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).

Slicing an average loaf of bread gives 13 medium thickness slices. Each slice of bread is to be coated with 0.0500 oz of mayonna
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

36 loaves of bread and 18.48 ounces of mayonnaise are needed to make all of the sandwiches.

Explanation:

Number of slices of ham = 231

Given that each sandwich has 1 slice of ham.

Then 231 slices of ham will be in :

1\times 231 =231 sandwiches

A single sandwich is made up of 2 bread slices , Then bread slices in 231 sandwiches will be :

231\times 2=462

Each bread slice is applied with 0.0500 ounce of mayonnaise.

Then 462 bread slices will have :

462\times 0.0500 ounces=18.48 Oz

1 bread loaf = 13 bread slices

Then breads loves in 462  bread slices :

\frac{462}{13}=35.54\approx 36

36 loaves of bread and 18.48 ounces of mayonnaise are needed to make all of the sandwiches.

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

The expression to calculate the mass of the reactant is m = \frac{1.080kJ}{31.2kJ/g}

Explanation:

<em>The amount of heat released is equal to the amount of heat released per gram of reactant times the mass of the reactant.</em> To keep to coherence between units we need to transform 1,080 J to kJ. We do so with proportions:

1,080J.\frac{1kJ}{10^{3}J } =1.080kJ

Then,

1.080kJ=31.2\frac{kJ}{g} .m\\m = \frac{1.080kJ}{31.2kJ/g}
