Answer:

The percent isotopic abundance of C- 12 is 98.93 %

The percent isotopic abundance of C- 13 is 1.07 %

Explanation:

we know there are two naturally occurring isotopes of carbon, C-12 (12u)  and C-13 (13.003355)

First of all we will set the fraction for both isotopes

X for the isotopes having mass 13.003355

1-x for isotopes having mass 12

The average atomic mass of carbon is 12.0107

we will use the following equation,

13.003355x + 12 (1-x) = 12.0107

13.003355x + 12 - 12x = 12.0107

13.003355x- 12x = 12.0107 -12

1.003355x = 0.0107

x= 0.0107/1.003355

x= 0.0107

0.0107 × 100 = 1.07 %

1.07 % is abundance of C-13 because we solve the fraction x.

now we will calculate the abundance of C-12.

(1-x)

1-0.0107 =0.9893

0.9893 × 100= 98.93 %

98.93 % for C-12.

What is the mass in grams of KBr in 0.400 L of a 0.350 M solution???
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: 16.7 g of KBr

Explanation:

Data

mass KBr = ? g

Volume = 0.400 L

Concentration = 0.350 M

Formula

Molarity = moles / volume

moles = molarity x volume

Process

moles = (0.350)(0.400)

          = 0.14

MW KBr = 39 + 80 = 119 g

                                  119 g of KBr --------------------  1 mol

                                   x                 --------------------   0.14 mol

                                   x = (0.14 x 119) / 1

                                   x = 16.7 g of KBr

Which of the following reagents convert(s) benzoyl chloride to phenyl propyl ketone?a. CH3CH2CH2MgBrb. CH3CH2CH2Lic. (CH3CH2CH2)
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:C

(CH3CH2CH2)2CuLi

Explanation:

The reaction between acyl halides and Grignard reagents or acyl halides and organolithium compounds does not form ketones because the reagents ( Grignard reagent and organo lithium compounds) are too reactive hence the ketone intermediate reacts further to form tertiary alcohols hence the ketone cannot be isolated.

1. Consider the reaction: N2 (g) + O2 (g)  2NO (g) + Cl2 (g) A reaction mixture at 400 C has the following composition: [NO] =
Olegator [25]

Answer:

The reaction is not at the equilibrium, we have more products than reactants.

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Temperature = 400 °C

When Q=K, this means the system is at equilibrium. There will not be a shift to either the left or the right.

When Q<K,it means we have more reactants than products. The system will, as reaction, make more products, this will cause the equilibrium to move to the right.

When Q>K,it means we have more products than reactants. The system will, as reaction, make less products and more reactants, this will cause the equilibrium to move to the left.

[NO] = 0.01 M

[N2] = 0.001 M

[O2] = 0.001 M

Kc = 0.0156

Step 2: The balanced equation

N2 (g) + O2 (g) ⇆ 2NO (g) + Cl2 (g)

Step 3: Calculate Q

Q = [NO]²/[N2][O2]

Q = 0.01²/(0.01*0.001)

Q = 10

Q>>Kc

This means we have more products than reactants. The system will, as reaction, make less products and more reactants, this will cause the equilibrium to move to the left.

The reaction is not at the equilibrium, we have more products than reactants.
