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).

Which of the following solutions would have the lowest freezing point? 1.0 nacl 3.0 nacl 2.0 nacl or 5.0 nacl
Scilla [17]
The solution that will have the lowest freezing point is 5.0 SODIUM CHLORIDE. 
Adding solute to solvents usually result in the depression of the freezing point. The higher the quantity of the solute that is added, the lower the freezing point of the solution.
