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

Boron has two isotopes, Boron 10 which has a mass of 10.0129 amu and Boron-11 with a mass of 11.0093 amu. B-10 occurs 84.74% of
podryga [215]

The average atomic mass of Boron: 10.431 amu

<h3>Further explanation   </h3>

Isotopes are atoms whose no-atom has the same number of protons while still having a different number of neutrons.  

So Isotopes are elements that have the same Atomic Number (Proton)  

Atomic mass is the average atomic mass of all its isotopes  

In determining the mass of an atom, as a standard is the mass of 1 carbon-12 atom whose mass is 12 amu  

Mass atom X = mass isotope 1 . % + mass isotope 2.%  + ...

The average atomic mass of boron :

\tt avg~mass=0.8474\times 10.0129+0.1526\times 11.0093\\\\avg~mass=10.431~amu
