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

How many molecules of O2 are present in a 3.90L flask at a temperature of 273K and a pressure of 1.00atm?
Lisa [10]

Based on the ideal gas relation:

PV = nRT

where P = pressure ; V = volume ; T = temperature

n = number of moles; R = gas constant = 0.0821 L atm/mol-K

Step 1: Find the number of moles of O2

n = PV/RT = 1 * 3.90/0.0821*273 = 0.1740 moles

Step 2: Calculate the molecules of O2

Now, 1 mole of O2 corresponds to 6.023 * 10²³ molecules of O2

Therefore, 0.1740 moles of O2 corresponds to-

0.1740 moles of O2 * 6.023*10²³ molecules of O2/1 mole of O2

= 1.048 * 10²³ molecules of O2

lorasvet [3.4K]
You can find the ratio that it can expand with the atmospheric pressure.

200.0/101.3= 1.97 ≈ 2, this means that the balloon could expand twice its initial volume. So, it is not possible for the balloon to expand to 4 since the maximum is 2.
