The average atomic mass of oxygen is 15.9994 amu. The atomic masses of its three isotopes are as follows: O-16: 15.995 amu; O-17

: 16.999 amu; O-18: 17.999 amu Which isotope is most likely to have the greatest abundance in nature? O–16 O–17 O–18 all three isotopes may be equally abundant

The average atomic mass of oxygen is the atomic mass with respect to 1/12th the mass of a C-12 atom, related to natural abundance. 
amu - atomic mass units 
O-16 - 15.995 amu
O-17 - 16.999 amu
O-18 - 17.999 amu
the average atomic mass is 15.9994 amu
average atomic mass = ∑atomic mass of each isotope * relative abundance percentage
in other words the average atomic mass is closer to the atomic mass of the most abundant isotope. In this case 15.9994 is closest to 15.995 amu which is the atomic mass of O-16.
This means that O-16 is the most abundant isotope.

A baby weighs 7 pounds, 4 ounces at birth and 7 pounds, I ounce at discharge. What percent of weight did the baby lose
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

2.6%

Explanation:

As, 1 ounce (oz) =  0.0625 pounds (lb)

Therefore, weight of baby at discharge = 7 lb,1 oz = 7+0.0625 lb = 7.0625 lb

Since, 1 oz =  0.0625 lb

⇒ 4 oz = 4×0.0625 = 0.25 lb

Therefore, weight of baby at birth = 7 lb,4 oz = 7+0.25 lb = 7.25 lb

The <u>amount of weight lost</u> is equal to the difference of weight of the baby at birth and discharge.

Therefore, <u>weight lost</u> = 7.25 lb - 7.0625 lb = <u>0.1875 lb</u>

Now, the <u>percentage of weight lost</u> by the baby is given by the amount of weight lost divided by the weight of the baby at birth.

Therefore, <u>the percentage of weight los</u>t = weight lost ÷ weight at birth = 0.1875 lb ÷ 7.25 lb × 100 = <u>2.6% </u>

Use the standard reaction enthalpies given below to determine ΔH°rxn for the following reaction:P4(g) + 10 Cl2(g) → 4PCl5(s) ΔH°
miskamm [114]

<u>Answer:</u> The \Delta H^o_{rxn} for the reaction is -1835 kJ.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Hess’s law of constant heat summation states that the amount of heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation remains the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

According to this law, the chemical equation is treated as ordinary algebraic expressions and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. This means that the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is equal to the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.

The given chemical reaction follows:

P_4(g)+10Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 4PCl_5(s)      \Delta H^o_{rxn}=?

The intermediate balanced chemical reaction are:

(1) PCl_5(s)\rightarrow PCl_3(g)+Cl_2(g)    \Delta H_1=157kJ   ( × 4)

(2) P_4(g)+6Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 4PCl_3(g)     \Delta H_2=-1207kJ

The expression for enthalpy of the reaction follows:

\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[4\times (-\Delta H_1)]+[1\times \Delta H_2]

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta H^o_{rxn}=[(4\times (-157))+(1\times (-1207))=-1835kJ

Hence, the \Delta H^o_{rxn} for the reaction is -1835 kJ.

Choose a reasonable explanation to account for the differences. There may be more than one possible reason that makes sense, jus
Ugo [173]

Answer:

A. It is possible not all of the water was evaporated from the sand, causing the recovered mass to be higher

D. While drying the NaCl, the liquid boiled and some splattered out of the evaporating dish, causing the recovered mass to be higher.

Explanation:

Sand absorbs water and stores it. The sunlight causes the water to evaporate but sand can hold some of the water inside it. This results in increase in mass of the sand. The mass of sand before and after the water evaporation can be different.
