Naturally occurring magnesium has an atomic mass of 24.312 and consists of three isotopes. The major isotope is Mg24, natural ab

undance 78.99%, relative atomic mass 23.98504. The next most abundant isotope is Mg26, relative atomic mass 25.98259. The third most abundant isotope is Mg25 whose natural abundance is in the ratio of 0.9083 to that of Mg26. Find the relative atomic mass of Mg25.

Answer:

25.05533 amu

Explanation:

The formula for the calculation of the average atomic mass is:

Average\ atomic\ mass=(\frac {\%\ of\ the\ first\ isotope}{100}\times {Mass\ of\ the\ first\ isotope})+(\frac {\%\ of\ the\ second\ isotope}{100}\times {Mass\ of\ the\ second\ isotope})+(\frac {\%\ of\ the\ third\ isotope}{100}\times {Mass\ of\ the\ third\ isotope})

The % of Mg 24 = 78.99 %

Let the % of Mg 26 = x %

The % of Mg 25 = 0.9083 x%

Thus, 78.99 + x + 0.9083 x = 100

x = 11.01 %

% of Mg 25 = 10 %

Given that:

For first isotope:

% = 78.99 %

Mass = 23.98504 amu

For second isotope:

% = 11.01 %

Mass = 25.98259 amu

For third isotope:

% = 10 %

Mass = A amu

Average mass = 24.312 amu

Thus,  24.312=\frac{78.99}{100}\times \:23.98504+\frac{11.01}{100}\times \:25.98259+\frac{10}{100}\times \:A

A = 25.05533 amu

3. Given 20g of Barium Hydroxide, how many grams of
anastassius [24]

The number of grams of ammonium nitrate (NH₄NO₃) it would take for all the barium hydroxide to react is 18.7g

First, we will write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is

Ba(OH)₂ + 2NH₄NO₃ → 2NH₄OH + Ba(NO₃)₂

This means, 1 mole of barium hydroxide is required to react with 2 moles of ammonium nitrate

Now, we will calculate the number of moles of barium hydroxide present.

Mass of barium hydroxide (Ba(OH)₂) = 20 g

Using the formula

Number\ of\ moles = \frac{Mass}{Molar\ mass}

Molar mass of Ba(OH)₂ = 171.34 g/mol

∴ Number of moles of Ba(OH)₂ present =\frac{20}{171.34}

Number of moles of Ba(OH)₂ present = 0.116727 mole

Now,

Since 1 mole of barium hydroxide is required to react with 2 moles of ammonium nitrate

Then,

0.116727 mole of barium hydroxide will react with 2 × 0.116727 mole of ammonium nitrate

2 × 0.116727 = 0.233454 mole

∴ Number of moles of NH₄NO₃ required is 0.233454 mole

Now, for the mass of ammonium nitrate (NH₄NO₃) required

From the formula

Mass = Number of moles × Molar mass

Molar mass of NH₄NO₃ = 80.043 g/mol

∴ Mass of NH₄NO₃ required = 0.233454 × 80.043

Mass of NH₄NO₃ required = 18.68636 g

Mass of NH₄NO₃ required ≅ 18.7g

Hence, the number of grams of ammonium nitrate (NH₄NO₃) it would take for all the barium hydroxide to react is 18.7g

A 6.40 g sample of a compound is burned to produce 8.37 g CO_2, 2.75 g H_2O, 1.06 g N_2, and 1.23 g SO_2. What is the empirical
LuckyWell [14K]

The empirical formula :

C₁₀H₁₆N₄SO₇

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

6.4 g sample

Required

The empirical formula

Solution

mass C :

= 12/44 x 8.37 g

= 2.28

mass H :

= 2/18 x 2.75 g

= 0.305

mass N = 1.06

mass S :

= 32/64 x 1.23

= 0.615

mass O = 6.4 - (2.28+0.305+1.06+0.615) = 2.14 g

Mol ratio :

= C : H : N : S : O

= 2.28/12 : 0.305/1 : 1.06/14 : 0.615/32 : 2.14/16

= 0.19 : 0.305 : 0.076 : 0.019 : 0.133 divided by 0.019

= 10 : 16 : 4 : 1 : 7

The empirical formula :

C₁₀H₁₆N₄SO₇

Why is a balanced symbol equation better at describing the reaction than a word equation
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

The advantages described below

Explanation:

Advantages of a balanced chemical equation versus word equation:

  • easier to read: chemical equations typically only take one line and they include all the relevant information needed. They are short-hand notations for what we describe in words.
  • balanced chemical equations show molar ratio in which reactants react and the molar ratio of the products. Those are coefficients in front of the species. This is typically not included in a word equation, for example, hydrochloric acid reacts with potassium hydroxide. The latter statement doesn't describe the molar ratio and stoichiometry.
  • includes relevant information, such as catalysts, temperature and pressure above the arrow in the equation. We wouldn't have this in a word equation most of the time.
  • shows the stoichiometry of each compound itself, e. g. if we state 'ammonia', we don't know what atoms it consists of as opposed to NH_3].
  • includes states of matter: aqueous, liquid, gas, solid. This would often be included in a word equation, however.
