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

Consider the following mechanism.
solong [7]

Answer :

(a) The overall equation is:

ClO^-(aq)+I^-(aq)\rightarrow Cl^-(aq)+IO^-(aq)

(b) The intermediates are  :

OH^-(aq),HClO(aq)\text{ and }HIO(aq)

Explanation :

<u>Part (a) :</u>

(1) ClO^-(aq)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow HClO(aq)+OH^-(aq)   (fast)

(2) I^-(aq)+HClO(aq)\rightarrow HIO(aq)+Cl^-(aq)    (slow)

(3) OH^-(aq)+HIO(aq)\rightarrow H_2O(l)+IO^-(aq)   (fast)

By adding the three equations and cancelling the common terms on both side, we will get the overall equation.

ClO^-(aq)+I^-(aq)\rightarrow Cl^-(aq)+IO^-(aq)

<u>Part (b)  :</u>

Intermediates are generated and consumed in the mechanism and do not include in the overall equation.

Since, intermediates will not include in the overall mechanism.

The intermediates are  :

OH^-(aq),HClO(aq)\text{ and }HIO(aq)
