Answer:

Abundance of Ga 70.925 is 0.399 and percentage abundance of Ga 39.9%

Abundance of Ga 68.926 is 0.601 and percentage abundance is 60.1 %.

Explanation:

we know there are two naturally occurring isotopes of gallium Ga 68.926 and Ga 70.925.

First of all we will set the fraction for both isotopes

X for the isotopes having mass 70.925

1-x for isotopes having mass 68.926

The average atomic mass of Ga is 69.72.

we will use the following equation,

70.925 x + 68.926 (1-x) = 69.72

70.925 x + 68.926 - 68.926x = 69.72

70.925x- 68.926x = 69.72 - 68.926

1.99 x = 0.794

x= 0.794/ 1.99

x= 0.399

abundance of Ga 70.925 is 0.399, because we solve the fraction x.

0.399 × 100 = 39.9 %

39.9 % is percentage abundance of Ga 70.925

now we will calculate the abundance of Ga 68.926.

(1-x)

1 - 0.399 = 0.601

abundance of Ga 68.926 is 0.601 and percentage abundance is

0.601 × 100= 60.1 %

What is the solution to the problem expressed to the correct number of significant figures

quester [9]

I don't know what the problem is, but here are some rues to help you out:

All non-zero figures are significant
When a zero falls between non-zero digits, that zero is significant.
When a zero falls after a decimal point, that zero is significant.
When multiplying and dividing significant figures, the answer is limited to the number of sig figs equal to the least number of sig figs in the problem.
When adding and subtracting, the answer is limited to the number of decimal places in the number with the least number of decimal places.

The degree to which a weak base dissociates is given by the base-ionization constant, Kb. For the generic weak base, B B(aq)+H2O

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

pH of a 0,245 M ammonia solution is 11,3 and percent ionization is 0,86%

Explanation:

For the equilibrium buffer of NH₃:

NH₃ + H₂O ⇄ NH₄⁺ + OH⁻; kb = 1,8x10⁻⁵

kb = [NH₄⁺] [OH⁻] / [NH₃] (1)

When 0,245 M of NH₃ is added, the equilibrium concentrations are:

[NH₃] = 0,245 - x

[NH₄⁺] = x

[OH⁻] = x.

Replacing this values in (1)

$1,8x10^{-5} = \frac{x^2}{0,245 - x}$

x² + 1,8x10⁻⁵x - 4,41x10⁻⁶ = 0

Solving for x:

x = -0,00211 No physical sense. There are not negative concentrations.

x = 0,00211 Real answer

Thus [OH⁻] in equilibrium is 0,00211 M.

As pOH = -log [OH⁻] and 14 = pH + pOH

pH of 0,00211 M is 11,3

It is possible to calculate the percent ionization thus:

Percent ionization = [OH−] equilibrium / [B] initial×100%

Replacing:

0,00211 / 0,245 × 100 = 0,86%

I hope it helps!
