The abundance of 12c is 98.9%. 13c is another naturally occurring isotope. what is the percent abundance of 13c?

1 answer:

8 0

Actually the total abundance of the isotopes of any element in this world must sum up to 100%. So we initially know that 12 C is 98.9 percent abundant, therefore the remaining of the 100 percent must be of 13 C, that is:

13 C = 100% - 98.9%

After centrifugation of the sample, the student was not careful and some of the solid was transferred to the Erlenmeyer flask al

Tju [1.3M]

The fact that some of the solid was transferred would decrease the mass of the limiting reactant.

<h3>What is the limiting reactant?</h3>

We know that in a chemical reaction, there are at least two substances that are combined in order to give the product of the reaction. We also know that the product that we obtain must be in accordance to the stoichiometry of the reaction.

It is common to see that one of the reactants would be present in a very large amount while the other reactant would be present only in quite a small amount. The reactant that is present in a small amount is said to be the limiting reactant while the one that is present in the large amount is said to be the reactant that is in excess.

Having said this, we know that the mass of the limiting reactant can be obtained from the mass of the solid that is obtained after the reaction.

If we do not take out all of the solid from the centrifuge, the mass would not be accurately weighed and the mass of the limiting reactant would not be accurately determined.

Find the enthalpy of neutralization of HCl and NaOH. 137 cm3 of 2.6 mol dm-3 hydrochloric acid was neutralized by 137 cm3 of 2.6

liraira [26]

Answer : The correct option is, (D) 89.39 KJ/mole

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the moles of HCl and NaOH.

$\text{Moles of HCl}=\text{Concentration of HCl}\times \text{Volume of solution}=2.6mole/L\times 0.137L=0.3562mole$

$\text{Moles of NaOH}=\text{Concentration of NaOH}\times \text{Volume of solution}=2.6mole/L\times 0.137L=0.3562mole$

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

$HCl+NaOH\rightarrow NaCl+H_2O$

From the balanced reaction we conclude that,

As, 1 mole of HCl neutralizes by 1 mole of NaOH

So, 0.3562 mole of HCl neutralizes by 0.3562 mole of NaOH

Thus, the number of neutralized moles = 0.3562 mole

Now we have to calculate the mass of water.

As we know that the density of water is 1 g/ml. So, the mass of water will be:

The volume of water = $137ml+137ml=274ml$

$\text{Mass of water}=\text{Density of water}\times \text{Volume of water}=1g/ml\times 274ml=274g$

Now we have to calculate the heat absorbed during the reaction.

$q=m\times c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})$

where,

q = heat absorbed = ?

$c$ = specific heat of water = $4.18J/g^oC$

m = mass of water = 274 g

$T_{final}$ = final temperature of water = 325.8 K

$T_{initial}$ = initial temperature of metal = 298 K

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$q=274g\times 4.18J/g^oC\times (325.8-298)K$

$q=31839.896J=31.84KJ$

Thus, the heat released during the neutralization = -31.84 KJ

Now we have to calculate the enthalpy of neutralization.

$\Delta H=\frac{q}{n}$

where,

$\Delta H$ = enthalpy of neutralization = ?

q = heat released = -31.84 KJ

n = number of moles used in neutralization = 0.3562 mole

$\Delta H=\frac{-31.84KJ}{0.3562mole}=-89.39KJ/mole$

The negative sign indicate the heat released during the reaction.

Therefore, the enthalpy of neutralization is, 89.39 KJ/mole
