calculate the atomic mass of gallium if gallium has two naturally occurring isotopes with the following massess and natural abun
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer: Atomic mass of gallium = 69.72304093 amu

Explanation:

We calculate the atomic mass of Gallium  by  using  the Relative abundance of the isotopes.

Atomic mass =mass x Natural Abundance of Isotope 1  +mass x Natural Abundance of Isotope 2

(60.11/100 x  68.9256) + (39.89/100 x  70.9247)

= 41.43117816 + 28.29186283 = 69.72304093 amu

If you determine the molar heat of neutralization for an acid is 49.1 kJ/mol and the accepted value is found to be 55.2 kJ/mol,
zhenek [66]

Answer: % Errror = 11.05%

Explanation:

Percentage error is the difference between the measured value and the theoretical value as expressed in percent.

That is;

% Error =

( Theoretical value -measured value) /(Theoretical value) × 100

Theoretical value =55.2kJ

Measured value = 49.1kJ

% Error = (55.2-49.1)/(55.2) ×100

%Error = 6.1/55.2 ×100

% Error = 0.1105 ×100

% Error = 11.05

Therefore the percentage error is 11.05%

How is the oxidation state of a transition metal determined from the chemical formula ?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

In a chemical formula, the oxidation state of transition metals can be determined by establishing the relationships between the electrons gained and that which is lost by an atom.

We know that for compounds to be formed, atoms would either lose, gain or share electrons between one another.

The oxidation state is usually expressed using the oxidation number and it is a formal charge assigned to an atom which is present in a molecule or ion.

To ascertain the oxidation state, we have to comply with some rules:

  • The algebraic sum of all oxidation numbers of an atom in a neutral compound is zero.
  • The algebraic sum of all the oxidation numbers of all atoms in an ion containing more than one kind of atom is equal to  the charge on the ion.

For example, let us find the oxidation state of Cr in Cr₂O₇²⁻

This would be:  2x + 7(-2) = -2

                          x = +6

We see that the oxidation number of Cr, a transition metal in the given ion is +6.

The radius of a strontium atom is 215 pm. How many strontium atoms would have to be laid side by side to span a distance of 2.10
Alex777 [14]

Here we have to get the number of strontium atom needed to be laid side by side to span a distance of 2.10 mm.

9.03×10⁷ number of strontium atoms are needed to cover the distance of 2.10mm.

The radius of the strontium atom is 215 pm, thus the diameter of strontium atom is (2×215) = 430 pm.

Now we know 1 pm is equivalent to 10⁻⁹ mm. Thus 430 pm is equivalent to (430×10⁻⁹) = 4.3×10⁻⁷ mm.

Thus 1 strontium atom can occupy 4.3×10⁻⁷mm of space. Now the distance to be occupied by the lay down of the strontium atom side by side of the span is 2.10 mm.

Hence, \frac{2.10}{4.3}×10⁷ = 9.03×10⁷ number of atoms are needed.
