One mole of any substance contains 6.022 x 10^23 atoms
Therefore, number of moles containing <span>2.49×10^23 atoms can be calculated as follows:
number of moles = (2.49 x 10^23) / (6.022 x 10^23) = 0.4135 moles

From the periodic table:
molecular mass of gold = 197 grams
molecular mass of palladium = 106.4 grams
Therefore:
molar mass of gold = 197 grams
molar mass of palladium = 106.7 grams

First equation:
moles of gold + moles of palladium = </span>0.4135<span> moles

Second equation:
mass of gold + mass of palladium = 67.2 grams
mass can be written as: mass = number of moles x molar mass
therefore:
(mass of gold + mass of palladium) can be rewritten as:
moles of gold x 197 + moles of palladium x 106.4 = 67.2 grams

Now, we have two equations (highlighted in bold) in two unknowns, we can solve them simultaneously to get the number of moles of each element as follows:
From equation one:
moles of gold = </span>0.4135<span> - moles of palladium
Substitute with this in equation 2:
</span>(0.4135 - moles of palladium) x 197 + moles of palladium x 106.4 = 67.2
 81.4595 - 197 moles of palladium + 106.4 moles of palladium = 67.2
81.4595 - 67.2 = 197 moles of palladium - 106.4 moles of palladium
14.2595 = 90.6 moles of palladium
moles of palladium = 0.1574 moles
Substitute in equation 1 to get moles of gold:
moles of gold = 0.4135 - 0.1574 = 0.2561 moles

Now, the last step is to convert the number of moles to mass:
mass = number of moles x molar mass
mass of gold = 0.2561 x 197 = 50.4517 grams
mass of palladium = 0.1574 x 106.4 = 16.74736 grams

Luda [366]
Carbohydrates. CH2O is the most basic formula of simple sugars.Empirical formula is the lowest whole number ratio of atoms in a formula.For example glucose is C6H12O6 can be reduced by 6 to get CH2O. Simples sugars include glucose and fructose which can serve as sources of energy for fats and amino acids.

What element is represented by the following electron configuration:
Alecsey [184]
For better representation, let me rewrite the electronic configuration:

<span>1s</span>²<span>2s</span>²<span>2p</span>⁶<span>3s</span>²<span>3p</span>⁶<span>4s</span>²<span>3d</span>⁴

The exponents represent the number of electrons in the designated subshell. Thus, the total number of electrons are:
# of electrons = 2+2+6+2+6+2+4 = 24

Assuming this is in neutral state, the element with an atomic number of 24 is Chromium. Thus, the answer is Cr.
