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).

At constant pressure, density of gas is inversely proportional to its temperature. This is how hot air balloon is floating in ai
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

1.08 g/L is the density of air.

Explanation:

Pressure of the gas = P (atm)

Volume of the gas = V (L)

Moles of gas = n = \frac{w(g)}{M(g/mol)}

Temperature of the gas = T (K)

PV=nRt

PV=\frac{w}{M}\times RT

PM=\frac{w}{V}RT=DRT

where:

D = density of the gas = \frac{Mass}{Volume}

R = universal gas constant

w = Mass of the gas

M =Molar mass of the gas

Given = P = 1.0 atm , T = 54°C = 327.15 K

Average molar mass of the gas = 29 g/mol

Putting all the given values in above equation.

1 atm\times 29 g/mol=D\times 0.0821 atm L/mol K\times 327.15 K

D=\frac{1 atm\times 29 g/mol}{0.0821 atm L/mol K\times 327.15 K}

D = 1.08 g/L

1.08 g/L is the density of air.

Boiling point vs melting point
erik [133]

Answer: ✅

The main difference between boiling point and melting point is that the melting point is defined as the temperature at which solid and liquid phases are in equilibrium, whereas the boiling point is the temperature at which the vapour pressure of a liquid is equal to the external pressure.

zysi [14]

E

All the other chices give evidence that supports that hypothesisthat the Moon was made of material that was flung off Earth during a time when it was rapidly spinning.

Explanation:

There is an enormous amount of similarities between the minerals in the moon rocks and the rocks on earth, except that for some minerals, like potassium, their quantities are higher on the earth than on the moon.

However, there is still supports for the evidence (by the other choices) that the moon was made from a piece of earth ejected from asteroid impact in primordial earth.Explanation:It’s believed that more than 3.5 billion years during the formation of earth and before it had cooled there were frequent asteroid impacts and one enormous collision ejected a large piece of molten earth into space but within earth’s gravity influence. This piece formed the moon. Evidence of asteroid impacts are frozen in time on the moon surface thanks to the fact that the moon has no atmosphere or tectonic plates movements that wipe off this ‘evidence’.
