Considering the definition of atomic mass, isotopes and atomic mass of an element, sb121 has a percent natural abundance of 0.5726 or 57.26% and sb123 has a percent natural abundance of 0.4284 or 42.84%.

<h3>Definition of atomic mass</h3>

The atomic mass is obtained by adding the number of protons and neutrons in a given nucleus of a chemical element.

<h3>Definition of isotope</h3>

Isotopes are the chemical elements in which atomic numbers are the same, but the number of neutrons is different.

<h3>Definition of atomic mass</h3>

The atomic mass of an element is the weighted average mass of its natural isotopes.

This is, the atomic masses of elements are usually calculated as the weighted average of the masses of the different isotopes of each element, considering the relative abundance of each of them.

<h3>Percent natural abundance of each isotope</h3>

In this case, antimony has two naturally occuring isotopes, sb121 and sb123. You know:

  • sb121 has an atomic mass of 120.9038 u.
  • sb121 has a percent natural abundance of x.
  • sb123 has an atomic mass of 122.9042 u.
  • sb123 has a percent natural abundance of 1 -x (or, what is the same, the abundance is 100% - x%, since both isotopes form 100% of the element.)
  • Antimony has an average atomic mass of 121.7601 u

The average mass of antimony is expressed as:

121.7601 u= 120.9038 u x + 122.9042 u× (1 -x)

Solving:

121.7601 u= 120.9038 u x + 122.9042 u - 122.9042 u x

121.7601 u - 122.9042 u= 120.9038 u x - 122.9042 u x

(-1.1441 u)= (-2.0014) x

(-1.1441 u)÷ (-2.0014)= x

<u><em>0.5726= x or 57.26%</em></u>

So, 1 -x= 1- 0.5716 → <u><em>1-x= 0.4284 or 42.84%</em></u>

<u><em /></u>

Finally, sb121 has a percent natural abundance of 0.5726 or 57.26% and sb123 has a percent natural abundance of 0.4284 or 42.84%.

Why are the elements 57 through 70, and 89 through 102, found separately at the bottom of the Periodic table?
-Dominant- [34]
<span>Elements from 57 to 71 are Lanthanoids and from 89 to 103 are Actinoids. Simply I would say Actinoids have less similarity in chemical properties than Lanthanoids. On the other hands, Actinoids have randomized chemical strutural bonds.</span>

Look at this balanced chemical reaction: N2 + 3H2 2NH3
stepladder [879]

Answer: A mass of 124457.96 g ammonia is produced by reacting a 450 L sample of nitrogen gas at a temperature of 450 K and a pressure of 300 atm.

Explanation:

Given: Volume = 450 L

Temperature = 450 K

Pressure = 300 atm

Using ideal gas equation, moles of nitrogen are calculated as follows.

PV = nRT

where,

P = pressure

V = volume

n = no. of moles

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L atm/mol K

T = tempertaure

Substitute values into the above formula as follows.

PV = nRT\\300 atm \times 450 L = n \times 0.0821 L atm/mol K \times 450 K\\n = \frac{135000}{36.945}\\= 3654.08 mol

According to the given equation, 1 mole of nitrogen forms 2 moles of ammonia. So, moles of ammonia formed by 3654.08 moles of nitrogen is as follows.

2 \times 3654.08 mol\\= 7308.16 mol

As moles is the mass of substance divided by its molar mass. So, mass of ammonia (molar mass = 17.03 g/mol) is as follows.

Moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}\\7308.16 = \frac{mass}{17.03 g/mol}\\mass = 124457.96 g

Thus, we can conclude that a mass of 124457.96 g ammonia is produced by reacting a 450 L sample of nitrogen gas at a temperature of 450 K and a pressure of 300 atm.
