What is the average atomic mass of all of the naturally occurring isotopes of nickel in amu?

1 answer:

3 0

In general chemistry, isotopes are substances that belong to one specific element. So, they all have the same atomic numbers. But they only differ in the mass numbers, or the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. In a nutshell, they only differ in the number of neutrons.

For Nickel, there are 5 naturally occurring isotopes. Their identities, masses and relative abundance are listed below

Isotope Abundance Atomic Mass
Ni-58 68.0769% 57.9353 amu
Ni-60 26.2231% 59.9308 amu
Ni-61 1.1399 % 60.9311 amu
Ni-62 3.6345% 61.9283 amu
Ni-64 0.9256% 63.9280 amu

To determine the average atomic mass of Nickel, the equation would be:
Average atomic mass = ∑Abundance×Atomic Mass

Using the equation, the answer would be:
Average atomic mass = 57.9353(68.0769%) + 59.9308(26.2231%) + 60.9311(1.1399%) + 61.9283(3.6345%) + 63.9280(0.9256%)

Average atomic mass = 58.6933 amu

If 0.50 mol/L of butane is added to the original equilibrium mixture and the system shifts to a new equilibrium position, what i

Ostrovityanka [42]

Consider the isomerization of butane with equilibrium constant is 2.5 .The system is originally at equilibrium with :

[butane]=1.0 M , [isobutane]=2.5 M

If 0.50 mol/L of butane is added to the original equilibrium mixture and the system shifts to a new equilibrium position, what is the equilibrium concentration of each gas?

Answer:

The equilibrium concentration of each gas:

[Butane] = 1.14 M

[isobutane] = 2.86 M

Explanation:

Butane ⇄ Isobutane

At equilibrium

1.0 M 2.5 M

After addition of 0.50 M of butane:

(1.0 + 0.50) M -

After equilibrium reestablishes:

(1.50-x)M (2.5+x)

The equilibrium expression will wriiten as:

$K_c=\frac{[Isobutane]}{[Butane]}$

$2.5=\frac{2.5+x}{(1.50-x)}$

x = 0.36 M

The equilibrium concentration of each gas:

[Butane]= (1.50-x) = 1.50 M - 0.36M = 1.14 M

[isobutane]= (2.5+x) = 2.50 M + 0.36 M = 2.86 M

Silver is a white metal that is an excellent conductor. Silver tarnishes when exposed to air and light. The density of silver is

Stells [14]

Answer:

c tarnishes in air

Explanation:

After silver has been exposed to air that contains sulphur gases, discoloration would occur. there would be darkening that is caused by the reaction with gases.When any silver object tarnishes, it brings about a disfiguring of that object. Hydrogen sulphide would be needed for this to happen. silver sulphide is black and a if a thin layer should form on any surface, it ill darken it. This is what we refer to as tarnishing.
