Answer:

Atomic mass of E is 128.24

Explanation:

  • The percentage composition by mass of an element in a compound is given by dividing the mass of the element by the total mass of the compound and expressing it as a percentage.
  • In this case; the compound Bi₂E₃

Percentage composition of bismuth = 52.07%

Percentage composition of E = 47.93%

Mass Bismuth in the compound is (2×208.9804) = 417.96 g

Therefore,

To calculate the atomic mass of E

52.07% = 417.96 g

47.93% = ?

            = (47.93 × 417.96 ) ÷ 52.07 %

            = 384.729

         E₃ = 384.729

Therefore; E = 384.729 ÷ 3

                     = 128.24  

The atomic mass of E is 128.24

How many carbon atoms are in 7.05 moles of pyridine
NemiM [27]
First, it is best to know the chemical formula of pyridine which is C5H5N. To determine the number of carbon atoms present in pyridine, multiply 7.05 mol C5H5N with 5 mol C/ 1 mol C5H5N which then results to 35.35 mol of carbon. Then, multiply the answer to Avogadro's number which is 6.022x10^23 atoms. It is then calculated that the number of carbon atoms in 7.05 moles of pyridine is 2.12x10^25 atoms.

A bacteria culture begins with 15 bacteria which double in amount at the end of every hour. Solve for the number of bacteria tha
pshichka [43]
The number of bacteria is given by:
N(t) = N(o) x 2ⁿ
Where N(t) is the number after n hours have passed and N(o) is the original number which is 15.
The number grown in the 12th hour is the difference in the number after the 11th and the 12th hour. Thus:
15 x 2¹² - 15 x 2¹¹
= 30,720 bacteria
