This problem is very easy to answer. You simply have to look at the subscripts of each element of the compound.
1. For caffeine, which has a molecular formula of C₈H₁₀N₄O₂, it contains 8 atoms of Carbon, 10 atoms of Hydrogen, 4 atoms of Nitrogen and 2 atoms of Oxygen.
2. For Iron(III) Sulfate, which has a molecular formula of Fe₂(SO₄)₃, it contains 2 atoms of Iron, 3 atoms of Sulfur, and 12 atoms of Oxygen.
Answer:
N2
Explanation:
Rate of effusion is defined by Graham's Law:
(Rate 1/Rate 2) = (sqrt (M2)/ sqrt (M1))
(Where M is the molar mass of each substance. )
Molar Mass of oxygen, O2, is 32 (M1).
Rate of effusion of O2 to an unknown gas is .935(Rate 1).
Rate 2 is unknown so put 1.
Solve for x (M2).
.935/1 = sqrt x/ sqrt32
.935 x sqrt 32 = sqrt x
5.29 = sq rt x
5.29^2 = 27.975 = 28
N2 has a molar mass of 28 so it is the correct gas.
Cr2(CO3)3 is Chromium (III) Carbonate or Chromic Carbonate.
It is composed of Chromium, Carbon, and Oxygen. Chromium has 2 atoms, Carbon has 3 atoms, and Oxygen has 9 atoms.
This compound is composed of 36.6% Chromium, 12.7% Carbon, and 50.7% Oxygen.
C. Sn (tin) is a metal, Si (silicon) is a metalloid, and C (carbon) is a nonmetal
