The atomic radius decreases across a period from left to right and increases down a given group. The atoms with the largest atomic radii are located in group l and at the bottom of groups. Moving from left to right across a period, electrons are added one at a time to the outer energy shell. Hope this helps!
Answer:
3.43 %
Explanation:
We need to calculate first the number of moles of CeO2 produced in the combustion. Given its formula we know how many moles of Ce atom are present. From there calculate the mass this number of moles this represent and then one can calculate the percentage.
0.1848 g CeO2 x 1 mol CeO2/172.114g = 0.00107 mol CeO2
0.00107 mol CeO2 x 1 mol Ce/ 1 mol CeO2 = 0.00107 mol Ce
.00107 mol Ce x 140.116 g Ce/ mol = 0.150 g Ce
0.150 g Ce/ 4.3718 g sample x 100 = 3.43 %
