Answer:
3.43 %
Explanation:
We need to calculate first the number of moles of CeO2 produced in the combustion. Given its formula we know how many moles of Ce atom are present. From there calculate the mass this number of moles this represent and then one can calculate the percentage.
0.1848 g CeO2 x 1 mol CeO2/172.114g = 0.00107 mol CeO2
0.00107 mol CeO2 x 1 mol Ce/ 1 mol CeO2 = 0.00107 mol Ce
.00107 mol Ce x 140.116 g Ce/ mol = 0.150 g Ce
0.150 g Ce/ 4.3718 g sample x 100 = 3.43 %
Adding the number of protons by the number of neutrons
John Dalton
Although the concept of the atom dates back to the ideas of Democritus, the English meteorologist and chemist John Dalton formulated the first modern description of it as the fundamental building block of chemical structures.
