Answer:

c) .51835

Explanation:

Let the relative abundance of the lighter of the two isotopes be X we have

Then the relative abundance of the heavier isotope is then (1-X)

Whereby we have that in nature the amount of the lighter silver found in proportion is X and the heavier isotope of silver is present as (1-X) proportion in nature.

To calculate the relative atomic mass of silver, we have

(Mass of light weight silver)×X + (mass of heavier isotope of silver×(1-X) = relative atomic mass of silver

106.90509(X) + 108.9047(1-X)

108.9-108.9(x)+106.9(x) = 107.87

-2x-1.03 = 0.517450902926

Closest answer is c

c) .5184

The relative atomic mass of isotopes is the weighted average by the mole-fraction of abundance of these isotopes which gives the atomic weight that is listed for that element on the periodic table.

In order for matter or energy to be conserved, one must have a ____ system.
Leya [2.2K]
Closed system.  If the system is not closed, matter or energy can escape from the system.  an example of this is if you react magnesium and hydrochloric acid in a open system.  The H₂ gas is going to escape making it look like some of the mass disappeared .  in that same reaction some in an open system will also loose heat to the surrounding which will make it look like less heat was produced.

Describe what happens when a bond is created between magnesium and bromine. Be specific and explain in terms of electrons.
Allushta [10]

Answer: Magnesium and Bromine/MgBr2 = Ionic compounds

Explanation: When atoms form together they can form between Ionic Compounds and molecules; this could depend on if they're joined by Covalent bonds as well because when atoms form with Covalent bonds, it forms Molecules.

V125BC [204]

The organic product formed when 1−hexyne is treated with H₂O, H₂SO₄, and HgSO₄ will be 2-hexanone (structure attached).

This reaction is an example of an oxymercuration reaction of the organic product 1−hexyne.

Oxymercuration is shown in three steps to the right. The nucleophilic double bond attacks the mercury ion, releasing an acetoxy group. The mercury ion's electron pair attacks carbon on the double bond, generating a positive-charged mercuronium ion. Mercury's dxz and 6s orbitals give electrons to the double bond's lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals.

In the second stage, the nucleophilic H₂O attacks the highly modified carbon, freeing its mercury-bonding electrons. Electrons neutralize mercury ions by collapsing. Water molecules have positive-charged oxygen.

In the third stage, the negatively charged acetoxy ion released in the first step attacks the hydrogen of the water group, generating the waste product HOAc. The two electrons in the oxygen-hydrogen link collapse into oxygen, neutralizing its charge and forming alcohol.

In which of the following equilibrium systems will an increase in the volume cause the equilibrium to shift away from the reacta
Alenkinab [10]

Answer: 2NOBr(g) ⇌ 2NO(g) + Br2(g)

Explanation: For volume changes in equillibrium, the following are to be taken into consideration:

  • Volume changes have no effect on equillibrium system that contains solid or aqueous solutions.
  • An increase in volume of an equilibrium system will shift to favor the direction that produces more moles of gas.
  • A decrease in volume of an equilibrium system will shift to favor the direction that produces less moles of gas.
  • Volume changes will have no effect on the equillibrium system if there is an equal number of moles on both sides of the reaction.

2NOBr(g) ⇌ 2NO(g) + Br2(g) is the equillibrium system because there are more moles of products,therefore an increase in the volume of the reaction will shift to the right and produce more moles of products. Also both reactants and products exist in the gaseous state and does not have equal number of moles.
