Answer:

1258 g HNO3

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the grams of Fe we have using the density and the volume given. For this, use the definition of density which is:

Density = mass / volume

So

Mass = Density x volume

For the statement, the volume of Fe will be:

Volume = (4.5 cm)(3.0 cm)(3.5 cm) = 47.2 cm^3

And as 1 cm^3 is equal to 1 mL, then:

Volume = 47.2 mL

So the mass of Fe we have is:

Mass = (7.87 g/mL)(47.2 mL) = 371.9 g Fe

To find the amount of nitic acid that reacts we need to work with moles, then:

Moles of Fe = 371.9gFe (\frac{1 mole Fe}{55.85 gFe})=6.658 moles Fe

And as the balanced reaction is  2Fe + 6HNO3 → 2Fe(NO3)3 + 3H2, then the moles of nitric acid that reacts with the given amount of iron is:

Moles of HNO3 = 6.658moleFe (\frac{6 moles HNO3}{2 moles Fe} )=19.97 moles HNO3

But they are asking for the grams that react, so we need the molecular mass of HNO3 to do the conversion

Molecular mass of HNO3 = 1.008 g H + 14.01 g N + 3(16.00 g O) = 63.02 g HNO3

Finally, the mass of HNO3 that reacts with the amount of iron given is:

mass HNO3 = 19.97molesHNO3 (\frac{63.02 g HNO3}{1 mole HNO3} ) = 1258 g HNO3

Balance the equation first: 

2 Fe+6 HNO3→2 Fe(NO3)3+3H2

Then calculate mass of Iron :

4.5×3.0×3.5 cm3(1 mL1 cm3)(7.87 g Fe1 ml)=371.86 g Fe

Now use Stoichiometry:

371.86 g Fe×(1 mol Fe55.85 g Fe)×(6 mol HNO32 mol Fe)=19.97 mol HNO3

Convert moles of nitric acid to grams

19.97 mol HNO3×(63.01 g HNO31 mol HNO3)=1258.3 g HNO3

A hypothetical element has an atomic weight of 48.68 amu. It consists of three isotopes having masses of 47.00 amu, 48.00 amu, a
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer : The percent abundance of the heaviest isotope is, 78 %

Explanation :

Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.

Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:

\text{Average atomic mass }=\sum_{i=1}^n\text{(Atomic mass of an isotopes)}_i\times \text{(Fractional abundance})_i

As we are given that,

Average atomic mass = 48.68 amu

Mass of heaviest-weight isotope = 49.00 amu

Let the percentage abundance of heaviest-weight isotope = x %

Fractional abundance of heaviest-weight isotope = \frac{x}{100}

Mass of lightest-weight isotope = 47.00 amu

Percentage abundance of lightest-weight isotope = 10 %

Fractional abundance of lightest-weight isotope = \frac{10}{100}

Mass of middle-weight isotope = 48.00 amu

Percentage abundance of middle-weight isotope = [100 - (x + 10)] %  = (90 - x) %

Fractional abundance of middle-weight isotope = \frac{(90-x)}{100}

Now put all the given values in above formula, we get:

48.68=[(47.0\times \frac{10}{100})+(48.0\times \frac{(90-x)}{100})+(49.0\times \frac{x}{100})]

x=78\%

Therefore, the percent abundance of the heaviest isotope is, 78 %
