Lithium-6 has a mass of 6.0151 amu and lithium-7 has a mass of 7.0160 amu. The relative abundance of Li-6 is 7.42% and the relat

ive abundance of Li-7 is 92.58%. Based on this data alone, calculate the average atomic mass for lithium to the correct number of significant digits.

Average atomic mass is the weighted average atomic masses with regard to the relative abundance of the isotopes 
average atomic mass of Li = relative abundance of Li-6 x mass of Li-6 + relative abundance of Li-7 x mass of Li-7
average atomic mass of Li = (7.42% x 6.0151 a.m.u) + (92.58% x 7.0160 a.m.u)
                                           = 0.446 + 6.495
                                           = 6.941 amu
average atomic mass of Li is 6.941 amu

Answer: The average atomic mass of Lithium is 6.94 amu.

Explanation:

Mass of isotope Li-6 = 6.0151 amu

% abundance of isotope  Li-6 = 7.42%= \frac{7.42}{100}=0.0742

Mass of isotope Li-7=  7.0160

% abundance of isotope Li-7 = 92.58% = \frac{92.58}{100}=0.9258

Formula used for average atomic mass of an element :

\text{ Average atomic mass of an element}=\sum(\text{atomic mass of an isotopes}\times {{\text { fractional abundance}})

A=\sum[(6.0151\times 0.0742)+(7.0160\times 0.9258)]

A=6.94

Therefore, the average atomic mass of Lithium is 6.94 amu.

When a boron atom loses its valence electrons, what is the formula for the resulting ion?
kirill [66]

Answer:

option b. B3+

Explanation:

Boron takes the 5th position on the periodic table, therefore it has 5 electrons....2 on the inside and 3 on the outside. when it lost it 3 external electrons, it become positively charged with the amount of electron it loses.

Describe an experiment for the preparation and collection of Oxygen sodium peroxide​
vitfil [10]

Answer:

Making oxygen

Oxygen can be made from hydrogen peroxide, which decomposes slowly to form water and oxygen:

hydrogen peroxide → water + oxygen

2H2O2(aq) → 2H2O(l) + O2(g)

The rate of reaction can be increased using a catalyst, manganese(IV) oxide. When manganese(IV) oxide is added to hydrogen peroxide, bubbles of oxygen are given off.

Apparatus arranged to measure the volume of gas in a reaction. Reaction mixture is in a flask and gas travels out through a pipe in the top and down into a trough of water. It then bubbles up through a beehive shelf into an upturned glass jar filled with water. The gas collects at the top of the jar, forcing water out into the trough below.

To make oxygen in the laboratory, hydrogen peroxide is poured into a conical flask containing some manganese(IV) oxide. The gas produced is collected in an upside-down gas jar filled with water. As the oxygen collects in the top of the gas jar, it pushes the water out.

Instead of the gas jar and water bath, a gas syringe could be used to collect the oxygen.

A student found that the titration had taken 10.00 ml of 0.1002 m naoh to titration 0.132 g of aspirin, a monoprotic acid. calcu
Harman [31]
The balanced equation for the reaction between NaOH and aspirin is as follows;
NaOH + C₉H₈O₄ --> C₉H₇O₄Na + H₂O
stoichiometry of NaOH to C₉H₈O₄ is 1:1
The number of NaOH moles reacted - 0.1002 M / 1000 mL/L x 10.00 mL 
Number of NaOH  moles - 0.001002 mol
Therefore number of moles of aspirin - 0.001002 mol
Mass of aspirin reacted - 0.001002 mol x 180.2 g/mol = 0.18 g
However the mass of the aspirin sample is 0.132 g but 0.18 g of aspirin has reacted, therefore this question is not correct.
