The mathematical expression for mass percent is given by:

Mass percent = \frac{mass of the compound}{molar mass of the compound}\times 100

Put the values,

0.218 percent of zinc = \frac{mass of zinc}{3.00 \times 10^{4} g/mol}\times 100

mass of zinc = 0.218 \times (3\times 100) g

= 0.654 \times 100 g or 65.4 g

Now, number of moles of zinc  =\frac{given mass in g}{molar mass of zinc}

= \frac{65.4 g}{65.38 g/mol}

= 1.00 mole

Number of atoms of zinc is calculated by the Avogadro number.

Now, according to mole concept

6.022\times 10^{23} molecules of enzyme consists of 6.022\times 10^{23} atoms of zinc

So, 1 molecule of enzyme contains  =\frac{6.022\times 10^{23}atoms of zinc}{6.022\times 10^{23} }

= 1 atom of zinc.

Hence, every carbonic anhydrase molecule consists of 1 atom of zinc.

How many hydrogen grams can be obtained if
kipiarov [429]

hi im breanna

Answer:

The mole is simply a very large number that is used by chemists as a unit of measurement.

Explanation:

The mole is simply a very large number,  

6.022

×

10

23

, that has a special property. If I have  

6.022

×

10

23

hydrogen atoms, I have a mass of 1 gram of hydrogen atoms . If I have  

6.022

×

10

23

 

H

2

molecules, I have a mass of 2 gram of hydrogen molecules. If I have  

6.022

×

10

23

 

C

atoms, I have (approximately!) 12 grams.

The mole is thus the link between the micro world of atoms and molecules, and the macro world of grams and litres, the which we can easily measure by mass or volume. The masses for a mole of each element are given on the periodic table as the atomic weight. So, if have 12 g of  

C

, I know, fairly precisely, how many atoms of carbon I have. Given this quantity, I know how many molecules of  

O

2

are required to react with the  

C

, which I could measure by mass or by volume.

The concentration of sugar in Coke is approximately 10%, or 100 ppt. If you drink
masya89 [10]

Answer:

35.5g of sugar

Explanation:

To solve this question we must assume the density of coke = Density of water = 1g/mL

Thus, in a single can of coke, the mass is 355g. Now, the 10% of this coke is sugar. That means the amount of sugar you are consuming is:

355g * (10/100) = 35.5g of sugar

<em>10/100 = 10%</em>

The equilibrium constant for the reaction
Hitman42 [59]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

The equilibrium constant for the reaction

N₂O₄(g)⇌2NO₂ at 2°C is Kc = 2.0

If each yellow sphere represents 1 mol of N₂O₄(g) and each gray sphere 1 mol of NO₂ which of the following 1.0 L containers represents the equilibrium mixture at 2°C?

The image is attached below.

<u>Answer:</u> The system which represents the equilibrium having value of K_c=2.0 is system (b)

<u>Explanation:</u>

Equilibrium constant in terms of concentration is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric ratios. It is expressed as K_c

For a general chemical reaction:

aA+bB\rightarrow cC+dD

The expression for K_{c} is written as:

K_{c}=\frac{[C]^c[D]^d}{[A]^a[B]^b}

For the given chemical equation:

N_2O_4(g)\rightleftharpoons 2NO_2

The expression of K_c for above equation follows:

K_c=\frac{[NO_2]^2}{[N_2O_4]}      .......(1)

We are given:

Volume of the container = 1.0 L

Value of K_c = 2.0

Molarity of the substance is calculated by using the equation:

\text{Molarity}=\frac{\text{Number of moles}}{\text{Volume}}

For the given images:

  • <u>For a:</u>

Number of Gray spheres = 8 moles

Number of yellow spheres = 4 moles

Putting values in expression 1, we get:

K_c=\frac{(8/1)^2}{(4/1)}\\\\K_c=16

  • <u>For b:</u>

Number of Gray spheres = 4 moles

Number of yellow spheres = 8 moles

Putting values in expression 1, we get:

K_c=\frac{(4/1)^2}{(8/1)}\\\\K_c=2

  • <u>For c:</u>

Number of Gray spheres = 6 moles

Number of yellow spheres = 6 moles

Putting values in expression 1, we get:

K_c=\frac{(6/1)^2}{(6/1)}\\\\K_c=6

  • <u>For d:</u>

Number of Gray spheres = 2 moles

Number of yellow spheres = 8 moles

Putting values in expression 1, we get:

K_c=\frac{(2/1)^2}{(8/1)}\\\\K_c=\frac{1}{2}

Hence, the system which represents the equilibrium having value of K_c=2.0 is system (b)

How many moles of nacl are required to make 250 ml of a 3.00 m solution?
choli [55]
The molarity is calculated using the following rule:
molarity = number of moles of solvent / volume of solution (in liters)

We have the volume of solution = 250 ml = 0.25 liters and the molarity = 3 m

Substituting in the equation, we get:
3 = number of moles / 0.25
number of moles = 3 x 0.25 = 0.75 moles
