In this case, we can simply use a ruler to measure the heights of the signal. Use the same ruler all throughout to reduce deviations in the measurement.

So for example we have 3 isotopes, so we get 3 signals with heights of (for example):

isotope 1 = 62

isotope 2 = 2

isotope 3 = 8

 

Therefore the mass of the signals would be:

62 + 2 + 8 = 72

 

The fractional abundance of each isotope would be:

frac isotope 1 = 62/72 = 0.86

frac isotope 2 = 2/72 = 0.03

<span>frac isotope 3 = 8/72 = 0.11</span>

PLEASE HELP!! Thanks! How much heat (in kJ) is required to warm 13.0 g of ice, initially at -10.0 ∘C, to steam at 111.0 ∘C? The
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

Approximately 39.7 kJ.

Assumptions: the specific heat capacity of water is \rm 4.182\; J \cdot mol^{-1}, the melting point of water is \rm 0\, ^{\circ} C, and that the boiling point of water is \rm 100 \,^{\circ} C.

Explanation:

It takes five steps to convert 13.0 grams of \rm \text{-}10.0\, ^{\circ}C ice to steam at \rm 111.0\,^{\circ}C.

  • Step one: heat the 13.0 gram of ice from \rm \text{-}10.0\, ^{\circ}C to \rm 0\,^{\circ}C. The change in temperature would be \rm 10.0\,^{\circ}C.
  • Step two: supply the heat of fusion to convert that 13.0 gram of ice to water.
  • Step three: heat the 13.0 gram of water from\rm 0\,^{\circ}C to \rm 100\,^{\circ}C. The change in temperature would be \rm 100\,^{\circ}C.
  • Step four: supply the heat of vaporization to convert that 13.0 gram of water to steam.
  • Step five: heat the 13.0 gram of steam from\rm 100\,^{\circ}C to \rm 111.0\,^{\circ}C. The change in temperature would be \rm 11.0\,^{\circ}C.

<h3>Energy required for step one, three, and five</h3>

The following equation gives the amount of energy Q required to raise the temperature of an object  by a \Delta T:

Q = c \cdot m \cdot \Delta T.

In this equation,

  • c is the specific heat of this substance,
  • m is the mass of the substance, and
  • \Delta T is the change in the temperature of the object.

Assume that there's no mass loss in this whole process. The value of m would stay the same at 13.0\; \rm g.

\begin{aligned}& &&\text{Energy required for raising temperature} \cr &=&& c(\text{Ice}) \cdot m \cdot \Delta(\text{Ice}) \cr & && + c(\text{Water}) \cdot m \cdot \Delta(\text{Water})\cr & && + c(\text{Steam}) \cdot m \cdot \Delta(\text{Steam}) \cr & = && (2.09 \times 13.0 \times 10) \cr & && + (4.182 \times 13.0 \times 100) \cr & &&+ ( 2.01 \times 13.0 \times 10) \cr & = && 5969.6\;\rm J \cr & = && 5.969\; \rm kJ\end{aligned}.

<h3>Energy required for step two and four</h3>

The equations for the energy of fusion and energy of vaporization are quite similar:

E(\text{Fusion}) = n \cdot \Delta H_\text{Fusion}.

E(\text{Vaporization}) = n \cdot \Delta H_\text{Vaporization}.

where n is the number of moles of the substance.

Look up the relative atomic mass of oxygen and hydrogen from a modern periodic table:

  • H: 1.008,
  • O: 15.999.

Hence the molar mass of water:

M(\rm H_2O) = 2\times 1.008 + 15.999 = 18.015\; g \cdot mol^{-1}.

Number of moles of \rm H_2O molecules in \rm 13.0\; g:

\displaystyle n = \frac{m}{M} \approx 0.721621\; \rm mol.

\begin{aligned}& &&\text{Energy required for phase changes} \cr &=&& n \cdot \Delta H_\text{Fusion} \cr & &&+n \cdot \Delta H_\text{Vaporization} \cr & = &&0.721621 \times 6.02 + 0.721621 \times 40.7 \cr & = &&33.7\; \rm kJ \end{aligned}

<h3>Energy required for all five steps, combined</h3>

5.969\; \rm kJ + 33.7\; \rm kJ \approx 39.7\; \rm kJ.
