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).

Suppose you could watch radioactive atoms decay. It would probably get quite boring as time went by. Why?
kari74 [83]

Answer: the answer should and most definitely be D.

Explanation: I mean think about it after a while only a few radioactive nuclei are left which means it will dye down after a while which also makes it very boring hope this helps :)

What is the pH of pure water at 40.0°C if the Kw at this temperature is 2.92 - 10-147 OA) 6.767 O B) 0 465 O c) 7.000 OD) 7 233
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

PH= 6.767     (answer is the A option)

Explanation:

first we need to correct the value in Kw at this temperature is 2.92*10^-14

so, in this case we have that:

Kw=2.92*10^-14 M²

[ H3O^+] [ H3O^+]

[H_{3}O^{+}  ] [OH^{-}  ] = Kw = 2.92*10^{-14} M^{2}   \\\\

at 40ºC

[H_{3}O^{+}  ] = [OH^{-}  ]

[H_{3}O^{+}  ]^{2} = 2.92*10^{-14} M^{2}

[H_{3}O^{+}  ] = (2.92*10^{-14})^{1/2} = 1.71*10^{-7} M

PH= -log10[H_{3}O^{+}  ] = -log10(1.71*10^{-7} ) = 6.767
