atomic mass=percentage of isotope a * mass of  isotope a + percentage of isotope b * mass of  isotope b+...+percentage of isotope n * mass of isotope n.

Data:
mass of isotope₁=267.8 u
percentage of isotope₁=90.3%

mass of isotope₂=270.9 u
percentage of isotope₂=9.7%

Therefore:

atomic mass=(0.903)(267.8 u)+(0.097)(270.9 u)=
=241.8234 u + 26.2773 u≈268.1 u

Answer: the mass atomic of this element would be 268.1 u

What is the Ka of a 0.0796 M solution of nitrous acid (HNO2) with a pH of 2.95?
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Coefficient = 1.58

Exponent = - 5

Explanation:

pH = 2.95

Molar concentration = 0.0796M

Ka = [H+]^2 / [HA]

Ka = [H+]^2 / 0.0796

Therefore ;

[H+] = 10^-2.95

[H+] = 0.0011220 = 1.122 × 10^-3

Ka = [H+] / molar concentration

Ka = [1.122 × 10^-3]^2 / 0.0796

Ka = (1.258884 × 10^-6) / 0.0796

Ka = 15.815 × 10^-6

Ka = 1.58 × 10^-5

Coefficient = 1.58

Exponent = - 5
