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

The following data were measured for the reaction BF3(g)+NH3(g)→F3BNH3(g): Experiment [BF3](M) [NH3](M) Initial Rate (M/s) 1 0.2
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

-r_{A}=k\times[BF_3]^{1}\times[NH_3]^{1}

Explanation:

The rate law of a chemical reaction is given by

-r_{A}=k\times[BF_3]^{\alpha}\times[NH_3]^{\beta}

This law can be written for any experiment, and making the quotient between those expressions the reaction orders can be found

Between experiments 1 and 2  

\frac{-r_{A1}}{{-r}_{A2}}=\left(\frac{\left[NH_3\right]_1}{\left[NH_3\right]_2}\right)^\beta

Then the expression for the calculation of \beta

\beta=\frac{ln\frac{-r_{A1}}{-r_{A2}}}{ln\left(\frac{\left[NH_3\right]_1}{\left[NH_3\right]_2}\right)}=\frac{ln\frac{0.2130}{0.1065}}{ln\left(\frac{0.250}{0.125}\right)}

Resolving  

\beta=1

Doing the same between experiments 3 and 4 the expression for \alpha is

\alpha=\frac{ln\frac{-r_{A3}}{-r_{A4}}}{ln\left(\frac{\left[BF_3\right]_3}{\left[BF_3\right]_4}\right)}=\frac{ln\frac{0.0682}{0.1193}}{ln\left(\frac{0.200}{0.350}\right)}

Resolving  

\alpha=1

This means that the rate law for this reaction is  

-r_{A}=k\times[BF_3]^{1}\times[NH_3]^{1}

Plants are responsibe for a very important energy transformation what answer
Soloha48 [4]

Plants are chlorophyll-containing photosynthetic organisms. Thus, they convert solar or radiant energy into chemical energy under the process termed as photosynthesis.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Plants are chlorophyll-containing photosynthetic living beings. Consequently, they convert radiant energy into chemical energy under the procedure named  photosynthesis.  
  • Except for remote ocean hydro-thermal environment, the sun is the only source for all biological systems on earth. Plants catch just 2-10 percent of the solar radiation and transmit it as chemical energy. All creatures are reliant for their nourishment on producers (plants), either directly or indirectly. So there is a stream of energy from the sun (radiant energy) to producers and then to consumers (chemical energy).
