Answer:
Dalton's theory are based on the two laws that are: Law of conservation of mass and law of constant composition. This theory basically described their properties of atoms.
This theory state that all the atoms are made up of matter which are invisible and in the elements all the atoms are identical in mass and properties.
Answer:
1 mole of platinum
Explanation:
To obtain the number of mole(s) of platinum present, we need to determine the empirical formula for the compound.
The empirical formula for the compound can be obtained as follow:
Platinum (Pt) = 117.4 g
Carbon (C) = 28.91 g
Nitrogen (N) = 33.71 g
Divide by their molar mass
Pt = 117.4 / 195 = 0.602
C = 28.91 / 12 = 2.409
N = 33.71 / 14 = 2.408
Divide by the smallest
Pt = 0.602 / 0.602 = 1
C = 2.409 / 0.602 = 4
N = 2.408 / 0.602 = 4
The empirical formula for the compound is PtC₄N₄ => Pt(CN)₄
From the formula of the compound (i.e Pt(CN)₄), we can see clearly that the compound contains 1 mole of platinum.
