Many cereals are made with high moisture content so that the cereal can be formed into various shapes before it is dried. A cereal product containing \(58 \% \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\) by mass is produced at the rate of \(1000 . \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{h} .\) What mass of water must be evaporated per hour if the final product contains only \(20 . \%\) water?
A new grill has a mass of \(30.0 \mathrm{~kg}\). You put \(3.0 \mathrm{~kg}\) of charcoal in the grill. You burn all the charcoal and the grill has a mass of \(30.0 \mathrm{~kg}\). What is the mass of the gases given off? Explain.
Dimethylnitrosamine, \(\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{2} \mathrm{~N}_{2} \mathrm{O}\), is a carcinogenic (cancercausing) substance that may be formed in foods, beverages, or gastric juices from the reaction of nitrite ion (used as a food preservative) with other substances. a. What is the molar mass of dimethylnitrosamine? b. How many moles of \(\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{2} \mathrm{~N}_{2} \mathrm{O}\) molecules are present in \(250 \mathrm{mg}\) dimethylnitrosamine? c. What is the mass of \(0.050\) mol dimethylnitrosamine? d. How many atoms of hydrogen are in \(1.0 \mathrm{~mol}\) dimethylnitrosamine? e. What is the mass of \(1.0 \times 10^{6}\) molecules of dimethylnitrosamine? f. What is the mass in grams of one molecule of dimethylnitrosamine?
Aspartame is an artificial sweetener that is 160 times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar) when dissolved in water. It is marketed as Nutra-Sweet. The molecular formula of aspartame is \(\mathrm{C}_{14} \mathrm{H}_{18} \mathrm{~N}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{5}\) a. Calculate the molar mass of aspartame. b. What amount (moles) of molecules are present in \(10.0 \mathrm{~g}\) aspartame? c. Calculate the mass in grams of \(1.56\) mol aspartame. d. What number of molecules are in \(5.0 \mathrm{mg}\) aspartame? e. What number of atoms of nitrogen are in \(1.2 \mathrm{~g}\) aspartame? f. What is the mass in grams of \(1.0 \times 10^{9}\) molecules of aspartame? g. What is the mass in grams of one molecule of aspartame?
Maleic acid is an organic compound composed of \(41.39 \% \mathrm{C}\), \(3.47 \% \mathrm{H}\), and the rest oxygen. If \(0.129 \mathrm{~mol}\) of maleic acid has a mass of \(15.0 \mathrm{~g}\), what are the empirical and molecular formulas of maleic acid?
