Answer: 54.2\times 10^{23} atoms

Explanation:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

Here copper is having an oxidation state of +2 called as Cu^{2+} cation and phosphate PO_4^{3-} is an anion with oxidation state of -3. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral Cu_3(PO_4)_2.

1 mole of Cu_3(PO_4)_2 contains = 2\times 6.023\times 10^{23}=12.05\times 10^{23} atoms of phosphorous

Thus 4.50 mole of Cu_3(PO_4)_2 contain = \frac{12.05\times 10^{23}}{1}\times 4.50=54.2\times 10^{23} atomsof phosphorous

Thus there are 54.2\times 10^{23} atoms of phosphorous.

<span>Because copper (II) cations have a charge of +2 and phosphate anions have a charge of -3, the formula of anhydrous* copper (II) phosphate is

Cu3(PO4)2

This shows that each formula unit contains 2 atoms of phosphorus. Therefore, the atoms of phosphorus in 4.8 formula units is

4.8 x Avogadro's Number (</span><span>6.022x10*23)</span>, or about 2.9 X 10*24 atoms

1. Propane gas (C3H8) burns completely in the presence of oxygen gas (O2) to yield carbon dioxide gas (CO2) and water vapor (H2O
vovikov84 [41]
1) Balanced equation

C3H8 + 5O2 -> 3 CO2 + 4 H2O

2) 0.700 L C3H8

Given the pressure and temperature do not change, the molar ratio is equivalent to volume ratio

1molC3H8 / 5 mol O2 => 1 L C3H8 / 5 L O2

0.700 L C3H8 / x L O2 = 1 L C3H8 / 5 L O2 => x = 0.700 L C3H8 * 5 L O2 / 1 L C3H8

x = 3.500 L O2

3) CO2 produced

1 L C3H8 / 3 L CO2 = 0.700 L C3H8 / x L CO2 =>

x = 0.700 L C3H8 * 3 L CO2 / 1 L C3H8 = 2.100 L CO2

4) Water vapor produced

1) 1 L C3H8 / 4 L H2O = 0.700 LC3H8 / x L H2O =>

x = 0.700 L C3H8 * 4 L H20 / 1 L C3H8 = 2.800 L H2O

A 13.97 g sample of nabr contains 22.34% na by mass. Considering the law of constant composition (definite proportions) how many
Grace [21]

As per the law of constant composition, a given sample will always contain the same number of elements that combine in the same mass proportion.

Therefore if a sample of 13.97 g of NaBr contains 22.39 % of Na by mass then,  a sample of 5.75 g of NaBr would also contain 22.39% Na by mass

Hence:

Mass of Na = 5.75 g * 22.39/100 = 1.287 g

5.75 g of NaBr would contain 1.29 g of Na
