1) determine molar mass of K₃PO₄

$=3(39.10)+30.97+4(16)\\=212.27\ g/mol$

2) determine total mass of potassium atoms in K₃PO₄

$=3(39.10)\\=117.3\ g$

4) divide by molar mass and multiply by 100

$=\frac{117.30}{212.27}$ × $100$

= 55.25981062% (round as you wish)

As a result of the gold foil experiment, it was concluded that an atom(1) contains protons, neutrons, and electrons(2) contains

grin007 [14]

The answer is (2). If you recall Rutherford's gold foil experiment, remember that a stream of positively charged alpha particles were shot at a gold foil in the center of a detector ring. The important observation was that although most of the particles passed straight through the foil without being deflected, a tiny fraction of the alpha particles were deflected off the axis of the shot, and some were even deflected almost back to the point from which they were shot. The fact that some of the alpha particles were deflected indicated a positive charge (because same charges repel), and the fact that only a small fraction of the particles were deflected indicated that the positive charge was concentrated in a small area, probably residing at the center of the atom.

Each of the following names is wrong. Draw structures based on them, and correct the names:(b) 1,1,1-trimethylheptane

devlian [24]

The correct IUPAC name of 1,1,1-trimethylheptane is 2,2-dimethyloctane.

<h3>IUPAC NAME:</h3>

It is systematic way of nomenclature of organic compounds.

It is based on the position of functional groups, preference of the functional group, long or short chain of carbon, preference of double bond, single and triple bond, branching of carbon chain, etc.

The given compound is 1,1,1-trimethylheptane.

The given name is wrong according to IUPAC name because the numbering of carbon atom should be done in that way in which the carbon atom chain is largest.

Here, in this case the numbering is done from right side. Thus the largest carbon chain have 8 carbon atom.

If the numbering is done according to the question, number of carbon atom in straight chain is 7.

Thus, we concluded that the Correct IUPAC name of 1,1,1-trimethylheptane is 2,2-dimethyloctane.
