The effectiveness of a nitrogen fertilizer is determined mainly by its mass % N. Rank the following fertilizer, most effective first: potassium nitrate; ammonium nitrate; ammonium sulfate; urea,
An oxide of nitrogen contains 30.45 mass %.
(a) What is the empirical formula of the oxide?
(b) If the molar mass iswhat is the molecular formula?
A chloride of silicon contains 79.1 mass % Cl.
(a) What is the empirical formula of the chloride?
(b) If the molar mass is 269 g/mol, what is the molecular formula?
In 1961, scientists agreed that the atomic mass unit (amu) would be defined as 1/12 the mass of an atom of 12C. Before then, it was defined as 1/16 the average mass of an atom of naturally occurring oxygen (a mixture of 16O, 17O, and 18O). The current atomic mass of oxygen is 15.9994 amu. (a) Did Avogadro’s number change after the definition of an amu changed and, if so, in what direction? (b) Did the definition of the mole change? (c) Did the mass of a mole of a substance change? (d) Before 1961, was Avogadro’s number 6.02×1023 (when considered to three significant figures), as it is today?
Aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid, C9H8O4) is made by reacting salicylic acid (C7H6O3) with acetic anhydride [(CH3CO)2O]:
In one reaction, 3.077 g of salicylic acid and 5.50 mL of acetic anhydride react to form 3.281 g of aspirin. (a) Which is the limiting reactant (d of acetic anhydride = 1.080 g/mL)? (b) What is the percent yield of this reaction? (c) What is the percent atom economy of this reaction?
