a. Elemental percent composition is the mass percent of each element in the compound.

The formula for mass elemental percent composition = \frac{mass of element}{mass of compound}   (1)

The molecular formula of cisplatin is Pt(NH_3)_2Cl_2.

The atomic weight of the elements in cisplatin is:

Platinum, Pt = 195.084 u

Nitrogen, N = 14.0067 u

Hydrogen, H = 1 u

Chlorine, Cl = 35.453 u

The molar mass of Pt(NH_3)_2Cl_2 = 195.084+ (2\times 14.0067)+(6\times 1)+(2\times 35.453) = 300.00 g/mol

The mass of each element calculated using formula (1):

- Platinum, Pt %

\frac{195.084}{300.00} \times 100 = 65.23%.

- Nitrogen, N%

\frac{2\times 14.0067}{300.00} \times 100 = 9.34%

- Hydrogen, H%

\frac{6\times 1}{300.00} \times 100 = 2.0%

- Chlorine, Cl%

\frac{2\times 35.453}{300.00} \times 100 = 23.63%

b. The given reaction of cisplatin is:

K_2PtCl_4(aq)+2NH_3(aq)\rightarrow Pt(NH_3)_2Cl_2(s)+2KCl(aq)

According to the balanced reaction, 1 mole of K_2PtCl_4 gives 1 mole of Pt(NH_3)_2Cl_2.

Now, calculating the number of moles of K_2PtCl_4 in 100.0 g.

Number of moles = \frac{given mass}{Molar mass}

Molar mass of K_2PtCl_4 = 2\times 39.0983+195.084+4\times 35.453 = 415.093 g/mol

Number of moles of K_2PtCl_4 = \frac{100 g}{415.093 g/mol} = 0.241 mole.

Since, 1 mole of K_2PtCl_4 gives 1 mole of Pt(NH_3)_2Cl_2. Therefore, mass of cisplatin is:

0.241 mole\times 300 g/mol = 72.3 g

For mass of KCl:

Molar mass of KCl = 39.0983 + 35.453 = 74.55 g/mol

Since, 1 mole of K_2PtCl_4 gives 2 mole of KCl. Therefore, mass of KCl is:

0.241 mole\times 74.55 g/mol\times 2 = 35.93 g

Which statement best describles how the remote control communicates with the television to change the volume of th sound
storchak [24]

Answer:

Following are the statement to this question:

Explanation:

The opinions were missing in this problem, which is why its solution can be described as follows:

The given statement better explains why the remote control communicates only with television to change the volume of sound because the Low energy has long waves and higher energy has shorter waves. Its remote control provides low energy radiation to both the light detector on the front of a TV, and it will be the only source for this type of radiation with less power and more than microwaves than visible light. When an object is not sufficiently hot to emit infrared radiation, a bulk of its power is infrared.

How does an atom become a positively charged ion
sladkih [1.3K]
When, it donates electons.

as for example take
NaCl ( sodium chloride)

it's an ionic compund,
that means it is formed by donating or gaining electrons

Na is writen first than, it must be electropositive i.e it has donated electons which made it positive and the clorine gains electron so it's electronegative.

Na is positive because
as we know it's atomic number is 11 that means it has 11 protons and 11 electrons
now, when it donate electon it has, greater number of protons whose change is +ve so the atom becomes overall positively charged ion or cation.

and something same happens in clorine and because it gains one electron and the number of electrons increase in it by 1 whise charge is -ve so, the atom becomes negatively charged ion or anion which has a -1 charge.
