to moles it is necessary to use the molar mass of the substance.
The formula of morphine is C₁₇H₁₉NO₃, thus, its molar mass is:
C: 17*12.01g/mol = 204.17g/mol
H: 19*1.01g/mol = 19.19g/mol
N: 1*14g/mol = 14g/mol
O: 3*16g/mol = 48g/mol.
204.17 + 19.19 + 14 + 16 = <em>285.36g/mol</em>
Thus, moles of 71.891 mg = 0.071891g:
0.071891g × (1mol / 285.36g) = 2.5193x10⁻⁴ moles
As 1 mole = 1000 milimoles:
2.5193x10⁻⁴ moles = <em>0.252 milimoles</em>
I think because each element has its own number of protons and neutrons, giving it its own atomic number and mass (correct me if I’m wrong please)
The biological compounds that are nonpolar and insoluble in water are lipids. It is a group of molecules that are naturally occurring which includes sterols, waxes, fats, fat-soluble vitamins and the like. These molecules are nonpolar molecules so basically the cannot be dissolved in a polar solvent like water.
