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.

Which reaction has the highest atom economy for the production of C02?

In-s [12.5K]

The highest atom economy

2CO + O₂ ⇒ 2CO₂

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

The reaction for the production of CO₂

Required

The highest atom economy

Solution

In reactions, there are sometimes unwanted products that can be said to be a by-product or a waste product. Meanwhile, the desired product can be said to be a useful product, which can be shown as the atom economy

of the reaction

the higher the atomic economy value of a reaction, the smaller the waste/ byproducts produced, so that less energy is wasted

The general formula:

Atom economy = (mass of useful product : mass of all reactants/products) x 100

Atom economy = (total formula masses of useful product : total formula masses of all reactants/products) x 100

So a reaction that only produces one product will have the highest atomic value, namely the reaction in option C

What is the pOH of a 0.150 M solution of potassium nitrite? (Ka HNO2 = 4.5 x 10−4 )

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

11.9 is the pOH of a 0.150 M solution of potassium nitrite.

Explanation:

Solution : Given,

Concentration (c) = 0.150 M

Acid dissociation constant = $k_a=4.5\times 10^{-4}$

The equilibrium reaction for dissociation of $HNO_2$ (weak acid) is,

$HNO_2+H_2O\rightleftharpoons NO_2^-+H_3O^+$

initially conc. c 0 0

At eqm. $c(1-\alpha)$ $c\alpha$ $c\alpha$

First we have to calculate the concentration of value of dissociation constant $(\alpha )$ .

Formula used :

$k_a=\frac{(c\alpha)(c\alpha)}{c(1-\alpha)}$

Now put all the given values in this formula ,we get the value of dissociation constant $(\alpha )$ .

$4.5\times 10^{-4}=\frac{(0.150\alpha)(0.150\alpha)}{0.150(1-\alpha)}$

$4.5\times 10^{-4} - 4.5\times 10^{-4}\alpha =0.150\alpha ^2$

$0.150\alpha ^2+4.5\times 10^{-4}\alpha-4.5\times 10^{-4}=0$

By solving the terms, we get

$\alpha=0.0533$

No we have to calculate the concentration of hydronium ion or hydrogen ion.

$[H^+]=c\alpha=0.150\times 0.0533=0.007995 M$

Now we have to calculate the pH.

$pH=-\log [H^+]$

$pH=-\log (0.007995 M)$

$pH=2.097\approx 2.1$

pH + pOH = 14

pOH =14 -2.1 = 11.9

Therefore, the pOH of the solution is 11.9
