Consider the atom with the chemical symbol Ru.

1 answer:

Vinil7 [7]2 years ago

4 0

Answer: 97

Explanation:

The element Ru is <u>Ruthenium</u> which has <u>44 protons</u>.

In this case, our atom is an isotope with <u>53 neutrons</u>.

With this information, we can use the mass number formula to find this atom's mass number.

mass number = protons + neutrons

mass number = <u>44 protons</u> + <u>53 neutrons</u>

mass number = <u>97</u>

Define the term "transfer energy" in your own words

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

Energy is the ability to do work, or in more simple terms: energy makes things happen. You use energy to ride your bike, play video games, bake cookies, and drive to school. Energy is exciting! Energy can be transferred from one object to another, and energy can be transferred into different forms, such as light, sound, and heat.

A compound that contains only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen is 58.8% C and 9.87% H by mass. What is the empirical formula of this

Dmitry [639]

<u>Answer:</u> The empirical formula of the compound becomes $C_5H_{10}O_2$

<u>Explanation:</u>

The empirical formula is the chemical formula of the simplest ratio of the number of atoms of each element present in a compound.

Let the mass of the compound be 100 g

Given values:

% of C = 58.8%

% of H = 9.87%

% of O = [100 - 58.8 - 9.87] = 31.33%

Mass of C = 58.8 g

Mass of H = 9.87 g

Mass of O = 31.33 g

The number of moles is defined as the ratio of the mass of a substance to its molar mass. The equation used is:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ ......(1)

To formulate the empirical formula, we need to follow some steps:

<u>Step 1:</u> Converting the given masses into moles.

Molar mass of C = 12 g/mol

Molar mass of H = 1 g/mol

Molar mass of O = 16 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of C}=\frac{58.8g}{12g/mol}=4.9 mol$

$\text{Moles of H}=\frac{9.87g}{1g/mol}=9.87 mol$

$\text{Moles of O}=\frac{31.33g}{16g/mol}=1.96mol$

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculating the mole ratio of the given elements.

Calculating the mole fraction of each element by dividing the calculated moles by the least calculated number of moles that is 1.96 moles

$\text{Mole fraction of C}=\frac{4.9}{1.96}=2.5$

$\text{Mole fraction of H}=\frac{9.87}{1.96}=5.03\approx 5$

$\text{Mole fraction of O}=\frac{1.96}{1.96}=1$

Converting the mole fraction into whole numbers by multiplying them with 2.

$\text{Mole fraction of C}=2.5\times 2=5$

$\text{Mole fraction of H}=5\times 2=10$

$\text{Mole fraction of O}=1\times 2=2$

<u>Step 3:</u> Taking the mole ratio as their subscripts.

The ratio of C : H : O = 5 : 10 : 2

Hence, the empirical formula of the compound becomes $C_5H_{10}O_2$
