The answer is 64.907 amu.

The atomic mass of an element is the average of the atomic masses of its isotopes. The relative abundance of isotopes must be taken into consideration, therefore:
atomic mass of copper = atomic mass of isotope 1 * abundance 1 + atomic mass of isotope 2 * abundance 2

We know:
atomic mass of copper = 63.546 amu
The atomic mass of isotope 1 is: 62.939 amu
The abundance of isotope 1 is: 69.17% = 0.6917
The atomic mass of isotope 1 is: x
The abundance of isotope 2: 100% - 69.17% = 30.83% = 0.3083

Thus:
63.546 amu = 62.939 amu * 0.6917 + x * 0.3083
63.546 <span>amu = 43.535 amu + 0.3083x
</span>⇒ 63.546 amu - 43.535 amu = 0.3083x
⇒ 20.011 amu = 0.3083x
   ⇒ x = 20.011 amu ÷ 0.3083 = 64.907 amu

The charges of a set of isoelectronic ions vary from 3+ to 3-. Place the ions in order of increasing size.
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

  Iso-electronic species have same number of electrons . Positive charged ions will have smaller size . As electrons add , size increases due to electronic repulsion .

Following species are isoelectronic .

Al³⁺ < Mg²⁺ < Na¹⁺ < Ne < F⁻¹ < O⁻² < N⁻³

By how much will the ph change if 0.025 mol of hcl is added to 1.00 l of the buffer that contains 0.15 m hc2h3o2 and 0.25 m c2h3
Setler [38]
According to the reaction equation:

              CH3COO-  + H+   → CH3COOH 

initial         0.25                             0.15

change     - 0.025                          + 0.025

Equ         (0.25-0.025)                 (0.15 + 0.025)

first, we have to get moles acetate and moles acetic acid:

moles of acetate = 0.25 - 0.025 = 0.225 moles

∴ [CH3COO-] = 0.225 mol / 1 L = 0.225 M

moles of acetic acid = 0.15 + 0.025 = 0.175 moles

∴ [ CH3COOH] = 0.175 mol / 1L = 0.175 M 

Pka = -㏒ Ka 

       = -㏒ 1.8 x 10^-5
       
       = 4.74

from H-H equation we can get the PH value:

PH = Pka + ㏒ [acetate / acetic acid]

PH = 4.74 + ㏒[0.225/0.175]

∴ PH = 4.8
