Answer:

Answer:

Potassium Nitride is composed of the greatest number of atoms.

Explanation:

find the number of atoms present in each compound we will write down their molecular formulas and then we will add up the number of atoms present in them.

A: Dinitrogen Monoxide:

Chemical formula of Dinitrogen Monoxide is N₂O. Therefore, it contains two atoms of Nitrogen and one atom of oxygen Hence, in total it contains 3 atoms.

B: Sodium Chloride:

Chemical formula of Sodium Chloride is NaCl. Therefore, it contains one atom of Sodium and one atom of Chlorine Hence, in total it contains 2 atoms.

C: Potassium Nitride:

Chemical formula of Dinitrogen Monoxide is K₃N. Therefore, it contains three atoms of Potassium and one atom of Nitrogen Hence, in total it contains 4 atoms.

D: Carbon Dioxide:

Chemical formula of Carbon Dioxide is CO₂. Therefore, it contains one atom of Carbon and two atoms of Oxygen Hence, in total it contains 3 atoms.

The compound cisplatin, pt(nh3)2cl2 , has been studied extensively as an antitumor agent.

Nataliya [291]

a. Elemental percent composition is the mass percent of each element in the compound.

The formula for mass elemental percent composition = $\frac{mass of element}{mass of compound}$ (1)

The molecular formula of cisplatin is $Pt(NH_3)_2Cl_2$ .

The atomic weight of the elements in cisplatin is:

Platinum, $Pt = 195.084 u$

Nitrogen, $N = 14.0067 u$

Hydrogen, $H = 1 u$

Chlorine, $Cl = 35.453 u$

The molar mass of $Pt(NH_3)_2Cl_2$ = $195.084+ (2\times 14.0067)+(6\times 1)+(2\times 35.453)$ = $300.00 g/mol$

The mass of each element calculated using formula (1):

- Platinum, $Pt$ %

$\frac{195.084}{300.00} \times 100 = 65.23$ %.

- Nitrogen, $N$ %

$\frac{2\times 14.0067}{300.00} \times 100 = 9.34$ %

- Hydrogen, $H$ %

$\frac{6\times 1}{300.00} \times 100 = 2.0$ %

- Chlorine, $Cl$ %

$\frac{2\times 35.453}{300.00} \times 100 = 23.63$ %

b. The given reaction of cisplatin is:

$K_2PtCl_4(aq)+2NH_3(aq)\rightarrow Pt(NH_3)_2Cl_2(s)+2KCl(aq)$

According to the balanced reaction, 1 mole of $K_2PtCl_4$ gives 1 mole of $Pt(NH_3)_2Cl_2$ .

Now, calculating the number of moles of $K_2PtCl_4$ in 100.0 g.

Number of moles = $\frac{given mass}{Molar mass}$

Molar mass of $K_2PtCl_4$ = $2\times 39.0983+195.084+4\times 35.453 = 415.093 g/mol$

Number of moles of $K_2PtCl_4$ = $\frac{100 g}{415.093 g/mol} = 0.241 mole$ .

Since, 1 mole of $K_2PtCl_4$ gives 1 mole of $Pt(NH_3)_2Cl_2$ . Therefore, mass of cisplatin is:

$0.241 mole\times 300 g/mol = 72.3 g$

For mass of $KCl$ :

Molar mass of $KCl$ = $39.0983 + 35.453 = 74.55 g/mol$

Since, 1 mole of $K_2PtCl_4$ gives 2 mole of $KCl$ . Therefore, mass of $KCl$ is:

$0.241 mole\times 74.55 g/mol\times 2 = 35.93 g$

Explanation:

Wind turbines generate electricity by following simple principle. Moving wind transfers energy to the to the blades of the wind mill which results in spinning of the blades. These blades are connected to internal shaft which also starts spinning. This spinning of shaft generates electricity which is further distributed to electrical substations to provide electricity to homes and businesses.

Step 1: Wind moves the blades of the turbine.

Step 2: Internal shaft spins

Step 3: Generator produces electricity

Step 4: Distribution lines carry electricity to substation

in which of the following is the symbol for the ion and the number of electrons it contains given correctly? *

gregori [183]

Answer:Number of electrons that are present in an atom is determined by the electronic configuration of that atom.

If an ion is carrying a positive charge, it means that the atom has lost electrons and if an ion is carrying a negative charge, it means that the atom has gained electrons.

For the given options:

Option A: The atomic number of hydrogen atom is 1 and the electronic configuration for ion will be:

Thus, this atom does not have any electrons.

Option B: The atomic number of bromine atom is 35 and the electronic configuration for ion will be:

Thus, this atom has 36 electrons.

Option C: The atomic number of aluminium atom is 13 and the electronic configuration for ion will be:
