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).

The solubility of copper(i) chloride is 3.91 mg per 100.0 ml of solution. calculate ksp for cucl (cucl=99.00 g mol-1).
garri49 [273]
Convert  Mg  to  grams
1g =1000mg  what  about  3.91  Mg
=  3.91mg  x  1g/1000mg=  3.91  x10^-3 g
moles= mass/molar mass
that  is  3.91  x10^-3g  /99 g/mol=3.95 x10^-5moles
concentration=   moles  /  vol   in  liters

that  is  3.95  x10^-5/100  x1000=  3.94  x10^-4M

equation for  dissociation  of  CUCl=   CUCl---->  CU^+   +Cl^-

Ksp=(CU+)(CI-)
that  is  (3.95  x10^-4)(3.95  x10^-4)
Ksp=  1.56  x10^-7

Fluorine has an atomic number of 9, how many electron shells does it have?
aleksandr82 [10.1K]
2 shells because if you do the electronic configuration: 
 2,7 which adds up to 9
7 stands for the group it in and it also stands for how many electrons are in the outer shell.
the amount of spaces stands for which period its in therefore it in period 2
