Hydrocortisone valerate is an ingredient in hydrocortisone cream, prescribed for skin problems. its molecular formula is c26h38o6. what is the percent by mass of carbon in hydrocortisone valerate?

Answer : The percentage by mass of carbon in hydrocortisone valerate is 69.95 %.

Solution :

The molecular formula is .

The molar mass of Carbon = 12 g/mole

The molar mass of Hydrogen = 1 g/mole

The molar mass of Oxygen = 16 g/mole

First we have to calculate the mass of one mole of .

In this molecule, there are 26 carbon atom, 38 hydrogen atom and 6 oxygen atom.

Mass of 26 moles of carbon = 26 moles × 12 g/mole = 312 g

Mass of 38 moles of hydrogen = 38 moles × 1 g/mole = 38 g

Mass of 6 moles of oxygen = 6 moles × 16 g/mole = 96 g

Total mass of one mole of = 312 + 38 + 96 = 446 g

Now we have to calculate the percent by mass of carbon in hydrocortisone valerate.

Therefore, the percentage by mass of carbon in hydrocortisone valerate is 69.95 %.

the food using pesticides in the future will harm you by giving you diseases like cancer or something since they have things that we should not eat in it like chemicals or pesticides. that is why organic food is more expensive because they take the time to make it right and healthy for you to eat.

explanation:

the answer is:  

line graphs show patterns in data with variables that change over time; whereas, circle graphs show data as parts out of a whole (such as out of 100%).
