An unknown element (called Z) is being researched in the lab. Scientists perform mass spectrophotometry on a sample of the eleme

nt Z and find the element has four isotopes (mass data below). Use the data in the table to determine the average atomic mass of the unknown element Z.
Isotope Atomic Mass Abundance
Z - 24 23.985 amu 78.90%
Z - 25 24.995 amu 10.00%
Z - 26 25.982 amu 11.00%
Z - 28 27.967 amu 0.10%

The average atomic mass is = ∑Mi X (Percentage)i / 100

Mi = atomic mass of isotope

Percentage = the percentage of that isotope

so for given

sotope Atomic Mass Abundance

Z - 24 23.985 amu 78.90%

Z - 25 24.995 amu 10.00%

Z - 26 25.982 amu 11.00%

Z - 28 27.967 amu 0.10%

The average atomic mass

= (23.985 X 78.90% + 24.995 X 10.00% + 25.982X 11.00%  + 27.967 X 0.10%) / 100

= 24.3097 amu

A rigid container of O 2 has a pressure of 340 kPa at a temperature of 713 K. What is the pressure at 273°C ?
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

260 kPa

Explanation:

To answer this problem we can use <em>Gay-Lussac's law</em>, which states that at a constant volume (such as is the case with a rigid container):

  • P₁T₂=P₂T₁

Where in this case:

  • P₁ = 340 kPa
  • T₂ = 273 °C ⇒ 273 + 273.16 = 546 K
  • P₂ = ?
  • T₁ = 713 K

We <u>input the data</u>:

  • 340 kPa * 546 K = P₂ * 713 K

And <u>solve for P₂</u>:

  • P₂ =  260 kPa

What is the molecular formula of a compound with the empirical formula CH and a molar mass of 39.01 grams per mole? a.CH b. C2H2
likoan [24]
So knowing the mass of C and H, C=12g and H=1g. We can have 3 C's (3*12=36) and 3 H's (3*1=3) so 36+3 is 39. Plus C3H3 has an empirical formula of CH since C3H3 can be simplified
