(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
Step by Step Solution
Step 1 of 4
A prefix before each element is used to classify inorganic molecular compounds. The last and the -ide suffixes the more electronegative aspect is written. For starters, dihydrogen monoxide can be termed for water.
(a)
is named as Platinum (IV) oxide.
The atomic mass of platinum = 195.08 a.m.u.
The number of atoms of platinum is 1.
The atomic mass of oxygen = 16.00 a.m.u.
The number of atoms of oxygen in this molecule is 2.
Therefore, the formula mass of is 227.08 amu.
