The formula or chemical formula of a compound is same irrespective of source / mode of synthesis . Thus if a sample of compound has one carbon atom for every two atoms of oxygen (CO2), the formula will remains the same
So the answer is that for all other samples the compound X should hold this ration true.
Answer is: beryllium-10.
The diagram shows that atom has 4 protons, 5 neutrons and 2 valence electrons.
Atomic number is the number of protons, which is characteristic of a chemical element, beryllium (Be) is an element with atomic number 4.
Two valence electrons means that atom is from 2. group of periodic table, only beryllium is from that group; sodium (1. group), boron (13. group) and carbon (14. group).
Beryllium-10 has 6 neutrons, so it is isotope (different number of neutrons or mass number).
<span>Pre-1982 definition of STP: 37 g/mol
Post-1982 definition of STP: 38 g/mol
This problem is somewhat ambiguous because the definition of STP changed in 1982. Prior to 1982, the definition was 273.15 K at a pressure of 1 atmosphere (101325 Pascals). Since 1982, the definition is 273.15 K at a pressure of exactly 100000 Pascals). Because of those 2 different definitions, the volume of 1 mole of gas is either 22.414 Liters (pre 1982 definition), or 22.71098 liters (post 1982 definition). And finally, there's entirely too many text books out there that still use the 35 year obsolete definition. So let's solve this problem using both definitions and you need to pick the correct answer for the text book you're using.
First, determine how many moles of gas you have. Just simply divide the volume you have by the molar volume.
Pre-1982: 2.1 / 22.414 = 0.093691443 moles
Post-1982: 2.1 / 22.71098 = 0.092466287 moles
Now determine the molar mass. Simply divide the mass by the moles. So
Pre-1982: 3.5 g / 0.093691443 moles = 37.35666667 g/mol
Post-1982: 3.5 g / 0.092466287 moles = 37.85163333 g/mol
Finally, round to 2 significant figures. So
Pre-1982: 37 g/mol
Post-1982: 38 g/mol</span>
