Let's write the reaction first.

HCl + H₂O ---> H₃O⁺ + Cl⁻

These reaction has two reactants, either the proton donor or the proton acceptor. Water is amphoteric, meaning it can act as an acid or base. Since HCl is an acid, then water in this reaction acts as a base. 

1. The proton donor is HCl because it donates H+ to water which yields a hydronium ion, H₃O⁺.
2. The proton acceptor is water.

Lithium has two stable isotopes with masses of 6.01512 amu and 7.01600 amu. The average molar mass of Li is 6.941 amu. What is t
Dvinal [7]

Answer :  The percent abundance of Li isotope-1 and Li isotope-2 is, 6.94 % and 93.1 % respectively.

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   .....(1)

Let the fractional abundance of Li isotope-1 be 'x' and the fractional abundance of Li isotope-2 will be '100-x'

For Li isotope-1 :

Mass of Li isotope-1 = 6.01512 amu

Fractional abundance of Li isotope-1 = x

For Li isotope-2 :

Mass of Li isotope-2 = 7.01600 amu

Fractional abundance of Li isotope-2 = 100-x

Average atomic mass of Li = 6.941 amu

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

6.941=[(6.01512\times x)+(7.01600\times (100-x))]

By solving the term 'x', we get:

x=694.048

Percent abundance of Li isotope-1 = \frac{694.048}{100}=6.94\%

Percent abundance of Li isotope-2 = 100 - x = 100-6.94 = 93.1 %

Magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2): g/mol
Eva8 [605]

To determine the molar mass, you need to get the atomic mass of the molecule. To do this, check the periodic table for the atomic mass or average atomic weight of each element.

Mg = 24.305 x 1 = 24.305 amu

O = 15.9994 x 2 =31.9988 amu

H = 1.0079 x 2 = 2.0158 amu

 

Then, add all the components to get the atomic mass of the molecule.

24.305 amu + 31.9988 amu + 2.0158 amu = 58.3196 amu


The atomic mass is just equivalent to its molar mass.

So, the molar mass of Magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) is 58.3196 g/mol.

1 What direction do<br> molecules move in?
notsponge [240]

Answer:

The majority of the molecules move from higher to lower concentration, although there will be some that move from low to high. The overall (or net) movement is thus from high to low concentration.

hope this helps!<3

If 50% of a radioactive element remains after 4000 years, what is the half-life?
ANTONII [103]

Hey there!

A half-life means after a certain amount of time, half of that substance will be gone/changed after that time.

If 50%, or half, of the element remains after 4000 years, that means the half life must be 4000 years.

Hope this helps!
