There are 2 isotopes of the fictional element Nz: Isotope 51 and Isotope 55. The average atomic mass of the fictional element Nz

is 52.21 amu.
What is the percent abundance of Isotope 51?


What is the percent abundance of Isotope 55?


If we had 63 atoms of element Nz (and remember you can't have just half of an atom):


How many of those atoms would likely be Isotope 51?


How many of those atoms would likely be Isotope 55?

The percentage abundance of Nz- 51 and Nz- 55 are 69.8 % and 30.2% respectively.

<h3>What is the percentage abundance of the isotopes?</h3>

We know that an isotope of an element has to do with atoms that have the same atomic number but the atomic masses of the atoms does differ. In this case, we have two isotopes Nz - 51 and Nz -55. We have the relative atomic mass of the elements as  52.21 amu.

Let the percentage abundance of Nz - 51 be x and the percentage abundance of Nz -55 be 1 - x.

52.21 = 51x + 55(1 - x)

52.21 = 51x + 55 - 55x

52.21  - 55 = 51x   - 55x

-2.79 = -4x

x = 0.698

Thus;

Percentage abundance of Nz - 51  = 0.698 or 69.8 %

Percentage abundance of Nz - 55 = 1 - 0.698 or 30.2 %

If I have 63 atoms

Number with isotope Nz - 51  =  0.698 * 63 = 44 atoms

Number with isotope Nz - 55 = 0.302 * 63 = 19 atoms

A gas has a volume of 3.25 liters at 54 C and 231 kPa of pressure. At what temperature will the same gas take up 4.35 liters of
Firdavs [7]

Answer: 318 K

Explanation:

Combined gas law is the combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay-Lussac's law.

The combined gas equation is,

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of gas = 231 kPa

P_2 = final pressure of gas = 168 kPa

V_1 = initial volume of gas = 3.25 L

V_2 = final volume of gas = 4.35 L

T_1 = initial temperature of gas = 54^oC=273+54=327K

T_2 = final temperature of gas = ?

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

\frac{231\times 3.25}{327}=\frac{168\times 4.35}{T_2}

T_2=318K

At 318 K of temperature will the same gas take up 4.35 liters of space and have a pressure of 168 kPa

The Spirit of America Goodyear blimp has a volume of 2.027×105 ft3.When the blimp is in operation, it is filled with helium gas.
Andru [333]
Answer: 1.027 x 10^6 g= 1027kg
In this question, you are given the volume of the blimp (2.027×10^5 ft^3) and the density of the gas(0.179g/L). To answer this question, you need to convert the volume unit into liter. The calculation would be: 2.027×10^5 ft^3 x 28.3168L/ft3= 57.398 x 10^5L= 5.74x10^6L

Then to find the mass, multiply the volume with the density. The calculation would be: 5.74x10^6L x 0.179g/L= 1.027 x 10^6 g= 1027kg
