Answer: 568g/mol

Explanation:

It should be noted that there are 40 atoms of carbon in lycopene.

Since mass of 1 carbon = 12g/mol

Mass of 40 carbon atoms = 40 × 12g/mol = 480g/mol

Let the molar mass of lycopene be represented by x.

Therefore the molar mass of carbon = x × mass percent of carbon in lycopene

x × 84.49% = 480g/mol

x × 0.8449 = 480g/mol

x = 480/0.8449

x = 568g/mol

The molar mass of lycopene is 568g/mol

What experimental evidence led to the development of this atomic model
Yanka [14]
Rutherford’s experimental evidence led to the development of this atomic model from the one before it . According to him , a few of the positive particles pointed at a gold foil appeared to ricochet back off of the light metallic foil. This experimental evidence gives the root the development of the atomic model .

How toxic is uranium
Serhud [2]

Answer:

Inhaling large concentrations of uranium can cause lung cancer from the exposure to alpha particles. Uranium is also a toxic chemical, meaning that ingestion of uranium can cause kidney damage from its chemical properties much sooner than its radioactive properties would cause cancers of the bone or liver.

Answer:

Copper(II) sulphate – sodium hydroxide reaction

The reaction between copper(Il) sulphate and sodium hydroxide solutions is a good place to start. If you slowly add one to the other while stirring, you will get a precipitate of copper(II) hydroxide, Cu(OH)2.
