Answer: 2:3

Explanation: Decomposition reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which one reactant gives two or more than two products.

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

$2KClO_3\rightarrow 2KCl+3O_2$

according to the balanced chemical equation, 2 moles of potassium chlortae on decomposition gives 2 moles of $KCl$ and 3 moles of $O_2$ .

The compound cisplatin, pt(nh3)2cl2 , has been studied extensively as an antitumor agent.

Nataliya [291]

a. Elemental percent composition is the mass percent of each element in the compound.

The formula for mass elemental percent composition = $\frac{mass of element}{mass of compound}$ (1)

The molecular formula of cisplatin is $Pt(NH_3)_2Cl_2$ .

The atomic weight of the elements in cisplatin is:

Platinum, $Pt = 195.084 u$

Nitrogen, $N = 14.0067 u$

Hydrogen, $H = 1 u$

Chlorine, $Cl = 35.453 u$

The molar mass of $Pt(NH_3)_2Cl_2$ = $195.084+ (2\times 14.0067)+(6\times 1)+(2\times 35.453)$ = $300.00 g/mol$

The mass of each element calculated using formula (1):

- Platinum, $Pt$ %

$\frac{195.084}{300.00} \times 100 = 65.23$ %.

- Nitrogen, $N$ %

$\frac{2\times 14.0067}{300.00} \times 100 = 9.34$ %

- Hydrogen, $H$ %

$\frac{6\times 1}{300.00} \times 100 = 2.0$ %

- Chlorine, $Cl$ %

$\frac{2\times 35.453}{300.00} \times 100 = 23.63$ %

b. The given reaction of cisplatin is:

$K_2PtCl_4(aq)+2NH_3(aq)\rightarrow Pt(NH_3)_2Cl_2(s)+2KCl(aq)$

According to the balanced reaction, 1 mole of $K_2PtCl_4$ gives 1 mole of $Pt(NH_3)_2Cl_2$ .

Now, calculating the number of moles of $K_2PtCl_4$ in 100.0 g.

Number of moles = $\frac{given mass}{Molar mass}$

Molar mass of $K_2PtCl_4$ = $2\times 39.0983+195.084+4\times 35.453 = 415.093 g/mol$

Number of moles of $K_2PtCl_4$ = $\frac{100 g}{415.093 g/mol} = 0.241 mole$ .

Since, 1 mole of $K_2PtCl_4$ gives 1 mole of $Pt(NH_3)_2Cl_2$ . Therefore, mass of cisplatin is:

$0.241 mole\times 300 g/mol = 72.3 g$

For mass of $KCl$ :

Molar mass of $KCl$ = $39.0983 + 35.453 = 74.55 g/mol$

Since, 1 mole of $K_2PtCl_4$ gives 2 mole of $KCl$ . Therefore, mass of $KCl$ is:

$0.241 mole\times 74.55 g/mol\times 2 = 35.93 g$

How many significant figures are in the number 0.00230? O 6

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

0.00230 = <u>3 significant figures</u>

Explanation:

Significant digits or figures of a given number are the digits or figures that have meaning and contributes to the precision of the given number.

Therefore, <u>0.00230 = 3 significant figures.</u>

Reason: The non-zeros figures and the trailing zero after the decimal are significant. Whereas, all the leading zeros are not considered significant.

A certain substance melts at a temperature of . But if a sample of is prepared with of urea dissolved in it, the sample is found

pshichka [43]

Answer:

2.2 °C/m

Explanation:

It seems the question is incomplete. However, this problem has been found in a web search, with values as follow:

" A certain substance X melts at a temperature of -9.9 °C. But if a 350 g sample of X is prepared with 31.8 g of urea (CH₄N₂O) dissolved in it, the sample is found to have a melting point of -13.2°C instead. Calculate the molal freezing point depression constant of X. Round your answer to 2 significant digits. "

So we use the formula for <em>freezing point depression</em>:

ΔTf = Kf * m

In this case, ΔTf = 13.2 - 9.9 = 3.3°C

m is the molality (moles solute/kg solvent)

350 g X ⇒ 350/1000 = 0.35 kg X

31.8 g Urea ÷ 60 g/mol = 0.53 mol Urea

Molality = 0.53 / 0.35 = 1.51 m

So now we have all the required data to <u>solve for Kf</u>:

ΔTf = Kf * m

3.3 °C = Kf * 1.51 m

Kf = 2.2 °C/m
