(a)
Interpretation:
The mass fraction of carbon (C) in cesium acetate is to be calculated.
Concept introduction:
Molar mass is defined as the mass of 1 mol of a chemical substance in grams. The molar mass of a compound is calculated by the addition of the molar mass of each element multiplied by its number of atoms present in the chemical formula.
The mass fraction of an element in a compound is defined as the ratio of the sum of the masses of all the atoms of that element to that of the mass of one mole of compound.
The steps to calculate the mass fraction of an element are as follows:
Step 1: Determine the molar mass and the formula of the compound. From the formula, determine the relative number of moles of each element. To determine the mass fraction of an element, calculate its total mass. The formula to calculate the total mass of an element A present in the compound is as follows:
Total mass of A=(Moles of A in formula)(Molar mass of A in g/mol) (1)
Step 2: To calculate the mass fraction of an element A, take the ratio of the total mass of element A and the mass of one mole of compound. The formula to calculate the mass fraction of an element A is as follows:
Mass fraction of A=Total mass of A (g)Mass of 1 mol compound (g) (2)
(b)
Interpretation:
The mass fraction of oxygen (O) in uranyl sulfate trihydrate is to be calculated.

- Show that a molecule with configuration π4 has a cylindrically symmetric electron distribution. Hint: Let the π orbitals be equal to xf and yf, where f is a function that depends only on the distance from the internuclear axis.arrow_forward(a) Verify that the lattice energies of the alkali metal iodides are inversely proportional to the distances between the ions in MI (M = alkali metal) by plotting the lattice energies given below against the internuclear distances dMI. Is the correlation good? Would a better fit be obtained by plotting the lattice energies as a function of (1 — d*/d)/d, as theoretically suggested, with d* = 34.5 pm? You must use a standard graphing program to plot the graph. It generates an equation for the line and calculates a correlation coefficient. (b) From the graph obtained in (a), estimate the lattice energy of silver iodide. (c) Compare the results of (b) with the experimental value of 886 kJ/mol. If they do not agree, explain the deviation.arrow_forwardCan I please get help with #3 & 4? Thanks you so much!arrow_forward
