Answer:

<em>mass of chlorine gas required is 118 kg.</em>

Explanation:

Total mass of the drug (Cisplatin) required = 500 kg

For the drug PtCl2(NH3)2, we first find the molar mass of the compound.

The molar mass of the drug is the total of all the molar mass of the elements in the drug

molar mass of Pt (platinum) in the drug = 195.078 g/mol

molar mass of chlorine (Cl) in the drug = 2 x (35.453 g/mol) = 70.908 g/mol

molar mass of ammonia (NH3) in the drug = 2 x (17.031 g/mol) = 34.062 g/mol

Total molar mass of the drug = 195.078 g/mol + 70.908 g/mol + 34.062 g/mol = 300.048 g/mol

fractional composition of chlorine in the drug = 70.908/300.048 = 0.236

mass of chlorine required for 500 kg of the drug = 0.236 x 500 =<em> 118 kg</em>

laiz [17]

Answer:

80cm3 of water, and 60cm3 carbon IV oxide is formed while 20cm3 of oxygen is left unreacted.

Explanation:

From Gay-Lussac's law, there are five volumes of oxygen, 1 volume if propane, 4 volumes of water and three volumes of CO2. Applying this shows the reacting volumes as we have in the image attached, hence the volumes left after reaction.

Which one of the following statements BEST describes a chemical reaction?
Natalija [7]

Answer: The correct statement is (A new substance is formed and the process can usually NOT be undone.)

Explanation:

A chemical reaction is simply defined as the reaction between two or more elements in which a new substance is formed and the process can usually not be undone. Different types of chemical reaction includes:

-- combination reaction: this occurs when two or more reactants form a product. For example: In the burning of coal, It combines with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide. Also in the burning of wood, carbon dioxide is given off and ashes are formed. Because new substance is being formed, they often can't be undone. The ashes formed can't be changed back into wood. Other types of chemical reaction are listed below.

-- Decomposition reaction

-- Single displacement reaction

-- Double displacement reaction

-- combustion reaction

-- Redox reaction

For the product of a chemical reaction to be undone (reversed), it has to undergo another chemical process different from the one that produced it.

Explain how scientific observations led to the development of, and changes to, the periodic table.
Musya8 [376]
The following are scientific observations which led to development and changes of periodic table: Dmitri Mendeleev is the first periodic table organized 63 known element according to its properties, organized into rows and columns and inscribed name, mass and chemical properties on each element. Julius Lothar Meyer who independently worked in Germany with Ernest Rutherford. They experimented with 38 metals and found out that the positive charge of each element nucleus increased by one from element to element and organized the periodic table that tip to modern explanation of atomic number and the recognition of atomic number was the basis for organization of periodic table.
