The isotope that is more abundant, given the data is isotope Li7

<h3>Assumption</h3>
  • Let Li6 be isotope A
  • Let Li7 be isotope B

<h3>How to determine whiche isotope is more abundant</h3>
  • Molar mass of isotope A (Li6) = 6.02 u
  • Molar mass of isotope B (Li7) = 7.02 u
  • Atomic mass of lithium = 6.94 u
  • Abundance of A = A%
  • Abundance of B = (100 - A)%

Atomic mass = [(mass of A × A%) / 100] + [(mass of B × B%) / 100]

6.94 = [(6.02 × A%) / 100] + [(7.02 × (100 - A)) / 100]

6.94 = [6.02A% / 100] + [702 - 7.02A% / 100]

6.94 = [6.02A% + 702 - 7.02A%] / 100

Cross multiply

6.02A% + 702 - 7.02A% = 6.94 × 100

6.02A% + 702 - 7.02A% = 694

Collect like terms

6.02A% - 7.02A% = 694 - 702

-A% = -8

A% = 8%

Thus,

Abundance of B = (100 - A)%

Abundance of B = (100 - 8)%

Abundance of B = 92%

SUMMARY

  • Abundance of A (Li6) = 8%
  • Abundance of B (Li7) = 92%

From the above, isotope Li7 is more abundant.

At the same temperature, steam burns are often more severe than water burns because of water's high
MrRa [10]
At the same temperature, steam burns are often more severe that water burns because of water's high HEAT OF VAPORIZATION.
Water possesses high heat of vaporization. The heat of vaporization refers to the amount of heat that is needed to convert a unit mass of water to gas. After getting to the boiling point, a lot of heat is still needed to be absorbed by a boiling water before it can be converted to the gaseous form. Thus, the heat that is inherent in the steam is greater than that which is found in the boiling water, that is why the steam causes more damages.

The acetylene tank contains 35.0 mol C2H2, and the oxygen tank contains 84.0 mol O2.
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:- As per the question is asked, 35.0 moles of acetylene gives 70 moles of carbon dioxide but if we solve the problem using the limiting reactant which is oxygen then 67.2 moles of carbon dioxide will form.

Solution:- The balanced equation for the combustion of acetylene is:

2C_2H_2(g)+5O_2(g)\rightarrow 4CO_2(g)+2H_2O(g)

From the balanced equation, two moles of acetylene gives four moles of carbon dioxide. Using dimensional analysis we could show the calculations for the formation of carbon dioxide by the combustion of 35.0 moles of acetylene.

35.0molC_2H_2(\frac{4molCO_2}{2molC_2H_2})

= 70molCO_2

The next part is, how we choose 35.0 moles of acetylene and not 84.0 moles of oxygen.

From balanced equation, there is 2:5 mol ratio between acetylene and oxygen. Let's calculate the moles of oxygen required to react completely with 35.0 moles of acetylene.

35.0molC_2H_2(\frac{5molO_2}{2molC_2H_2})

= 87.5molO_2

Calculations shows that 87.5 moles of oxygen are required to react completely with 35.0 moles of acetylene. Since only 84.0 moles of oxygen are available, the limiting reactant is oxygen, so 35.0 moles of acetylene will not react completely as it is excess reactant.

So, the theoretical yield should be calculated using 84.0 moles of oxygen as:

84.0molO_2(\frac{4molO_2}{5molO_2})

= 67.2molCO_2
