Be sure to answer all parts. For many years chloroform (CHCI3) was used as an inhalation anesthetic in spite of the fact that it is also a toxic substance that may cause severe liver, kidney, and heart damage. Calculate the percent composition by mass of this compound to four significant figures. The following molar masses should be used in your calculation: H=1.008 g/mol, C= 12.01 g/mol, Cl= 35.45 g/mol. % C % H % CI

Chlorophyll molecules are responsible for the green pigmentation of plants. Differing chemically isolated molecular chlorophyll compounds are named as "Chlorophyll X" (where "X" is a variable denoting the actual molecular fragments which are represented by the labels R2, R3, R7, Rg, R17). Suppose one molecule of ChlorophyllX contains 5 oxygen atoms, and Chlorophyll X is 13.14 % oxygen by weight. Using only this information and the atomic mass of oxygen, determine the molecular mass of Chlorophyll X. The Chlorophyll X molecule contains one magnesium atom. What mass of magnesium is found in 7.11 g of Chlorophyll X compound?
The compound 2,3−dimercaptopropanol (HSCH2CHSHCH2OH), commonly known as British anti-Lewisite (BAL), was developed during World War I as an antidote to arsenic-containing poison gas. (a) If each BAL molecule binds one arsenic (As) atom, how many As atoms can be removed by 3.6 g of BAL? Enter your answer in scientific notation. (b) BAL can also be used to remove poisonous heavy metals like mercury (Hg) and lead (Pb). If each BAL binds one Hg atom, calculate the mass percent of Hg in a BAL-Hg complex.
