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 would the expected temperature change be (in Fahrenheit) ida 0.5 gran sample of water released 50.1 J of heat energy? The s
Mariana [72]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

23.95 °C

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given;

  • Mass of the sample is 0.5 gram
  • Quantity of heat released as 50.1 Joules
  • Specific heat capacity is 4.184 J/g°C

We are required to calculate the change in temperature;

  • Quantity of heat absorbed is given by the formula;
  • Q = mass × specific heat capacity × Change in temperature

That is, Q = mcΔT

Rearranging the formula;

ΔT = Q ÷ mc

Therefore;

ΔT = 50.1 J ÷ (0.5 g × 4.184 J/g°C)

    = 23.95 °C

Therefore, the expected change in temperature is 23.95 °C

This stadium can hold 100,000, or 1 x 105, people. The number of atoms in a grain of iron is about 1 x 1018. Would you need 1 x
dybincka [34]

Answer:

1 x 10^13 stadiums

Explanation:

We are given that;

1 stadium holds = 1 × 10^5 people

Number of iron atoms is 1 × 10^18 atoms

Assuming the stadium would carry an equivalent number of atoms as people.

Then, 1 stadium will carry 1 × 10^5 atoms

Therefore,

To calculate the number of stadiums that can hold 1 × 10^18 atoms we divide the total number of atoms by the number of atoms per stadium. Number of stadiums = Total number of atoms ÷ Number of atoms per stadium

= 1 × 10^18

atoms ÷ 1 × 10^5 atoms/stadium =

1 × 10^13 Stadiums

Thus, 1 × 10^18 atoms would occupy 1 × 10^13 stadiums
