Answer:
1.18 moles of CS₂ are produced by the reaction.
Explanation:
We present the reaction:
5C + 2SO₂ → CS₂ + 4CO
5 moles of carbon react to 2 moles of sulfur dioxide in order to produce 1 mol of carbon disulfide and 4 moles of carbon monoxide.
As we do not have data from the SO₂, we assume this as the excess reagent. We convert the mass of carbon to moles:
70.8 g / 12 g/mol = 5.9 moles
Ratio is 5:1, so 5 moles of carbon react to produce 1 mol of CS₂
Then, 5.9 moles will produce (5.9 . 1) / 5 = 1.18 moles
You need to find the abundance. Then, multiply the abundance by 100, and add that to the mass for each isotope. Basically, for each isotope, take the percentage abundance and add it to the mass. Multiply each calculation of these together to get your average atomic mass,
Nucleic acids are hydrocarbons that also contain nitrogen, phosphorus and oxygen elements.
Hydrocarbons are long chains of carbon that have additional bonds exclusively with hydrogen atoms. They are hydrophobic, or not soluble in water. Nucleic acids are macromolecules that are made of units called nucleotides, they are mainly in two forms; the RNA and and the DNA. Both the RNA and DNA have a pentose sugar, a phosphate, and a nitrogen containing base.
