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).

For each molecule, specify the polarity of the bonds and the overall polarity of the molecule.
olasank [31]
Each Be–Cl bond is polar because the two atoms have different electronegativities. The number of outer atoms (2) and lone pairs on the central atom (0) indicate that this molecule has a linear geometry. The bonds in a linear molecule are symmetric, and so their dipoles cancel out.

Each O–H bond is polar because the two atoms have different electronegativities. The number of outer atoms (2) and lone pairs on the central atom (2) indicate that this molecule has a bent geometry. The bonds in a bent molecule are asymmetric, and so their dipoles do not cancel out. In addition, the asymmetric arrangement of the lone pairs on O further contribute to the dipole of this molecule.

An O–O or O=O bond is nonpolar because the two atoms have the same electronegativity. Because there is no overall polarity in O2, the molecule is nonpolar.

PLEASE HELP ASAP TAKING A TEST!
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

As a substance changes from a solid to a liquid to a gas, its molecules first the molecules are moving fast enough, they are able to "escape." They leave the surface of the liquid as gas molecules. Evaporation is not the only process that can change a substance from a liquid to a gas. The same change can occur through boiling.

Determine the vapor pressure (atm) of rubbing alcohol (isopropanol) at 20.0 °C. The normal boiling point of isopropanol is 82.3
jeyben [28]
Here we apply the Clausius-Clapeyron equation:
ln(P₁/P₂) = ΔH/R x (1/T₂ - 1/T₁)

The normal vapor pressure is 4.24 kPa (P₁)
The boiling point at this pressure is 293 K (P₂)
The heat of vaporization is 39.9 kJ/mol (ΔH)
We need to find the vapor pressure (P₂) at the given temperature 355.3 K (T₂)

ln(4.24/P₂) = 39.9/0.008314 x (1/355.3 - 1/293)
P₂ = 101.2 kPa
