Consider two samples of carbon. One is a sample of one mole of carbon atoms obtained from the environment (i.e. isotopes are pre

sent according to their natural abundance), and the other is a sample of one mole of carbon-12 atoms (i.e. isotopically pure). Which sample has a higher mass, or are they both the same mass? Justify your answer, either with words or mathematically

Answer:

The sample obtained from the environment has a higher mass

Explanation:

A simple way to put the answer is that the element carbon -as found in nature- has a molar mass of 12.0107 g/mol, because there are a few isotopes of 14C and 13C; and <em>the molar mass is an expression of the isotopes' natural abundance</em>.

So 1 mole of carbon obtained from the environment would weigh 12.0107 g, while a sample of isotopically pure carbon would weigh 12.0000 g.

What is the molarity of a 10 L solution containing 5.0 moles of solute?
Setler79 [48]
Molarity = Moles of solute/ L(liters) of solution

So let's plug in the information.

if you react 100g of ammonium chloride with excess calcium oxide, what Is the theoretical yeild (in grams) of ammonia? when you
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

31.78 grams

25.55%

Explanation:

The balanced reaction for ammonium chloride with calcium oxide will be:

2NH4Cl + Ca(OH)2 ---> CaCl2 + 2NH3 + 2H2O

The molecular weight for ammonium chloride(NH4Cl ) is 53.49g/mol, while the molecular weight for ammonium(NH3) is 17g/mol. The number of theoretical yield of ammonia from 100g of ammonium chloride will be:

100g / (53.49g/mol) * 2/2  * 17g/mol= 31.78 grams

If the actual yield is 8.12g, the percent yield will be: 8.12g/31.78g * 100% =25.55%
