QUESTION:
Dimethyl sulfoxide \(\left[\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{2} \mathrm{SO}\right]\), also called DMSO, is an important solvent that penetrates the skin, enabling it to be used as a topical drug-delivery agent. Calculate the number of C, S, H, and O atoms in \(7.14\times10^3\mathrm{\ g}\) of dimethyl sulfoxide.
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 4
Here, we are going to calculate the number of C. H. S and O atoms in g of dimethyl sulfoxide
.
We know that,
Molar mass of glucose
= (2 12.01 g) + 6
1.008 g + 1
16.00 g + 32.06 g = 78.13 g/mol
1.0 mol of dimethyl sulfoxide contains = molecules of dimethyl sulfoxide
The conversion factors are,
and
and
The number of C in dimethyl sulfoxide
= atoms of C in dimethyl sulfoxide
Thus, we have found that contains
atoms of (C) Carbon.
