The average atomic mass of tellurium, calculated from its eight isotopes (Te-120 (0.09%), Te-122 (2.46%), Te-123 (0.87%), Te-124 (4.61%), Te-125 (6.99%), Te-126 (18.71%), Te-128 (31.79%), and Te-130 (34.48%)) is 127.723 amu.

The average atomic mass of Te can be calculated as follows:

A = m_{Te-120}\%_{Te-120} + m_{Te-122}\%_{Te-122} + m_{Te-123}\%_{Te-123} + m_{Te-124}\%_{Te-124} + m_{Te-125}\%_{Te-125} + m_{Te-126}\%_{Te-126} + m_{Te-128}\%_{Te-128} + m_{Te-130}\%_{Te-130}

Where:

m: is the mass

%: is the abundance percent

Knowing all the masses and abundance values, we have:

A = 120*0.09\% + 122*2.46\% + 123*0.87\% + 124*4.61\% + 125*6.99\% + 126*18.71\% + 128*31.79\% + 130*34.48\%

To find the <u>average atomic mass</u> we need to change all the <u>percent values</u> to <u>decimal ones</u>

A = 120*9 \cdot 10^{-4} + 122*2.46 \cdot 10^{-2} + 123*8.7\cdot 10^{-3} + 124*4.61 \cdot 10^{-2} + 125*6.99\cdot 10^{-2} + 126*0.1871 + 128*0.3179 + 130*0.3448 = 127.723

Therefore, the average atomic mass of tellurium is 127.723 amu.

Which describes a way to speed up the collisions between hydrogen and oxygen molecules to produce more water?

<span>Equation:2H2(g) + O2(g) → 2H2O(g)

Smaller container means less volume, and the molecules will hit the walls of the container more frequently because there's less space available and the pressure will go up. I guess this would mean that the side with fewer moles would be favored as a result. We count the number of moles on the reactants and products and find that there are fewer moles on the product side, so I guess this would favor the product formation.

1 Ammonia, NH3, reacts with incredibly strong bases to produce the amide ion, NH2 -. Ammonia can also react with acids to produc
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

a) ammonium ion

b) amide ion

Explanation:

The order of decreasing bond angles of the three nitrogen species; ammonium ion, ammonia and amide ion is NH4+ >NH3> NH2-. Next we need to rationalize this order of decreasing bond angles from the valence shell electron pair repulsion (VSEPR) theory perspective.

First we must realize that all three nitrogen species contain a central sp3 hybridized carbon atom. This means that a tetrahedral geometry is ideally expected. Recall that the presence of lone pairs distorts molecular structures from the expected geometry based on VSEPR theory.

The amide ion contains two lone pairs of electrons. Remember that the presence of lone pairs causes greater repulsion than bond pairs on the outermost shell of the central atom. Hence, the amide ion has the least H-N-H bond angle of about 105°.

The ammonia molecule contains one lone pair, the repulsion caused by one lone pair is definitely bless than that caused by two lone pairs of electrons hence the bond angle of the H-N-H bond in ammonia is 107°.

The ammonium ion contains four bond pairs and no lone pair of electrons on the outermost nitrogen atom. Hence we expect a perfect tetrahedron with bond angle of 109°.
