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 is true about the pH values of a 1.0 M solution of HCl (a strong acid) and a 1.0 M solution of HC2H3O2 (a weak acid)?
Neko [114]

Answer:

C. pH values are different because the HC_2H_3O_2 solution partially ionizes and the HCl solution ionizes 100 percent.

Explanation:

Strong acids are the acids which completely ionizes in the solution while weak acids are the acids which ionizes partially in the solution. They exists in equilibrium in the solution with their respective ions.

Thus, strong acids furnish greater concentration of protons as compared to weak acid when same concentration of both types are taken.

<u>Also, pH is the negative of the logarithm  of the hydrogen ions. Thus, hydrogen ion concentration for both acids are different and thus pH will be different.</u>

Is nac1 (table salt) dissolve with water a chemical or physical change quizet?
tia_tia [17]
Physical. When you simply desolve something with water, to don't actually change it. This action can be undone.
An example of a chemical reaction is when the cells within completely change. You you burn wood, you can't go back in time and un-burn it. Does that make sense?

Which two statements describe what happens to the nuclei of atoms during a fusion reaction? O A. Large nuclei break apart into t
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

D. Nuclei with small masses combine to form nuclei with larger masses.

B. A small amount of mass in the nuclei that combine is converted to energy

Explanation:

A nuclear fusion, in contrary to fission, is the process by which the nuclei of two atoms combine to form a much larger atom with a large nuclei. Likewise, during a fusion reaction, a large amount of energy is released from the small amount of mass in the nuclei (two) that combines.

According to this question, the following are true of a fusion reaction:

- Nuclei with small masses combine to form nuclei with larger masses.

- A small amount of mass in the nuclei that combine is converted to enormous energy.

nikdorinn [45]
To fully understand the problem, we use the ICE table to identify the concentration of the species. We calculate as follows:

Ka = 2.0 x 10^-9 = [H+][OBr-] / [HOBr] 

HOBr  = 0.50 M 
KOBr  = 0.30 M = OBr-

<span>     HOBr + H2O <-> H+ + OBr- </span>
<span>I     0.50        -              0          0.30 </span>
<span>C       -x                        x             x 
</span>---------------------------------------------
<span>E(0.50-x)                    x       (0.30+x) </span>

<span>Assuming that the value of  x is small as compared to 0.30 and 0.50 </span>

How many moles of hydrogen atoms are there in one mole of C6H12O2
zvonat [6]

In 1 molecule of the compound C₆H₁₂O₂ there are 12 moles of hydrogen atoms

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

C₆H₁₂O₂ compound

Required

moles of Hydrogen

Solution

In a compound, there is a mole ratio of the constituent elements.

The empirical formula is the smallest comparison of atoms of compound forming elements.  

A molecular formula is a formula that shows the number of atomic elements that make up a compound.  

In the C₆H₁₂O₂ compound, there are 3 forming elements: C, H and O

The number of each element is indicated by its subscript

C: 6 moles

H = 12 moles

O = 2 moles
