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

Consider the following reaction:
slava [35]

Answer:

Option D is correct =  58 g

Explanation:

Data Given:

mass of LiOH = 120 g

Mass of Li3N= ?

Solution:

To solve this problem we have to look at the reaction

Reaction:

                  Li₃N (s) + 3H₂0 (l) -----------► NH₃ (g) + 3LiOH (l)

                    1 mol                                                      3 mol

Convert moles to mass

Molar mass of LiOH = 24 g/mol

Molar mass of  Li₃N = 35 g/mol

So,

                   Li₃N (s)        +     3H₂0 (l) -----------► NH₃ (g) + 3LiOH (l)

                1 mol (35 g/mol)                                                   3 mol (24 g/mol)

                   35 g                                                                         72 g

So if we look at the reaction 35 g of Li₃N react with water and produces 72 g of LiOH , then how many g of Li₃N will be react to Produce by 120 g of  LiOH

For this apply unity formula

                        35 g of  Li₃N ≅ 72 g of LiOH

                        X of  Li₃N ≅ 120 g of LiOH

By Doing cross multiplication

                  Mass of Li₃N = 35 g x 120 g / 72 g

                   mass of Li₃N =  58 g

120 g of LiOH will produce from 58 g of Li₃N

So,

Option D is correct =  58 g

nlexa [21]

Answer:

Hydrogen Bonding

Explanation:

Hydrogen bonding occurs between the positive dipole of one water molecule with the negative dipole of another. It is an intermolecular force that gives water its unique properties such as: high boiling point, high specific heat, cohesion, adhesion, and density.

<h3>What do we know about the process of dissolution?</h3>

A solute can dissolve in a solvent in a solid, liquid, or gaseous phase to create a solution through the process of dissolution. Solubility. The greatest amount of a solute that may dissolve in a solvent at a particular temperature is known as its solubility. The solution is said to as saturated when the maximum amount of solute is present.

Several variables influence solubility, including:

  • The solute's concentration
  • The system's temperature
  • Pressure (for gases in solution)
  • The solvent's and solute's polarity
