Answer:

1 mole of platinum (Pt).

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Platinum (Pt) = 117.4 g

Carbon (C) = 28.91 g

Nitrogen (N) = 33.71 g

Number of mole of platinum =?

To obtain the number of mole of platinum present in the compound, we shall determine the empirical formula for the compound. The empirical formula for the compound can be obtained as follow:

Pt = 117.4 g

C = 28.91 g

N = 33.71 g

Divide by their molar mass

Pt = 117.4 /195 = 0.602

C = 28.91 /12 = 2.409

N = 33.71 /14 = 2.408

Divide by the smallest

Pt = 0.602 /0.602 = 1

C = 2.409 /0.602 = 4

N = 2.408 / 0.602 = 4

Therefore, the empirical formula for the compound is PtC₄N₄ => Pt(CN)₄

From the empirical formula for the compound (i.e Pt(CN)₄) we can see that the compound contains 1 mole of platinum (Pt).

What pressure, in atmospheres, is exerted on the body of a diver if he is 38 ft below the surface of the water when atmospheric
Talja [164]

The pressure of diver = atmospheric pressure + water pressure

atmospheric pressure = 750 mmHg (as given) = 750 / 760 atm = 0.987 atm

Water pressure is

P = hρg

where

h = height of water = 38 ft

1 ft = 0.3048

38 ft = 11.58 m

ρ = density  = 1000 Kg / m³

g = gravitational constant  = 9.81 m/s2

P = 11.58 X 1000 X 9.81 = 113599.8 Kg / m s^2 Or N /m^2

1 N / m^2 = 1 pa = 9.869 X 10^-6 atm

P = 113599.8 Pa = 1.12 atm

Total pressure = 1.12 + 0.987 atm = 2.107 atm = 2.1 atm (two significant figures)

Calculate the mass of 4.55x1024 molecules of sucrose
maxonik [38]

Answer:

2584 g

Explanation:

The molecular formula for sucrose is C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁, which means its molar mass is 342.3 g/mol.

First we<u> convert molecules into moles</u> by using <em>Avogadro's number</em>:

  • 4.55x10²⁴ molecules ÷ 6.023x10²³ mol/molecules = 7.55 mol

Now we <u>convert moles of sucrose into grams</u>, using its<em> molar mass</em>:

  • 7.55 mol * 342.3 g/mol = 2584 g
