The average atomic masses of some elements may vary, depending upon the sources of their ores. Naturally occurring boron consist

s of two isotopes with accurately known masses (10B, 10.0129 amu and 11B, 11.0931 amu). The actual atomic mass of boron can vary from 10.807 to 10.819, depending on whether the mineral source is from Turkey or the United States. Calculate the percent abundances leading to the two values of the average atomic masses of boron from these two countries.

Explanation:

Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:

\text{Average atomic mass }=\sum_{i=1}^n\text{(Atomic mass of an isotopes)}_i\times \text{(Fractional abundance})_i

Let the fractional abundance of B-10 isotope be 'x'. So, fractional abundance of B-11 isotope will be '1 - x'

For B-10 isotope:

Mass of B-10 isotope = 10.0129 amu

For Li-7 isotope:

Mass of B-11 isotope = 11.0931 amu

1) Average atomic mass of boron = 10.807 amu

10.807 amu=x\times 10.0129 amu+(1-x)\times 11.0931 amu

x= 0.2648

The  percent abundances B-10 isotope = 0.2648 × 100 =26.48%

The  percent abundances B-11 isotope = 100% - 26.48% =73.51%

2) Average atomic mass of boron = 10.819 amu

10.819 amu=x\times 10.0129 amu+(1-x)\times 11.0931 amu

x= 0.2537

The  percent abundances B-10 isotope = 0.2537 × 100 =25.37%

The  percent abundances B-11 isotope = 100% - 25.37% =74.63%

Q15. Natural gas burns in air to form carbon dioxide and water to releasing heat. CHA(g) O2 (g) CO2 g) H20 (g) AH 802.3 kJ What
mestny [16]

Answer:

a) 0.115 g

Explanation:

The balanced reaction is:

CH₄(g) + 2O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(g)

To heat 55g of water, the energy in form of heat necessary can be calculated by:

Q = mcΔT

where Q is the heat, m is the mass, c is the specific heat (for water, c = 4.18 J/gºC), and ΔT is the variation of the temperature, which is 25ºC, so:

Q = 55x4.18x25

Q = 5747.5 J = 5.7475 kJ

So, for the reaction, 1 mol of CH₄ releases 802.3 kJ, so to release 5.7475 kJ will be necessary:

1 mol ---------------- 802.3 kJ

x ---------------- 5.7475 kJ

By a simple direct three rule:

802.3x = 5.7475

x = 7.164x10⁻³mol

The molar mass of CH₄ is : 12 (of C) + 4x1 (of H) = 16 g/mol

The mass is equal to the number of moles multiplied by molar mass, the:

m = 7.164x10⁻³x16

m = 0.115 g

If you start with 3 moles of sodium and 3 moles of chlorine to produce sodium chloride, what is the limiting reagent?(you will n
Harman [31]

Sodium(Na) is the limiting reagent.

<h3>What is Limiting reagent?</h3>

The reactant that is totally consumed during a reaction, or the limiting reagent, decides when the process comes to an end. The precise quantity of reactant required to react with another element may be estimated from the reaction stoichiometry.

How do you identify a limiting reagent?

The limiting reactant is the one that is consumed first and sets a limit on the quantity of product(s) that can be produced. Calculate how many moles of each reactant are present and contrast this ratio with the mole ratio of the reactants in the balanced chemical equation to get the limiting reactant.

Start by writing the balanced chemical equation that describes this reaction

2Na_{(s)} + Cl_{2 (g)} -- > 2NaCl_{(s)}

Notice that the reaction consumes 2 moles of sodium metal for every 1 mole of chlorine gas that takes part in the reaction and produces 2 moles of sodium chloride.

now we can see that we have 3 moles of sodium and 3 moles of chlorine, according to question. so, we can say that sodium is the limiting reagent in the given situation.

How did Thomson discover the electron?
Hoochie [10]

J. J. Thomson discovered electron by performing an experiment using cathode ray tubes. High voltage across is applied across two electrodes at that  causes a beam of particles to flow from the the negatively-charged electrode that is  cathode to  the positively-charged electrode that is anode. Properties of the particles, are tested using two oppositely-charged electric plates around the cathode ray. The cathode ray was deflected away from the negatively-charged electric plate and towards the positively-charged plate. This indicated that the cathode ray was composed of negatively-charged particles. And these negatively charged particles are called electrons.
