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).

Consider the reaction below.

Hey there!

I attached a screenshot of my chemistry notes from this year on equilibrium constants in particular. Feel free to reference this in the future if you wish. 

Based on the information in my attachment, you could construct your constant like this:

K_{eq} =  \frac{[CaO][CO_{2}]}{[CaCO_{3}]}

I don't think it matters which order your reactants or products are in as long as you have them on the top and bottom where they need to be, so your answer will be B. 

Hope this helped you out! :-)
