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.

Ionic or covalent C2H5OH
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

Covalent  

Explanation:

A molecule of C₂H₅OH has C-C, C-H, C-O, and O-H bonds.

A bond between A and B will be ionic if the difference between their electronegativities (ΔEN) is greater than 1.6.

\begin{array}{ccc}\textbf{Bond} & \textbf{$\Delta$EN} & \textbf{Polarity}\\\text{C-C} & 2.55 - 2.55 = 0.00 & \text{Nonpolar covalent}\\\text{C-H} & 2.55 - 2.20 = 0.35 & \text{Nonpolar covalent}\\\text{C-O} & 3.44 - 2.55 = 0.89 & \text{Polar covalent}\\\text{O-H} & 3.44 - 2.20 = 1.24 & \text{Polar covalent}\\\end{array}

No bond has a large enough ΔEN to be ionic.

C₂H₅OH is a covalent molecule.

Using the following equation 5KNO2+2KMnO4+3H2SO4=5KNO3+2MnSO4+K2SO4+3H20. Starting with 2.47 grams of KNO2 and excess KMnO4 how
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Given equation : 5KNO_{2} + 2KMnO_{4} + 3H_{2}SO_{4}\rightarrow 5KNO_{3} + 2MnSO_{4} + K_{2}SO_{4} + 3H_{2}O

Given information = 2.47 grams KNO2 and excess KMnO4 and we need to find grams of water (H2O).

Since KMnO4 is in excess, so grams of water(H2O) can be calculated using grams of KNO2 with the help of stoichiometry.

To find grams of water(H2O) from grams of KNO2 , we need to follow three steps.

Step 1. Convert 2.47 grams of KNO2 to moles of KNO2.

Moles = \frac{grams}{molar mass}

Molar mass of KNO2 = 85.10 g/mol

Moles = 2.47 gram KNO2\times \frac{1 mol KNO2}{85.10 gram KNO2}

Moles = 0.0290 mol KNO2

Step 2. Convert moles of KNO2 to moles of H2O using mole ratio.

Mole ratio are the coefficient present in front of the compound in the balanced equation.

Mole ratio of KNO2 : H2O is 5 : 3 (5 coefficient of KNO2 and 3 coefficient of H2O)

0.0290 mol KNO2\times \frac{3 mol H2O}{5 mol KNO2}

Mole = 0.0174 mol H2O

Step 3. Convert mole of H2O to grams of H2O

Grams = Moles X molar mass

Molar mass of H2O = 18.00 g/mol

Grams = 0.0174 mol H2O\times \frac{18 g H2O}{1 mol H2O}

Grams of water = 0.313 grams H2O

Summary : The above three steps can also be done in a singe setup as shown below.

2.47 gram KNO2\times \frac{(1 mol KNO2)}{(85.10 gram KNO2)}\times \frac{(3 mol H2O)}{(5 mol KNO2)}\times \frac{(18.00 gram H2O)}{(1mol H2O)}

In the above setup similar units get cancelled out and we will get grams of H2O as 0.313 grams water (H2O)
