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).

How does reactants in photosynthesis combine to make atoms molecules
balu736 [363]

Answer:

hope this helps

Explanation:

Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that, through cellular respiration, can later be released to fuel the organism's metabolic activities. This chemical energy is stored in carbohydrate molecules, such as sugars, which are synthesized from carbon dioxide and water – hence the name photosynthesis, from the Greek phos, "light", and sunthesis "putting together". In most cases, oxygen is also released as a waste product. Most plants, algae, and cyanobacteria perform photosynthesis; such organisms are called photoautotrophs. Photosynthesis is largely responsible for producing and maintaining the oxygen content of the Earth's atmosphere, and supplies most of the energy necessary for life on Earth.

Calculate the number of milliliters of 0.710 M Ba(OH)2 required to precipitate all of the Mn2+ ions in 161 mL of 0.796 M KMnO4 s
USPshnik [31]

<u>Answer:</u> The volume of barium hydroxide is 183 mL.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the moles of cadmium nitrate, we use the equation:

\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}       .....(1)

Molarity of MnSO_4 = 0.796 M

Volume of MnSO_4 = 161 mL = 0.161 L   (Conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL)

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.796mol/L=\frac{\text{Moles of }MnSO_4}{0.161L}\\\\\text{Moles of }MnSO_4=0.13mol

The chemical equation for the reaction of manganese sulfate and barium hydroxide follows:

MnSO_4(aq.)+Ba(OH)_2(aq.)\rightarrow Mn(OH)_2(s)+BaSO_4(aq.)

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of manganese sulfate reacts with 1 mole of barium hydroxide.

So, 0.13 moles of manganese sulfate will react with = \frac{1}{1}\times 0.13=0.13mol of barium hydroxide

Now, calculating the volume of barium hydroxide by using equation 1, we get:

Moles of barium hydroxide = 0.13 moles

Molarity of barium hydroxide = 0.710 M

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.710mol/L=\frac{0.13mol}{\text{Volume of barium hydroxide}}\\\\\text{Volume of barium hydroxide}=0.183L

Converting this into milliliters, we use the conversion factor:

1 L = 1000 mL

So, 0.183L=0.183\times 1000=183mL

Hence, the volume of barium hydroxide is 183 mL.
