Calculate the mass of sucrose needed to prepare a 2000 grams of 2.5% sucrose solution.

meriva

Answer:

50 g Sucrose

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Mass of solution: 2000 g

Concentration of the solution: 2.5%

Step 2: Calculate the mass of sucrose needed to prepare the solution

The concentration of the solution is 2.5%, that is, there are 2.5 g of sucrose (solute) every 100 g of solution. The mass of sucrose needed to prepare 2000 g of solution is:

2000 g Solution × 2.5 g Sucrose/100 g Solution = 50 g Sucrose

Write the isotopic symbol for the following (show your work) a) An isotope of iodine whose atoms have 78 neutrons b) An isotope

morpeh [17]

Answer:

For a: The isotopic representation of iodine is $_{53}^{131}\textrm{I}$

For b: The isotopic representation of cesium is $_{55}^{137}\textrm{Cs}$

For c: The isotopic representation of strontium is $_{38}^{52}\textrm{Sr}$

Explanation:

The isotopic representation of an atom is: $_Z^A\textrm{X}$

where,

Z = Atomic number of the atom

A = Mass number of the atom

X = Symbol of the atom

For a:

We are given:

Number of neutrons = 78

Atomic number of iodine = 53 = Number of protons

Mass number = 53 + 78 = 131

Thus, the isotopic representation of iodine is $_{53}^{131}\textrm{I}$

For b:

We are given:

Number of neutrons = 82

Atomic number of cesium = 55 = Number of protons

Mass number = 55 + 82 = 137

Thus, the isotopic representation of cesium is $_{55}^{137}\textrm{Cs}$

For c:

We are given:

Number of neutrons = 52

Atomic number of strontium = 38 = Number of protons

Mass number = 38 + 52 = 90

Thus, the isotopic representation of strontium is $_{38}^{52}\textrm{Sr}$
