The elements in the substance are mixtures of their isotopes.

The average atomic mass includes all of the isotopes of that atom which exist in nature. Almost all elements have at least two isotopes which naturally occur. 
Recall that isotopes are atoms with the same atomic number (protons), but a different number of neutrons. Since neutrons contribute the same amount of mass as a proton (1 amu), differing numbers of neutrons will change the mass of the atoms.

Answer:

-191.7°C

Explanation:

P . V = n . R . T

That's the Ideal Gases Law. It can be useful to solve the question.

We replace data:

2.5 atm . 8 L = 3 mol . 0.082 L.atm/mol.K . T°

(2.5 atm . 8 L) / (3 mol . 0.082 L.atm/mol.K) = T°

T° = 81.3 K

We convert T° from K to C°

81.3K - 273 = -191.7°C

We can use two equations for this problem.<span>

t1/2 = ln 2 / λ = 0.693 / λ
Where t1/2 is the half-life of the element and λ is decay constant.

20 days = 0.693 / λ 
λ   = 0.693 / 20 days        (1) 

Nt = Nο eΛ(-λt)                (2)

Where Nt is atoms at t time, No is the initial amount of substance, λ is decay constant and t is the time taken.
t = 40 days</span>

<span>No = 200 g

From (1) and (2),
Nt =  200 g eΛ(-(0.693 / 20 days) 40 days)
<span>Nt = 50.01 g</span></span><span>

</span>Hence, 50.01 grams of isotope will remain after 40 days.

What is the mass of an osmium block that measures 6.70 cm × 9.20 cm × 3.30 cm? The density of osmium is given as 22.610 g/cm3. N
alexira [117]

Answer:

m= 4,599.145 g

Explanation:

Let m = mass, d = density and V = volume of the osmium block.

m = d x V

m = 22.610 g/cm3 x (6.70 x 9.20 x 3.3) cm3

m = 4,599.145 g
