- Which molecule has a molecular mass of 28.05 amu?arrow_forward3.95 Cumene is a hydrocarbon, meaning that it contains only carbon and hydrogen. If this compound is 89.94% C by mass and its molar mass is 120.2 g/mol, what is its molecular formula?arrow_forwardThe structure of one of the bases in DNA, adenine, is shown here. Which represents the greater mass: 40.0 g of adenine or 3.0 1023 molecules of the compound?arrow_forward
- Chlorine exists mainly as two isotopes, 37Cl and 33Cl. Which is more abundant? How do you know?arrow_forward3.123 Most periodic tables provide molar masses with four or five significant figures for the elements. How accurately would you have to measure the mass of a sample of roughly 100 g to make a calculation of the number of moles of the chemical to have its significant figures limited by the molar mass calculation rather than the mass measurement?arrow_forwardNitrogen fixation in the root nodules of peas and other legumes occurs with a reaction involving a molybdenum-containing enzyme named nitrogenase. This enzyme contains two Mo atoms per molecule and is 0.0872% Mo by mass. Calculate the molar mass of the enzyme.arrow_forward
- (b) The number of moles of potassium that contains 8.93 × 1025 atoms. x 10 molarrow_forwardThe chlorophyll-a molecule (C55H72MgN4O5) is important in photosynthesis. (a) Determine its molecular mass (in atomic mass units). (b) What is the mass (in grams) of 4.20 moles of chlorophyll-a molecules?arrow_forwardAllyl sulfide gives garlic its characteristic odor.Calculate (a) the mass in grams of 2.63 mol of allyl sulfide;(b) the number of carbon atoms in 35.7 g of allyl sulfide.arrow_forward
