Answer:

177.277amu

Explanation:

the total occuring isotopes for Hafnium is =6.

First isotope had an atomic weight of 173.940amu

Second isotope =175.941amu

Third isotope =176.943amu

Fourth isotope=177.944amu

Fifth isotope. =178.946amu

sixth isotope .179.947amu

<em>Avera</em><em>ge</em><em> </em><em>ato</em><em>mic</em><em> </em><em>wei</em><em>ght</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>Haf</em><em>nium</em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>sum</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>all</em><em> </em><em>the </em><em>atomi</em><em>c</em><em> </em><em>weights</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>iso</em><em>topes</em><em>/</em><em> </em><em>Tota</em><em>l</em><em> </em><em>occu</em><em>ring</em><em> </em><em>isotopes</em>

Thus, 173.940amu+175.941amu+176.943amu+177.944amu+178.946amu+179.947amu.= 1063.661amu

Average atomic weight= 1063.661amu /6 = 177.2768333amu

= 177.277amu to 3 decimal places.

Delta E = Ef - Ei
E = energy , h = plank constant  , v = frequency
h= 6.626 * 10 ^-34 j*s  ,  T = 10 ^ 12  , v = 74 * 10 ^12 Hz  ,  Hz = s^-1 

E = ( 6.626 * 10^ -34 j*s) ( 74 * 10 ^ 12 s^ -1 )  =   4.90 * 10 ^ -20 J
Delta E  = Ef  -  Ei
-4.90 * 10 ^ -20 J =  -2.18 * 10 ^ -18J ( 1/4 ^2 - 1/x ^2)
0.0225 = 0.0625 -  ( 1/x ^ 2)
0.225 - 0.0625 =  - 1/ x ^ 2 

- 0.0400 = - 1/x ^2    =   -1 / - 0.0400    =   x^2
25   =  x^2 
     x = 5

A chemist has some 40% acid solution, some 60% acid solution, and a wholebunch of free time. How many liters of each should be u
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

30 Liters of 40% acid solution and 10 L of 60% acid solution is needed.

Explanation:

Let volume of the 40% acid solution be x.

Let volume of the 60% acid solution be y.

Volume of solution formed after mixing both solution = 40 L

x + y = 40 L..[1]

Volume of acid 40% solution = 40% of x= 0.4x

Volume of acid 60% solution = 60% of y= 0.6y

Volume of acid formed = 45% of 40 L = \frac{45}{100}\times 40=18L

0.4x+0.6y=18 L..[2]

Solving [1] and [2]

x = 30 L  ,   y = 10 L

30 Liters of 40% acid solution and 10 L of 60% acid solution is needed.
