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

(d) Solid lithium nitride conducts electricity and is used in batteries. Why would you expect solid lithium nitride not to condu
guapka [62]

Answer:

Solid ionic compounds do not conduct electricity because the ions are held firmly in place. The ions cannot move to conduct the electric current. But when an ionic compound melts, the charged ions are free to move. Therefore, molten ionic compounds do conduct electricity.

What is the correct unabbreviated electron configuration of the following?:
Rudik [331]

The correct  unabbreviated electron configuration  is as below


Vanadium - 1S2 2S2 2P6 3S2 3p6 3d3 4s2

Strontium -  1s2 2S2 2P6 3S2 3P6 3d10 4S2 4P6 4S2

Carbon =1S2 2S2 2P2


<u><em> Explanation</em></u>

vanadium  is in atomic number  23  in the periodic table  hence its electron configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d3 4s2

Strontium is in atomic number 38  in periodic table  hence  its electron configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d10  4s2 4p6 4s2

Carbon is in atomic number 6 in periodic  table  therefore its electron configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p2

Given a Ksp for AgBr of 5.0 * 10–13, what happens when 50 ml of 0.002 M AgNO3 and 50 mL of 0.002 M NaBr are mixed?
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

A precipitate will be produced

Explanation:

The Ksp of AgBr is:

AgBr(s) → Ag⁺ + Br⁻

5.0x10⁻¹³ = [Ag⁺] Br⁻]

<em>Where [] are the concentrations in equilibrium of each ion.</em>

<em />

And if Q is:

Q = [Ag⁺] Br⁻]

<em>Where the concentrations are actual concentrations of each ion</em>

<em />

We can say:

IF Q >= Ksp, a precipitate will be produced

IF Q < Ksp, no precipitate will be produced.

the molar concentrations are:

[AgNO₃] = [Ag⁺] = 0.002M * (50mL / 100mL) = 0.001M

<em>Because 50mL is the volume of the AgNO₃ solution and 100mL the volume of the mixture of both solutions.</em>

[NaBr] = [Br⁻] = 0.002M * (50mL / 100mL) = 0.001M

Q = [0.001M] * [0.001M]

Q = 1x10⁻⁶

As Q > Ksp,

<h3>A precipitate will be produced</h3>
