1) Find the number of molecules in 7.88 g of sulfur

molar mass of S8 = 8*atomic mass of S = 8 * 32.0 g / mol = 256.0 g/mol

Number of moles  = mass in grams / atomic mass = 7.88 g / 256.0 g / mol = 0.0308 moles

2) Find the mass of 0.0308 moles of P4

mass = number of moles * molar mass

molar mass of P4 = 4 * atomic mass of P = 4 * 31 g/mol = 124 g/mol

mass of P4 = 0.0308 moles * 124 g/mol = 3.8192g ≈ 3.82 g.

Answer: 3.82 grams of P4 will have the same number of molecules as 7.88 g of S8 (that is 0.0308 moles of molecules)

The empirical formula of a gaseous fluorocarbon is CF2. At a certain temperature and pressure, a 1-L volume holds 8.93 g of this
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

C₄F₈

Explanation:

Using their mole ratio to compute their mass

molar mass of carbon = 12.0107 g/mol

molar mass of fluorine gas = 37.99681

let x = mass of carbon

given mass of fluorine = 1.70 g

x / 12.01067 = 1.70 / 37.99687

cross multiply

x = ( 1.70 × 12) / 37.99687 = 20.4 / 37.99687 = 0.53688 g

mass of one mole of CF₂ = 0.53688 + 1.70 = 2.23688 g

number of mole of CF₂ = 8.93 g / 2.23688 = 3.992 approx 4

molecular formula of CF₂ = 4 (CF₂) = C₄F₈

The recommended daily intake of potassium ( K ) is 4.725 g . The average raisin contains 3.513 mg K . Fill in the denominators o
kondor19780726 [428]

Explanation:

It is known that 1 gram contains 1000 milligrams. And, mathematically we can represent it as follows.

             \frac{1 g}{1000 mg} or \frac{1000 mg}{1 g}

So, when we have to convert grams into milligrams then we simply multiply the digit with 1000. And, if we have to convert a digit from milligrams to grams then we simply divide it by 1000.

A sample of fluorine gas is confined in a 5.0-L container at 0.432 atm and 37 °C. How many moles of gas are in this sample?
Ahat [919]

Answer:

About 0.08486 moles

Explanation:

PV=nRT, when P is the pressure in atmospheres, V is the volume in liters, n is the number of moles, R is the universal gas constant, and T is the temperature in Kelvin.

0.432 \cdot 5= n \cdot 0.0821 \cdot 310

n\approx 0.08486 moles

Hope this helps!

A certain isotope x2+ contains 48 electrons and 75 neutrons. what is the mass number for this element?
gulaghasi [49]
The most important identity of an element is its atomic number or number of protons. Electrons and neutrons may vary, but protons stay constant. To start with, when an element is neutral, the number of protons and electrons are equal. When the isotope is a positive ion, that means that the element gives away 2 electrons. So, if the electrons is 48, then that means it was originally 48 - 2 = 46 electrons. From the periodic table, element 46 is Palladium (Pd).

Which monatomic ions would you expect radium (z = 88) and selenium (z = 34) to form?
makvit [3.9K]

1) Radium will form Ra²⁺ ions, because it is metal with two valence electrons (7s²) and it will lost two electrons to have electric configuration like noble gas radon (Z=86).

Electroic configuration of radium atom:

₈₈Ra 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶3d¹⁰4s²4p⁶4d¹⁰4f¹⁴5s²5p⁶5d¹⁰6s²6p⁶7s².

2) Selenium wil form Se²⁻ ions, because it is nonmetal and it has six valence electrons (4s²4p⁴), it will gain two electrons to have electron configuration like noble gas krypton (Z=36).

Electronic configuration of selenium atom: ₃₄Se 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶3d¹⁰4s²4p⁴.
