Carboplatin (C6H12N2O4Pt) is a platinum-containing compound that is used to treat certain forms of cancer. This compound contain

s 52.5% platinum. If the price for platinum is $1047/ troy ounce, what is the cost of the platinum in 2.00 g of this compound? A troy ounce is equal to 480 grains, and one grain is equal to 64.8 mg.

Answer:

The answer to your question is:  $ 35.6

Explanation:

C₆H₁₂N₂O₄Pt

Platinum = 52.5 %

Price = $1047 / troy ounce

cost of platinum = ? of 2 g

1 troy ounce = 480 grains

1 grain = 64.8 mg

Process

Get 52.5 % of 2 g

                               2 g -----------------  100 %

                               x     -----------------  52.5%

                              x = (52.5 x 2) / 100

                              x = 1.05 g

                               1 g --------------------- 1000 mg

                               1.05 g ----------------   x

                               x = 1050 mg of Pt

                               1 grain ---------------- 64.8 mg

                              x            ---------------  1050 mg

                              x = 16.2 grains

                              480 grains ---------------- 1 troy ounce

                              16.2 grains ----------------   x

                               x = (16.2 x 1) / 480

                                x = 0.034 troy ounce

                              $ 1047 ------------------  1 troy ounce

                                x        -------------------  0.034

                                x = (0,034 x 1047) / 1

                                x = $ 35.6

How many number of oxygen molecules are required to produce 0.22 g of CO2 according to the reaction?
zmey [24]
The number of moles for co2=mass(g)/molar mass
n=.22/44=.005 mole of CO2
from the equation we see the relationship between the moles of co2 and O2 and we find that they have the same number of moles
So we need .005mole of O2
Multiple the number of moles with avogadro’s number to know the number of O2molecules
.005x6.022 x10^23

Answer:

2. The metal would lose one electrons and the non metal would gain one electrons

Explanation:

An atom of a certain element reacts with the atoms of other elements in order to fullfill its outermost shell (called valence shell).

We notice the following:

- The elements in Group 1 (which are metals) have only 1 electron in their valence shell

- The elements in Group 17 (which are non-metals) have 1 vacancy (lack of electron) in their valence shell

This means that in order for both an atom of group 1 and an atom of group 17 to fullfill the valence shell, they have to:

- The atom in group 1 has to give away its only electron of the valence shell

- The atom in group 17 has to gain one electron in order to fullfill the shell

Therefore, the correct option is

2. The metal would lose one electrons and the non metal would gain one electrons
