(c) theobromine, C7H8N4O2, the alkaloid present in chocolate and cocoa.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_forwardExpress the composition of each of the following compounds as the mass percents of its elements. a. formaldehyde, CH2O b. glucose, C6H12O6 c. acetic acid, HC2H3O2arrow_forward
- Given that the density of argon is 1.78 g/L under standard conditions of temperature and pressure, how many argon atoms are present in a room with dimensions 4.0 m 5.0 m 2.4 m that is filled with pure argon under these conditions of temperature and pressure?arrow_forward1. Which of the following hydrocarbons has the highest mass percentage of carbon? methane, CH4 ethane, C2H6 propane, C3H8 butane, C4H10arrow_forwardChalky, white crystals in mineral collections are often labeled borax, which has the molecular formula Na2B4O7 10H2O, when actually they are partially dehydrated samples with the molecular formula Na2B4O7 5H2O, which is more stable under the storage conditions. Real crystals of borax are colorless and transparent. (a) Calculate the percent mass that the mineral has lost when it partially dehydrates. (b) Is the percent boron by mass the same in both compounds?arrow_forward
- Fulgurites are the products of the melting that occurs when lightning strikes the earth. Microscopic examination of a sand fulgurite shows that it is a globule with variable composition that contains some grains of the definite chemical composition Fe 46.01%, Si 53.99%. Determine the empirical formula of these grains.arrow_forwardCapsaicin, the compound that gives the hot taste to chili peppers, has the formula C18H27NO3.(a) Calculate its molar mass.(b) If you eat 55 mg of capsaicin, what amount (moles) have you consumed?(c) Calculate the mass percent of each element in the compound.(d) What mass of carbon (in milligrams) is there in 55 mg of capsaicin?arrow_forward
