Copper has two naturally occurring isotopes, ⁶³Cu (isotopic mass = 62.9296 amu) and ⁶⁵Cu (isotopic mass = 64.9278 amu). If copper has an atomic mass of 63.546 amu,

Abundance of ⁶³Cu and ⁶⁵Cu ; 70% , 30.848%

<h3>Calculation : </h3>

Let the natural abundance of  63,  Cu isotope be x%.

The natural abundance of  

65

Cu isotope will be 100−x.

The average atomic weight is 63.546 g.

Hence, 100×63.546=63x+65(100−x)

6354.6=63x+6500−65x=6500−2x

2x=145.4

x=72.7≃70

Hence, the natural abundance of the  63Cu isotope must be approximately 70%.

For the ⁶⁵Cu calculation is same and the answer is 30.848%

<h3>What is isotope ?</h3>

Isotopes are members of a family of elements that all have the same number of protons and different numbers of neutrons. The number of protons in the nucleus determines the atomic number of an element on the periodic table.

Example : Magnesium has three natural isotopes : ²⁴Mg, ²⁵Mg, and ²⁶Mg.

<h3>What is Atomic mass ?</h3>

Atomic mass is the mass of an atom. The SI unit of mass is the kilogram, while atomic mass is often expressed in the non-SI unit dalton (synonymous with uniform atomic mass unit). 1 Da is defined as 1/12 the mass of a free carbon-12 atom at rest in the ground state.

Rank these compounds by their expected boiling point? CH4 CH3Cl CH3OH? Lowest to highest; 10+ for the best explanation. Thank yo
docker41 [41]
Methane, CH4, would have the lowest boiling point among the three since it has the lowest number of carbon and has no functional groups. Methanol would have the highest boiling point since it has a functional group which contains hydrogen bonding which much stronger than the one in CH3Cl. Hope this helps.<span />

The theoretical yield of a reaction is the amount of product obtained if the limiting reactant is completely converted to produc
Elis [28]

Answer: 9.9 grams

Explanation:

To calculate the moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}

a) moles of H_2

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{8.150g}{2g/mol}=4.08moles

b) moles of C_2H_4

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{9.330g}{28g/mol}=0.33moles

H_2(g)+C_2H_4(g)\rightarrow C_2H_6(g)

According to stoichiometry :

1 mole of C_2H_4 combine with 1 mole of H_2

Thus 0.33 mole of C_2H_4 will combine with =\frac{1}{1}\times 0.33=0.33 mole of H_2

Thus C_2H_4 is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product.

As 1 mole of C_2H_4 give =  1 mole of C_2H_6

Thus 0.33 moles of C_2H_4 give =\frac{1}{1}\times 0.33=0.33moles  of C_2H_6

Mass of C_2H_6=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.33moles\times 30g/mol=9.9g

Thus theoretical yield (g) of C_2H_6 produced by the reaction is 9.9 grams

Ammonium chloride is used as an expectorant in cough medicine. It has a density of 1.53 g/cm^3. What is the mass of 26.0L of thi
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

                     39.78 Kg

Explanation:

Data Given;

                  Density  =  1.53 g/cm³

                  Mass  =  <u>??</u>

                  Volume  =  26.0 L  =  26000 cm³

Formula Used;

                       The measure of mass per unit volume is called as density. It is a physical property of a substance and tells how tightly the particles are packed. Mathematically;

                  Density  =  Mass ÷ Volume

Solving for Mass,

                  Mass  =  Volume × Density

Putting values,

                  Mass  =  26000 cm³ × 1.53 g.mL⁻¹

                  Mass  =  39780 g  or   39.78 Kg

Is the following a redox reaction? Explain.<br> NH₃(aq) + HCl(aq) → NH₄Cl(aq)
jeyben [28]

The process is not a redox reaction.

The reaction between ammonia (NH_{3} )and hydrochloric acid (HCl) to produce ammonium chloride (NH_{4} Cl) has modified the oxidation number of no atom in the reactants. As a base, ammonia interacts easily with hydrochloric acid to produce ammonium chloride salt. A neutralization reaction between an acid and a base is what the described process is, and it is NOT a redox reaction.

A reaction is referred to as a redox reaction if two or more reactants belonging to a single reaction exchange one or more electrons, i.e., one reactant releases one or more additional electrons while the other obtains one or additional electrons. The reacted substance that releases electrons is oxidized and becomes a reducing substance. A reduced oxidizing agent is the reactant that accepts electrons.

Nitrogen ion (Nitride) is ... Cation/Anion/Neither? # of protons? # of electrons? Charge (1-, 2-, 3-, 1+, 2+, 3+, or 0) Number o
OLga [1]

Answer:

3- is the charge and 8 dots on its Lewis dot structure.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since nitrogen is an element with five valence electrons (electrons on its outer shell), we infer that it needs three bonds to complete the octet, for which its charge, when forming nitride ions is 3-, which means it has received three electrons. Thus, when drawing the Lewis dot structure, it is evident that is will have 5+3 = 8 dots due to the electron reception.

Regards!
