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

ASAPPP. Describe how you could determine the specific heat of a sample of a solid substance. You may
Allushta [10]

Answer:

I would use calorimetric to determine the specific heat and I would measure the mass of a sample

Explanation:

I would use calorimetry to determine the specific heat.

I would measure the mass of a sample of the substance.

I would heat the substance to a known temperature.

I would place the heated substance into a coffee-cup calorimeter containing a known mass of water with a known initial temperature.

I would wait for the temperature to equilibrate, then calculate temperature change.

I would use the temperature change of water to determine the amount of energy absorbed.

I would use the amount of energy lost by substance, mass, and temperature change to calculate specific heat.

Which three statements about gravity and the formation of the solar system
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

B. Gravity held the pieces of forming planets together.

c. Gravity pulled most of the matter into the center of the solar system

D. Gravity caused the planets and Sun to have spherical shapes.

Explanation:

When a collection of grains pulled together by their gravitational forces would keep in by the gravity of a star, it would eventually became bigger to the point a planet was formed.

The sun's strong gravitational force pulled most of the matter around it to the center of the solar system.

The spherical shape of planets is a result of their gravity pulling equally from all sides, shaping it into a sphere.

Which gas will effuse at the rate closest At a particular pressure and temperature, nitrogen gas effuses at the rate of 79mLs. U
Contact [7]

Answer : The rate of effusion of sulfur dioxide gas is 52 mL/s.

Solution :

According to the Graham's law, the rate of effusion of gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of gas.

R\propto \sqrt{\frac{1}{M}}

or,

(\frac{R_1}{R_2})=\sqrt{\frac{M_2}{M_1}}       ..........(1)

where,

R_1 = rate of effusion of nitrogen gas = 79mL/s

R_2 = rate of effusion of sulfur dioxide gas = ?

M_1 = molar mass of nitrogen gas  = 28 g/mole

M_2 = molar mass of sulfur dioxide gas = 64 g/mole

Now put all the given values in the above formula 1, we get:

(\frac{79mL/s}{R_2})=\sqrt{\frac{64g/mole}{28g/mole}}

R_2=52mL/s

Therefore, the rate of effusion of sulfur dioxide gas is 52 mL/s.
