In order to determine if compounds X and Y are the same, the mole percentages of the elements present should be equal in both compounds.

For compound X

number of moles H = 15/ 1 =15 mol H
number of moles O = 120/ 16 = 7.5 mol O

total moles = 22.5 mol

mole percentages
% mole H = 67%
% mole O = 33%

For compound Y 

mole of H = 2 /1 = 2
mole of O = 32/16 = 2

total mole = 4 mole

mol %

% mol H = 50%
% mol O = 50%

there the two compounds are not the same.

Determine the mass in grams of 3.75 x 10^21 atoms of zinc. (the mass of one mole of zinc is 65.39 g)
Nastasia [14]

Answer: The mass in 3.75 \times 10^{21} atoms of zinc is 0.405 g.

Explanation:

Given: Atoms of zinc = 3.75 \times 10^{21}

It is known that 1 mole of every substance contains 6.022 \times 10^{23} atoms. So, the number of moles in given number of atoms is as follows.

Moles = \frac{3.75 \times 10^{21}}{6.022 \times 10^{23}}\\= 0.622 \times 10^{-2}\\= 0.0062 mol

As moles is the mass of a substance divided by its molar mass. So, mass of zinc (molar mass = 65.39 g/mol) is calculated as follows.

Moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}\\0.0062 mol = \frac{mass}{65.39 g}\\mass = 0.405 g

Thus, we can conclude that the mass in 3.75 \times 10^{21} atoms of zinc is 0.405 g.
