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%

A 3.00-kg block of copper at 23.0°C is dropped into a large vessel of liquid nitrogen at 77.3 K. How many kilograms of nitrogen

hammer [34]

Answer:

1.2584kg of nitrogen boils.

Explanation:

Consider the energy balance for the overall process. There are not heat or work fluxes to the system, so the total energy keeps the same.

For the explanation, the 1 and 2 subscripts will mean initial and final state, and C and N2 superscripts will mean copper and nitrogen respectively; also, liq and vap will mean liquid and vapor phase respectively.

The overall energy balance for the whole system is:

$U_1=U_2$

The state 1 is just composed by two phases, the solid copper and the liquid nitrogen, so: $U_1=U_1^C+U_1^{N_2}$

The state 2 is, by the other hand, composed by three phases, solid copper, liquid nitrogen and vapor nitrogen, so:

$U_2=U_2^C+U_{2,liq}^{N_2}+U_{2,vap}^{N_2}$

So, the overall energy balance is:

$U_1^C+U_1^{N_2}=U_2^C+U_{2,liq}^{N_2}+U_{2,vap}^{N_2}$

Reorganizing,

$U_1^C-U_2^C=U_{2,liq}^{N_2}+U_{2,vap}^{N_2}-U_1^{N_2}$

The left part of the equation can be written in terms of the copper Cp because for solids and liquids Cp≅Cv. The right part of the equation is written in terms of masses and specific internal energy:

$m_C*Cp*(T_1^C-T_2^C)=m_{2,liq}^{N_2}u_{2,liq}^{N_2}+m_{2,vap}^{N_2}u_{2,vap}^{N_2}-m_1^{N_2}u_1^{N_2}$

Take in mind that, for the mass balance for nitrogen, $m_1^{N_2}=m_{2,liq}^{N_2}+m_{2,vap}^{N_2}$ ,

So, let's replace $m_1^{N_2}$ in the energy balance:

$m_C*Cp*(T_1^C-T_2^C)=m_{2,liq}^{N_2}u_{2,liq}^{N_2}+m_{2,vap}^{N_2}u_{2,vap}^{N_2}-m_{2,liq}^{N_2}u_1^{N_2}-m_{2,vap}^{N_2}u_1^{N_2}$

So, as you can see, the term $m_{2,liq}^{N_2}u_{2,liq}^{N_2}$ disappear because $u_{2,liq}^{N_2}=u_{1,liq}^{N_2}$ (The specific energy in the liquid is the same because the temperature does not change).

$m_C*Cp*(T_1^C-T_2^C)=m_{2,vap}^{N_2}u_{2,vap}^{N_2}-m_{2,vap}^{N_2}u_1^{N_2}$

$m_C*Cp*(T_1^C-T_2^C)=m_{2,vap}^{N_2}(u_{2,vap}^{N_2}-u_1^{N_2})$

The difference $(u_{2,vap}^{N_2}-u_1^{N_2})$ is the latent heat of vaporization because is the specific energy difference between the vapor and the liquid phases, so:

$m_{2,vap}^{N_2}=\frac{m_C*Cp*(T_1^C-T_2^C)}{(u_{2,vap}^{N_2}-u_1^{N_2})}$

$m_{2,vap}^{N_2}=\frac{3kg*0.092\frac{cal}{gC} *(296.15K-77.3K)}{48.0\frac{cal}{g}}\\m_{2,vap}^{N_2}=1.2584kg$

A physician ordered 5.0 mg of methylprednisolone. Calculate the ccs required if methylprednisolone is available as 10 mg/2 cc.

notsponge [240]

The ccs required if methylprednisolone is available as 10 mg/2 cc is 11642.4 mcg

Here for 100 units of heparin 1 ml is required. Now for forty units of heparin (1/100)*40ml = 0.4ml of heparin is required.

For 10mg of methylprednisolone, 2mL is required. So for 5.0mg of methylprednisolone, (2/10)×5.0 mL = 1 mL is required.
For 125mg(0.125g) vancomycin, 1mL is required.So for 0.25g vancomycin, (1/0.125)×0.25mL = 2mL is required.
For 1kilogram per minute, the doctor ordered 2mcg of propofol.
For 10kilogram per minute, the doctor ordered 20mcg of propofol.
Now, for 44lb(= 44×2.205kg) per minute the doctor has to order 44×2.205×2 mcg = 194.04mcg of propofol .
So now per hour, the 44lb patient requires 194.04×60mcg = 11642.4 mcg of propofol.
