2.3 Zinc has five naturally occurring isotopes: 48.63% of 64 Zn with an atomic weight of 63.929 amu; 27.90% of 66Zn with an atom

lakkis [162]

Answer: The average atomic mass of element Zinc is 65.40 amu.

Explanation:

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

Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:

$\text{Average atomic mass }=\sum_{i=1}^n\text{(Atomic mass of an isotopes)}_i\times \text{(Fractional abundance})_i$ .....(1)

For $_{30}^{64}\textrm{Zn}$ isotope:

Mass of $_{30}^{64}\textrm{Zn}$ isotope = 63.929 amu

Percentage abundance of $_{30}^{64}\textrm{Zn}$ isotope = 48.63 %

Fractional abundance of $_{30}^{64}\textrm{Zn}$ isotope = 0.4863

For $_{30}^{66}\textrm{Zn}$ isotope:

Mass of $_{30}^{66}\textrm{Zn}$ isotope = 65.926 amu

Percentage abundance of $_{30}^{66}\textrm{Zn}$ isotope = 27.90 %

Fractional abundance of $_{30}^{66}\textrm{Zn}$ isotope = 0.2790

For $_{30}^{67}\textrm{Zn}$ isotope:

Mass of $_{30}^{67}\textrm{Zn}$ isotope = 66.927 amu

Percentage abundance of $_{30}^{67}\textrm{Zn}$ isotope = 4.10 %

Fractional abundance of $_{30}^{67}\textrm{Zn}$ isotope = 0.0410

For $_{30}^{68}\textrm{Zn}$ isotope:

Mass of $_{30}^{68}\textrm{Zn}$ isotope = 67.925 amu

Percentage abundance of $_{30}^{68}\textrm{Zn}$ isotope = 18.75 %

Fractional abundance of $_{30}^{68}\textrm{Zn}$ isotope = 0.1875

For $_{30}^{70}\textrm{Zn}$ isotope:

Mass of $_{30}^{70}\textrm{Zn}$ isotope = 69.925 amu

Percentage abundance of $_{30}^{70}\textrm{Zn}$ isotope = 0.62 %

Fractional abundance of $_{30}^{70}\textrm{Zn}$ isotope = 0.0062

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Average atomic mass of Zinc}=[(63.929\times 0.4863)+(65.926\times 0.2790)+(66.927\times 0.0410)+(67.925\times 0.1875)+(69.925\times 0.0062)]$

$\text{Average atomic mass of Zinc}=65.40amu$

Hence, the average atomic mass of element Zinc is 65.40 amu.

At which temperature is water in its gas phase (water vapor)?

tankabanditka [31]

Answer: (Assuming we’re going by degrees Fahrenheit) I’d say 140.

Explanation: -40 would be beyond freezing point for water which is 32 degrees Fahrenheit and 40 would nearly be freezing point. For water to transform into its gas phase, the temperature would need to be greater. Therefore, 140 degrees Fahrenheit makes the most sense.

Although I did search it up and 212 degrees Fahrenheit (100 degrees Celsius) is the proven temperature at which water transforms into water vapor so... not sure if there’s more to the question or I’m interpreting the question wrong.
