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.

An atom has radius of 227 pm and crystallizes in a body-centered cubic unit cell. What is the volume of the unit cell
sdas [7]

We will see that the volume of the unit cell is 144,070,699.06 pm^3

<h3>How to get the volume of a body-centered cubic unit cell?</h3>

In a body-centered cubic unit cell, the side length of the cube is given as:

S = \frac{4}{\sqrt{3} } *R

Where R is the radius of the atom.

And the volume of a cube is the side length cubed, then we can see that the volume of our cube will be:

V = S^3 = (\frac{4}{\sqrt{3} }*227pm)^3

Solving that we get:

V  = (\frac{4}{\sqrt{3} }*227pm)^3 = 144,070,699.06pm^3

This is the approximated volume of the unit cell.

Consider the reaction of magnesium metal with hydrochloric acid to produce magnesium chloride and hydrogen gas. If 3.29 mol of m
gregori [183]

Answer:

1.645 moles of excess reactant that is of magnesium metal are left over.

Explanation:

Moles of magnesium metal = 3.29 mol

Moles of HCl = 3.29 mol

Mg(s)+2HCl(aq)\rightarrow MgCl_2(aq)+H_2(g)

According to recation, 2 moles of HCl reacts with 1 mol of magnesium metal, then 3.29 moles of HCl will react with :

\frac{1}{2}\times 3.29 mol=1.645 mol of magnesium metal

Moles of HCl left = 3.29mol - 3.29 mol = 0

Moles of magnesium metal left = 3.29 mol - 1.645 mol = 1.645 mol

1.645 moles of excess reactant that is of magnesium metal are left over.

How a cold front affects weather.
miskamm [114]

Answer:

A cold front forms when a cold air mass pushes into a warmer air mass. Cold fronts can produce dramatic changes in the weather. ... As the cold front passes, winds become gusty. There is a sudden drop in temperature, and also heavy rain, sometimes with hail, thunder, and lightning.
