Answer:

Mass in kg = 4.7*10^19 kg

Mass in tons = 5.2*10^16 tons

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

Total volume of sea water = 1.5*10^21 L

Mass % NaCl in seawater = 3.1%

Density of seawater = 1.03 g/ml

<u>To determine:</u>

Total mass of NaCl in kg and in tons

<u>Calculation:</u>

Unit conversion:

1 L = 1000 ml

The volume of seawater in ml is:

=\frac{1.5*10^{21}L*1000ml }{1L} =1.5*10^{24} ml

Mass\ seawater = Density*volume = 1.03g/ml*1.5*10^{24} ml=1.5*10^{24}g

Mass\ NaCl\ in\ seawater = \frac{3.1}{100}*1.5*10^{24}  g=4.7*10^{22} g

To convert mass from g to Kg:

1000 g = 1 kg

Mass\ seawater(kg) = \frac{4.7*10^{22}g*1kg }{1000g} =4.7*10^{19} kg

To convert mass from g to tons:

1 ton = 9.072*10^6 g

Mass\ seawater(tons) = \frac{4.7*10^{22}g*1ton }{9.072*10^{6}g } =5.2*10^{16} tons

What mass of copper is deposited when a current of 10.0a is passed through a solution of copper(ii) nitrate for 30.6 seconds?
asambeis [7]
Data Given:

Time = t = 30.6 s

Current = I = 10 A

Faradays Constant = F = 96500

Chemical equivalent = e = 63.54/2 = 31.77 g

Amount Deposited = W = ?

Solution:
             According to Faraday's Law,

                                          W  =  I t e / F

Putting Values,
 
                            W  =  (10 A × 30.6 s × 31.77 g) ÷ 96500

                            W  =  0.100 g

Result:
           0.100 g of Cu
²⁺ is deposited.

Copper has two naturally occurring isotopes. Cu−63 has a mass of 62.939 amu and relative abundance of 69.17%.
fiasKO [112]
The answer is 64.907 amu.

The atomic mass of an element is the average of the atomic masses of its isotopes. The relative abundance of isotopes must be taken into consideration, therefore:
atomic mass of copper = atomic mass of isotope 1 * abundance 1 + atomic mass of isotope 2 * abundance 2

We know:
atomic mass of copper = 63.546 amu
The atomic mass of isotope 1 is: 62.939 amu
The abundance of isotope 1 is: 69.17% = 0.6917
The atomic mass of isotope 1 is: x
The abundance of isotope 2: 100% - 69.17% = 30.83% = 0.3083

Thus:
63.546 amu = 62.939 amu * 0.6917 + x * 0.3083
63.546 <span>amu = 43.535 amu + 0.3083x
</span>⇒ 63.546 amu - 43.535 amu = 0.3083x
⇒ 20.011 amu = 0.3083x
   ⇒ x = 20.011 amu ÷ 0.3083 = 64.907 amu
