Gallium has two naturally occurring isotopes (Ga-69 and Ga-71) and has an atomic mass of 69.723 amu. The mass of Ga-71 is 70.925

amu, and its natural abundance is 39.892%.
Calculate the atomic mass (in amu) and natural abundance (in %) of the second isotope.

The answers are: 
- natural abundance: 60.108%
- atomic mass: 68.926 amu

The atomic mass of an element is the average of the atomic masses of its isotopes. The relative abundance of isotopes must be taken into consideration, therefore:
atomic mass of copper = atomic mass of isotope 1 * abundance 1 + atomic mass of isotope 2 * abundance 2

We know:
atomic mass of copper = 69.723 <span>amu
</span>The atomic mass of Ga-71 is: 70.925 amu
The abundance of Ga-69 is:  39.892% = 0.39892
The atomic mass of Ga-69 is: x
The abundance of Ga-69 is: 100% - 39.892% = 60.108% = 0.60108


Thus:
69.723 amu = 70.925 amu * 0.39892 + x * 0.60108
69.723 <span>amu = 28.293 amu + 0.60108x
</span>⇒ 69.723 amu - 28.293  amu = 0.60108x
⇒ 41.430 amu =  0.60108x
   ⇒ x = 41.430 amu ÷ 0.60108 = 68.926 amu

g What volume (mL) of the partially neutralized stomach acid was neutralized by NaOH during the titration? (portion of 25.00 mL
Pani-rosa [81]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

What volume (mL) of the partially neutralized stomach acid having concentration 2M was neutralized by 0.01 M NaOH during the titration? (portion of 25.00 mL NaOH sample was used; this was the HCl remaining after the antacid tablet did it's job)

<u>Answer:</u> The volume of HCl neutralized is 0.125 mL

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the concentration of acid, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2

where,

n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1 are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is HCl (Stomach acid)

n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2 are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is NaOH.

We are given:

n_1=1\\M_1=2M\\V_1=?mL\\n_2=1\\M_2=0.01M\\V_2=25mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1\times 2\times V_1=1\times 0.01\times 25\\\\V_1=\frac{1\times 0.01\times 25}{1\times 2}=0.125mL

Hence, the volume of HCl neutralized is 0.125 mL

What’s the difference between heterogeneous and homogeneous mixtures?
Ronch [10]

Answer:

Mixtures can be either homogeneous or heterogeneous. A mixture in which its constituents are distributed uniformly is called homogeneous mixture, such as salt in water. A mixture in which its constituents are not distributed uniformly is called heterogeneous mixture, such as sand in water.

What volume (in milliliters) at stp will be occupied by 0.0035 mol of methane, ch4?
Lelechka [254]

Answer is: volume of methane is 78.4 mL.

n(CH₄) = 0.0035 mol.

At standard pressure and temperature:

V(CH₄) = n(CH₄) · Vm

V(CH₄) = 0.0035 mol · 22.4 L/mol.

V(CH₄) = 0.0784 L · 1000 mL/L = 78.4 mL.

Vm - molar volume.
