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

Additional solute is added to a saturated solution of a solid and a liquid after being heated above room temperature. Once no mo
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

After the solution is heated, but before additional solute is added

Explanation:

An unsaturated solution is a solution that contains less solute than it can normally hold at a given temperature. Hence an unsaturated solution can still dissolve more solute.

When the solution is heated, the saturated cold solution becomes an unsaturated hot solution which is capable of dissolving more solute at this point.

Once more solute is dissolved, the solution becomes saturated again just before it begins to cool since no more solute dissolves in the solution at some point before cooling and addition of seed crystals.

Calculate the ΔG°rxn using the following information at 298K. 2 HNO3(aq) + NO(g) → 3 NO2(g) + H2O(l) ΔG°rxn = ? ΔH°f (kJ/mol) -2
Mkey [24]

Answer:

ΔG°rxn = +50.8 kJ/mol

Explanation:

It is possible to obtain ΔG°rxn of a reaction at certain temperature from ΔH°rxn and S°rxn, thus:

<em>ΔG°rxn = ΔH°rxn - T×S°rxn (1)</em>

In the reaction:

2 HNO3(aq) + NO(g) → 3 NO2(g) + H2O(l)

ΔH°rxn = 3×ΔHfNO2 + ΔHfH2O - (2×ΔHfHNO3 + ΔHfNO)

ΔH°rxn = 3×33.2kJ/mol + (-285.8kJ/mol) - (2×-207.0kJ/mol + 91.3kJ/mol)}

ΔH°rxn = 136.5kJ/mol

And S°:

S°rxn = 3×S°NO2 + S°H2O - (2×S°HNO3 + S°NO)

ΔH°rxn = 3×0.2401kJ/molK + (0.0700kJ/molK) - (2×0.146kJ/molK + 0.2108kJ/molK)

ΔH°rxn = 0.2875kJ/molK

And replacing in (1) at 298K:

ΔG°rxn = 136.5kJ/mol - 298K×0.2875kJ/molK

<em>ΔG°rxn = +50.8 kJ/mol</em>
