Answer:

A) 54.04%

B) 13-karat

Explanation:

A) From the problem we have

1) Mg + Ms = 9.40 g

2) Vg + Vs = 0.675 cm³

Where M stands for mass, V stands for volume, and g and s stand for gold and silver respectively.

We can rewrite the first equation using the density values:

3) Vg * 19.3 g/cm³ + Vs * 10.5 g/cm³ = 9.40

So now we have a system of two equations (2 and 3) with two unknowns:

We express Vg in terms of Vs:

Vg + Vs = 0.675 cm³

Vg = 0.675 - Vs

We replace the value of Vg in equation 3:

Vg * 19.3 + Vs * 10.5 = 9.40

(0.675-Vs) * 19.3 + Vs * 10.5 = 9.40

13.0275 - 19.3Vs + 10.5Vs = 9.40

-8.8 Vs + 13.0275 = 9.40

Vs = 0.412 cm³

Now we calculate Vg:

Vg + Vs = 0.675 cm³

Vg + 0.412 cm³ = 0.675 cm³

Vg = 0.263 cm³

We calculate Mg from Vg:

0.263 cm³ * 19.3 g/cm³ = 5.08 g

We calculate the mass percentage of gold:

5.08 / 9.40 * 100% = 54.04%

We multiply 24 by the percentage fraction:

24 * 54.04/100 = 12.97-karat ≅ 13-karat

the empirical formula for a compound used as a green paint pigment is C2H3As3Cu2O8. The molar mass of its molecular formula was

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

Molecular formula = C₄H₆As₆Cu₄O₁₆

Explanation:

Given data:

Empirical formula = C₂H₃As₃Cu₂O₈

Molar mass of compound = 1013 g/mol

Molecular formula = ?

Solution:

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

n = molar mass of compound / empirical formula mass

Empirical formula mass of C₂H₃As₃Cu₂O₈ is 506.897 g/mol

by putting values.

n = 1013 / 506.897

n = 2

Molecular formula = n (empirical formula)

Molecular formula = 2 (C₂H₃As₃Cu₂O₈)

Molecular formula = C₄H₆As₆Cu₄O₁₆

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

The correct option is 2.No, because only electrons are involved in bonding.

Explanation:

The type of bond formed by carbon and nitrogen (carbon-nitrogen bond) is covalent bond

Also known as molecular bond, a covalent bond involves the sharing of pairs of electrons (known as bonding pairs or shared pairs) between the carbon and nitrogen atoms forming stable, balanced forces in attraction and repulsion as they share common electrons in their compounds.

This electron sharing covalent bond is what enables the formation of the several compounds between carbon and nitrogen for example, in an amine, nitrogen which has five electrons, has two remaining electrons that forms a lone pair whereby it can combine further with other elements.

Hence the factor that influences the bonds to make the numerous organic molecules is the available electrons which constitutes the shared electron pairs in covalent bonds while the neutrons which function is to keep the repulsive forces of positively charged protons from ripping the nucleus apart.
