A newly found element with the symbol J has two naturally occurring isotopes. Isotope one has an atomic mass of 139.905 amu and

an abundance of 37.25%. Isotope two has an atomic mass of 141.709 amu and an abundance of 62.75%. Calculate the mass of the element.

Answer:

The mass of the element is 141.03701 amu

Explanation:

The catch here is that it notes a " newly found element. " Otherwise you could just refer to the average atomic mass of the element in the periodic table, and receive your solution in a much faster way.

The first isotope has an atomic mass of 139.905 amu, and a respective percent abundance of 37.25%. The second isotope has an atomic mass of 141.709 amu, and the remaining percent abundance, 100% - 37.25% = 62.75% ( given ). We can calculate the mass of the unknown element by associating each percentage with the mass of their respective isotope, over 100%.

Mass = ( ( 139.905 amu )( 37.25% ) + ( 141.709 amu )( 62.75% ) )/ 100,

Mass = ( ( 5211.46125 ) + ( 8892.23975 ) ) / 100,

Mass = ( 14103.701 ) / 100 = 141.03701 amu

Explain how carbon is conserved in the carbon cycle.
Sonja [21]

Most of the carbon is put away in sedimentary carbonates and kerogens, with the rest being spread between the sea, the air, biomass, for example, plants and creatures, and petroleum products

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • The carbon cycle is the procedure where carbon goes from the surrounding into living beings and to the Earth and then again goes into the air. Plants take carbon dioxide from the air and use it for food preparation. Creatures at that point eat the nourishment and carbon is put away in their bodies or discharged as CO2 through the breath.  
  • Most of the carbon is put away in sedimentary carbonates and kerogens, with the rest being spread between the sea, the air, biomass, for example, plants and creatures, and petroleum products. This is known as carbon storage.  
  • For instance, carbon, a fundamental component in natural particles, is preserved as it is moved from inorganic carbon in a biological system to natural atoms in living life forms of the biological system and back as inorganic carbon to the earth.

Identify the substances in this reaction:
lukranit [14]

Answer:

is an aqueous reactant

is a liquid product

is a gaseous product

Explanation:

H_2CO_3 ⇔ CO_2 + H_2O

Hydrogen carbonate dissocates to form carbon dioxide and water. The acid (hydrogen carbonate) is in aqueous form and it dissociates to water (liquid) and carbon dioxide (a gas). It is also seen that the hydrogen carbonate is on the reactant side and it dissociates to produce water and carbon dioxide.

WH_2CO_3<u> is an aqueous reactant</u> (a reactant undergoes changes in a chemical reaction

<u />H_2O<u> is a liquid product</u> (product refers to the species produced from  chemical reaction)

<u />CO_2<u> is a gaseous product</u>

Write ionic equations for the following:<br> HCl(aq) + KOH(aq) → KCl(aq) + H2O(l)
vodomira [7]

Answer:

HCl(aq) + KOH(aq) ===> H2O(l) + KCl(aq)

Note the stoichiometry of the balanced equations shows us that HCl and KOH react in a 1:1 mole ratio. So, let us find moles of HCl and moles of KOH that are present:

moles HCl = 250.0 ml x 1 L/1000 ml x 0.25 mol/L = 0.06250 moles HCl

moles KOH = 200.0 ml x 1 L/1000 ml x 0.40 mol/L = 0.0800 moles KOH

You can see that there are more moles of KOH than there are of HCl, meaning that KOH is in excess and after neutralizing all of the HCl, the solution will be left with excess KOH making the pH > 7 = BASIC
