Answer:

Mass of Rb-87 is 86.913 amu.

Explanation:

Given data:

Average mass of rubidium = 85.4678 amu

Mass of Rb-85 = 84.9117

Ratio of 85Rb/87Rb in natural rubidium = 2.591

Mass of Rb = ?

Solution:

The ration of both isotope is 2.591 to 1. Which means that for 2.591 atoms of Rb-85 there is one Rb-87.

For 100% naturally occurring Rb = 2.591 + 1 = 3.591

% abundance of Rb-85 = 2.591/ 3.591 = 0.722

% abundance of Rb-87 = 1 - 0.722= 0.278

84.9117 × 0.722 + X × 0.278 = 85.4678

61.306 + X × 0.278 = 85.4678

X × 0.278 = 85.4678 - 61.306

X × 0.278 = 24.1618

X =  24.1618 / 0.278

X = 86.913 amu

RideAnS [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

*Since the titration is between the strong acid HCl and the strong base Ca(OH)2, the pH at the equivalent point should be 7. On interpolation, we will obtain that 9.50mL and 9.82 mL of HCl is required to completely neutralized the given Ca(OH)2 solution.

*pH at the equivalence point =7

we know that pH + pOH = 14

Hence pOH= 14-7=7

pOH= -log(OH-)

The concentration of OH-= 10-pH= 1X10-7 M

One reason for the low solubility may be the higher reaction temperature, Another reason is the common ion effect.

What is the half-life of 20 g of a radioactive sample if 5 g remain after 8 minutes?
Anni [7]

Hello!

The half-life is the time of half-disintegration, it is the time in which half of the atoms of an isotope disintegrate.

We have the following data:

mo (initial mass) = 20 g

m (final mass after time T) = 5 g

x (number of periods elapsed) = ?

P (Half-life) = ? (in minutes)

T (Elapsed time for sample reduction) = 8 minutes

Let's find the number of periods elapsed (x), let us see:

m =  \dfrac{m_o}{2^x}

5 =  \dfrac{20}{2^x}

2^x = \dfrac{20}{5}

2^x = 4

2^x = 2^2

\boxed{x = 2}


Now, let's find the half-life (P) of the radioactive sample, let's see:

T = x*P

8 = 2*P

2\:P = 8

P = \dfrac{8}{2}

\boxed{\boxed{P = 4\:minutes}}\Longleftarrow(Half-Life)\end{array}}\qquad\checkmark

I Hope this helps, greetings ... DexteR! =)
