Suppose that a newly discovered element called centium has 3 isotopes that occure in nature. These are centium -200, centium -20

3, and centium -209. Assume that these isotopes occur in equal amounts in nature. What will be the average atomic mass of this element????

Answer:

The answer to your question is 203.8 g

Explanation:

Data

Average atomic mass = ?

Centium-200

Centium-203

Centium-209

Equal amounts

Process

1.- Determine the abundance of each isotope.

If they are in equal amounts in nature, just divide 100 by 3

             100/3 = 33.33 % or 0.333

2.- Determine the Average atomic mass

Average atomic mass = Atomic mass 1 x abundance + Atomic mass 2 x

                                        abundance + Atomic mass 3 x abundance

- Substitution

Average atomic mass = 200 x 0.333 + 203 x 0.333 + 209 x 0.333

- Simplification

Average atomic mass = 66.6 + 67.6 + 69.6

Result

Average atomic mass = 203.8 g

When 3.00 moles of hydrogen molecules and 1.50 moles of oxygen molecules react, they form 3.00 moles of water
bearhunter [10]

Mass of Oxygen required : 24 grams

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

3 moles of H

1.5 moles of O

3 moles of H₂O

Required

Mass of O

Solution

Reaction

2H₂ + O₂ ⇒ 2H₂O

Mass of Oxygen for 1.5 moles of O :

= mol x Ar O

= 1.5 moles x 16 g/mol

= 24 grams

Calculate the mass of potassium acid phthalate (HKC8H4O4) that will require about 15 mL of the approximately 0.1 M NaOH solution
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

0.31 g

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction;

HKC8H4O4(aq) + NaOH(aq) ----> Na(KC8H4O4)(aq) + H2O(l)

Number of moles of NaOH = 15/1000 L × 0.1 M

= 0.0015 moles

Since the reaction is 1:1, 0.0015 moles of KHP reacted;

Number of moles of KHP = mass of KHP reacted/molar mass of KHP

Mass of KHP = Number of moles of KHP × molar mass of KHP

Mass of KHP = 0.0015 moles × 204.22 g/mol

Mass of KHP = 0.31 g

80.0 mL of 0.30 M NaOH and 80.0 mL of 0.30 M HCl are mixed together. What is the approximate pH
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

  • <u><em>Neutral</em></u>

Explanation:

The number of moles of solute is equal to product of the molar concentration (molarity) and the volume (in liters) of solution.

Since the volumes and the molar concentrations of the<em> NaOH </em>and <em>HCl </em>solutions mixed are equal, each one of them contributes the same number of moles of solute.

Since every mol of NaOH produces one mol of OH⁻ ions and every mol of HCl produces one mol of H⁺ ion, the number of moles of OH ⁻ and H⁺ in solution are equal.

Thus, OH⁻ and H⁺ ions will be neutralized by the reaction:

  • OH⁻ (aq) + H⁺ (aq) ⇄ H₂O (l)

Which is strongly shifted to the right and has <em>neutral pH</em>.

Hence, you conclude that the approximate <em>pH of the solution is neutral.</em>
