A sample of trifluoroacetic acid, C2HF3O2, contains 38.9 g of oxygen. Calculate the mass of the trifluoroacetic acid sample.

138.6 g of  C₂HF₃O₂ have 38.9 g of O

Explanation:

Trifluoroacetic acid → C₂HF₃O₂

Molar mass = Mass of C . 2 + Mass of H + Mass of F . 3 + Mass of O .2

Molar mass = 12 . 2 + 1 . 1 + 19 . 3 + 16 . 2 = 114 g /mol

1 mol of C₂HF₃O₂ has:

2 moles of C

1 mol of H

3 moles of F

2 moles of O

If we state the relation in mass by g we say:

114 g of  C₂HF₃O₂ have 24g of C, 1 g of H, 57 g of F and 32 g of O

Let's make a rule of three:

32 g of O are contained in 114 g of  C₂HF₃O₂

38.9 g of O may be contained in (38.9 . 114) / 32 = 138.6 g

the leaf is an organ of a typical plant, and the main functions are to complete photosynthesis and allow the plant to exchange gas, just like how we have the respiratory system. leaves have the stomata, which collects maintains co2 and o2 levels. this is necessary for cell metabolism. the leaf also collects sunlight using chloroplasts. succinctly, leaves own a pivotal role in sustaining plant life.
