Answer:

Explanation:

 .3(125)+.7(126)=37.5+88.2=125.7

2. The most common isotope is 32, because the average is very close to 32.

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For 1:</u> The correct answer is Option B.

<u>For 2:</u> The correct answer is Option D.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • <u>For 1:</u>

Average atomic mass is defined as the sum of masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.

The equation 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

We are given:

For every 100 atoms of X, 30 of them have a mass of 125.0 u and 70 of them have a mass of 126.0 u. This means that fractional abundance of X-125 isotope is 0.3 and that of X-126 isotope is 0.7

  • <u>For X-125 isotope:</u>

Mass of the isotope = 125

Fractional abundance of isotope = 0.3

  • <u>For X-126 isotope:</u>

Mass of the isotope = 126

Fractional abundance of isotope = 0.7

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Average atomic mass }=[(125\times 0.3)+(126\times 0.7)]=125.7u

Hence, the correct answer is Option B.

  • <u>For 2:</u>

We are given:

Average atomic mass of sulfur = 32.06 u

Sulfur has 4 naturally occurring isotopes: S-32, S-33, S-34 and S-36

As, the average atomic mass of sulfur lies closer to the mass of S-32 isotope. This means that the relative abundance of this isotope is the highest of all the other isotopes.

The 'S-32' isotope is the most common isotope of the given element.

Hence, the correct answer is Option D.

A piece of metal that has a density of 5.2 g/cm3 and a mass of 100 g was placed in a full jar of water. How many mL of water was
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

100g / (5.2g/cm3)

= 100g / (5.2g / 1cm3)

= 100g x 1cm3 / 5.2 g

= 19.2 cm3

Since 1 cm3 = 1 ml, your answer is 19.2 ml.

What is the mass in grams of 0.000142 mol of vitamin c
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

0.0250 g

Explanation:

Step 1: Determine the molar mass of Vitamin C.

The molar mass is the mass in grams corresponding to 1 mole. In order to calculate the molar mass of vitamin C (C₆H₈O₆) we need to add the molar masses of the elements that compose it.

M(C₆H₈O₆) = 6 × M(C) + 8 × M(H) + 6 × M(O)

M(C₆H₈O₆) = 6 × 12.01 g/mol + 8 × 1.01 g/mol + 6 × 16.00 g/mol

M(C₆H₈O₆) =  176.14 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate the mass corresponding to 0.000142 mol of vitamin C.

0.000142 mol \times \frac{176.14g}{mol} =0.0250 g
