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 solution contains [Ba2+] = 5.0 × 10−5 M, [Zn2+] = 2.0 × 10−7 M, and [Ag+] = 3.0 × 10−5 M. Sodium oxalate (Na2C2O4) is slowly a
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

BaC₂O₄, then ZnC₂O₄, then Ag₂C₂O₄  

Explanation:

1. Calculate the equilibrium concentrations of oxalate ion

Let [C₂O₄²⁻] = c

(a) Barium oxalate

                 BaC₂O₄ ⇌   Ba²⁺   + C₂O₄²⁻

E/mol·L⁻¹:                   5.0 × 10⁻⁵     c

Ksp = [Ba²⁺][C₂O₄²⁻] = 5.0 × 10⁻⁵c = 1.5 × 10⁻⁸

c = (1.5 × 10⁻⁸)/(5.0 × 10⁻⁵) = 3.0 × 10⁻⁴ mol·L⁻¹

(b) Zinc oxalate

                ZnC₂O₄ ⇌   Zn²⁺   + C₂O₄²⁻

E/mol·L⁻¹:                 2.0 × 10⁻⁷      c

Ksp = [Zn²⁺][C₂O₄²⁻] = 2.0 × 10⁻⁷c = 1.35 × 10⁻⁹

c = (1.35 × 10⁻⁹)/(2.0 × 10⁻⁷) = 6.8 × 10⁻³ mol·L⁻¹

(c) Silver oxalate

                 Ag₂C₂O₄ ⇌   2Ag⁺   +   C₂O₄²⁻  

E/mol·L⁻¹:                      3.0 × 10⁻⁵       c

Ksp = [Ag⁺]²[C₂O₄²⁻] = (3.0× 10⁻⁵)²c = 9.0 × 10⁻¹⁰c = 1.1 × 10⁻¹¹

c = (1.1 × 10⁻¹¹)/(9.0 × 10⁻¹⁰) = 0.012 mol·L⁻¹

2. Decide the order of precipitation

BaC₂O₄ will precipitate when   c > 3.0 × 10⁻⁴ mol·L⁻¹

ZnC₂O₄ will precipitate when   c > 6.8 × 10⁻³ mol·L⁻¹

Ag₂C₂O₄ will precipitate when c > 0.028       mol·L⁻¹

This happens to be the order of increasing concentration of oxalate ion.

The order of precipitation is

BaC₂O₄, then ZnC₂O₄, then Ag₂C₂O₄

For which of the following reactions is S° > 0. Choose all that apply. N2(g) + 3H2(g) 2NH3(g) 2C2H6(g) + 7O2(g) 4CO2(g) + 6H2
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer: 2C_2H_6(g)+7O_2(g)\rightarrow 4CO_2(g)+6H_2O(g)

NH_4I(s)\rightarrow NH_3(g)+HI(g)

2H_2O(g)+2SO_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2S(g)+3O_2(g)

Explanation:

Entropy is the measure of randomness or disorder of a system.

A system has positive value of entropy if the disorder increases and a system has negative value of entropy if the disorder decreases.

1. N_2(g)+3H_2(g)\rightarrow 2NH_3(g)

As 4 moles of gaseous reactants are changing to 2 moles of gaseous products,  the randomness is decreasing and the entropy is negative

2. 2C_2H_6(g)+7O_2(g)\rightarrow 4CO_2(g)+6H_2O(g)

As 9 moles of gaseous reactants are changing to 10 moles of gaseous products,  the randomness is increasing and the entropy is positive.

3. NH_4I(s)\rightarrow NH_3(g)+HI(g)

As 1 mole of solid reactants is changing to 2 moles of gaseous products, the randomness is increasing and the entropy is positive.

4. 2H_2O(g)+2SO_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2S(g)+3O_2(g)

As 4 moles of gaseous reactants is changing to 5 moles of gaseous products, the randomness is increasing and the entropy is positive

5. 2NO(g)+2H_2(g)\rightarrow N_2(g)+2H_2O(l)

As 4 moles of gaseous reactants is changing to 1 moles of gaseous products, the randomness is decreasing and the entropy is negative.

Match the following chemical reactions:
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

Synthesis - 4

reversible- 2

exchange- 1

decomposition-3

Explanation:

In synthesis reaction two or more components combines to form a single product. example 2H2+O2⇒2H2O

In reversible reaction two reactants combine to form two products . The products then reacts and forms back the reactants. example N2 +3H2 ⇒2NH3

In exchange reaction there is an alternation of ions of reactants to form new products. AB+CD ⇒AC + BD

In decomposition reaction, molecules of a compound break down by the action of heat or light or catalyst. example CaCO3 ⇒CaO +CO2
