CO2 = 86.8% Ne = 13.2% First, let's determine the molar mass of CO2 and Ne. Start by looking up the atomic weights of the involved elements. Atomic weight carbon = 12.0107 Atomic weight oxygen =15.999 Atomic weight neon =20.1797 Molar mass CO2 = 12.0107 + 2 * 15.999 = 44.0087 g/mol And the molar mass of neon is the same as the atomic weight since it's a noble gas. Since we know the total number of moles of gas particles is 1.25, let's set up an equation to solve. I'll use X as the number of moles of CO2 and (1.25-X) for the number of moles of neon. So 44.0087X + (1.25-X)*20.1797 = 47.6 And solve for X 44.0087X + (1.25-X)*20.1797 = 47.6 44.0087X + (1.25*20.1797 - 20.1797X = 47.6 44.0087X + 25.224625 - 20.1797X = 47.6 44.0087X - 20.1797X = 47.6 - 25.224625 23.829X = 22.375375 X = 22.375375/23.829 X = 0.93899765 So we now know that there's 0.93899765 moles of CO2 in the gas mixture. So the mass of CO2 is 0.93899765 mol * 44.0087 g/mol = 41.32406588 g And we now have 2 ways to calculate the mass of neon. We can determine the number of moles of neon, then multiple by the atomic weight. Or we can take the total mass of the gas and subtract the mass of CO2. Let's use both methods as a cross check. (1.25 - 0.93899765) * 20.1797 = 0.31100235 * 20.1797 = 6.275934124 g and 47.6 g - 41.32406588 g = 6.275934124 g And both methods match, so we have confidence that the math was done correctly. To get the percentages of each gas, just divide their masses by the total mass. So % CO2 = 41.32406588 / 47.6 = 0.868152644 = 86.8152644% % Ne = 6.275934124 / 47.6 = 0.131847356 = 13.1847356% And the percentages to 3 significant figures are CO2 = 86.8% Ne = 13.2%

Answer from: Quest

- calcium has greater affinity to bond with electron receptors than hydrogen does and hence, it has the ability to replace hydrogen in most of its compounds.

- lithium has 2 valence electrons in the product because it can make only 1 bond with hydrogen. beryllium has 4 valence electrons in the product because it can only make 2 bonds. it has fewer electrons than neon and can react with electron donors. each hydrogen has 2 valence electrons, the same as helium.

- the covalent bond formed between carbon and hydrogen is polar because carbon is more electronegative than hydrogen and it attracts the bonded electron pair closer to itself, thus giving hydrogen a partial positive charge.

- a hydrogen bond is a relatively weak bond that hydrogen atoms make with the electronegative atoms nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine.

so the best choice is a.) 2 calcium (ca) atoms
