Answer:

Average atomic mass of carbon = 12.01 amu.

Explanation:

Given data:

Abundance of C¹² = 98.89%

Abundance of C¹³ = 1.11%

Atomic mass of C¹² = 12.000 amu

Atomic mass of C¹³ = 13.003 amu

Average atomic mass = ?

Solution:

Average atomic mass of carbon = (abundance of 1st isotope × its atomic mass) +(abundance of 2nd isotope × its atomic mass) / 100

Average atomic mass of carbon = (12.000×98.89)+(13.003×1.11) /100

Average atomic mass of carbon= 1186.68 + 14.43333 / 100

Average atomic mass of carbon = 1201.11333 / 100

Average atomic mass of carbon = 12.01 amu.

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

The mass of heavier isotope is 345.6 amu.

Explanation:

Given data:

atomic wight of compound = 342.38 amu

lighter isotope mass = 340.91 amu

abundance of lighter isotope = 68.322%

mass of heavier isotope = ?

Solution:

average atomic mass = ( % age abundance of lighter isotope × its atomic mass) + (% age abundance of heavier isotope × its atomic mass) / 100

percentage of heavier isotope = 100- 68.322 = 31.678

Now we will put the values in formula.

342.38 = (68.322× 340.91) + (31.678 × X) / 100

342.38 = 23291.65302 + (31.678 × X) / 100

342.38 × 100 = 23291.65302 + (31.678 × X)

34238 -23291.65302 = (31.678 × X)

10946.35 / 31.678 = X

345.6 = X

The mass of heavier isotope is 345.6 amu.

Explanation:

It is known that 1 gram contains 1000 milligrams. And, mathematically we can represent it as follows.

$\frac{1 g}{1000 mg}$ or $\frac{1000 mg}{1 g}$

So, when we have to convert grams into milligrams then we simply multiply the digit with 1000. And, if we have to convert a digit from milligrams to grams then we simply divide it by 1000.

Triss [41]

Answer:

1.0 × 10⁻⁹ M.

Explanation:

∵ [H₃O⁺][OH⁻] = 10⁻¹⁴.

[H₃O⁺] = 1.0 x 10⁻⁵ M.

∴ [OH⁻] = 10⁻¹⁴/[H₃O⁺] = 10⁻¹⁴/(1.0 x 10⁻⁵ M) = 1.0 × 10⁻⁹ M.

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer and Explanation:

For the following balanced reaction:

PCl₅(g) ↔ PCl₃(g) + Cl₂(g)

We can see that all reactants and products are gases, so it is an homogeneous equilibrium. The expression for the equilibrium constant Kp can be written from the partial pressures (P) of reactants and products as follows:

$Kp=\frac{(P PCl_{3})(P Cl_{2})}{(P PCl_{5})}$

Where PPCl₃ is the partial pressure of PCl₃ (reactant), PCl₂ is the partial pressure of Cl₂ (reactant) and PPCl₅ is the partial pressure of PCl₅ (product).
