Answer:

             1.37 × 10²³ Atoms of Mercury  

Solution:

Step 1: Calculate Mass of Mercury using following formula,

                               Density  =  Mass ÷ Volume

Solving for Mass,

                               Mass  =  Density × Volume

Putting values,

                               Mass  =  13.55 g.cm⁻³ × 3.4 cm³                ∴ 1 cm³ = 1 cc

                               Mass  =  46.07 g

Step 2: Calculating number of Moles using following formula;

                               Moles  =  Mass ÷ M.mass

Putting values,

                               Moles  =  46.07 g ÷ 200.59 g.mol⁻¹

                               Moles  =  0.229 mol

Step 3: Calculating Number of Atoms using following formula;

                               Number of atoms  =  Moles × 6.022 ×10²³

Putting value of moles,

                               Number of Atoms  =  0.229 mol × 6.022 × 10²³

                              Number of Atoms  =  1.37 × 10²³ Atoms of Hg

Why is the answer C for this problem?
pshichka [43]

Answer:

\boxed{\text{(C) X}$_{3}$P$_{2}}

Explanation:

Step 1. Identify the Group that contains X

We look at the consecutive ionization energies and hunt for a big jump between them

\begin{array}{crc}n & IE_{n} & IE_{n} - IE_{n-1}\\1 & 730 & \\2 & 1450 & 720\\3 & 7700 & 6250\\4 & 10500 & 2800\\\end{array}

We see a big jump between n = 2 and n = 3. This indicates that X has two valence electrons.

We can easily remove two electrons, but the third electron requires much more energy. That electron must be in the stable, filled, inner core.

So, X is in Group 2 and P is in Group 15.

Step 2. Identify the Compound

X can lose two valence electrons to reach a stable octet, and P can do the same by gaining three electrons.

We must have 3 X atoms for every 2 P atoms.

The formula of the compound is \boxed{\text{X}$_{3}$P$_{2}}$}.
