Answer:

1 mole of platinum

Explanation:

To obtain the number of mole(s) of platinum present, we need to determine the empirical formula for the compound.

The empirical formula for the compound can be obtained as follow:

Platinum (Pt) = 117.4 g

Carbon (C) = 28.91 g

Nitrogen (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

The empirical formula for the compound is PtC₄N₄ => Pt(CN)₄

From the formula of the compound (i.e Pt(CN)₄), we can see clearly that the compound contains 1 mole of platinum.

Propose a mechanism for the following reaction.
raketka [301]
First, recognize that this is an elimination reaction in which hydroxide must leave and a double bond must form in its place. It is likely an E2 reaction. Here is an efficient mechanism:
1) Pre-reaction: Protonate the -OH to make it a good leaving group, water. H2SO4 or any strong H+ donor works. The water is positively charged but still connected to the compound.
2) E2: Use a sterically hindered base, such as tert-butoxide (tButO-) to abstract the hydrogen from the secondary carbon. [You want a sterically hindered base because a strong, non-sterically hindered base could also abstract a hydrogen from one of the two methyl groups on the tertiary carbon, and that leads to unwanted products, which is not efficient]. As the proton of hydrogen is abstracted, water leaves at the same time, creating an intermediate tertiary carbocation, and the 2 electrons in the C-H bond immediately are used to make a double bond towards the partial positive charge.
In the products we see the major product and water, as expected. Even though you have an intermediate, remember that an E2 mechanism technically happens in one step after -OH protonation.
