Copper occurs in nature in the form of two isotopes, Cu-63 and Cu-65. Its correctly recorded atomic mass (weighted average) is 6

3.5 amu. Without doing the math, explain why it is safe to say that Cu-63 is more abundant than Cu-65.

63.5 is closer to 63 than 65 so you know when they find the average mass there are more Cu-63 isotopes

Mendeleev used his periodic table of elements to

<span>Mendeleev realized that the physical and chemical properties of elements were related to their atomic mass in a 'periodic' way, and arranged them so that groups of elements with similar properties fell into vertical columns in his table.
</span>Mendeleev rewrote each edition of Principles of Chemistry<span>, including all new scientific data-particularly confirmations of the periodic law-and reanalyzing difficulties that had arisen to hinder its confirmation (inert gases, radioactivity, radioactive and </span>rare-earth elements<span>)
</span>he wanted to prove that he was right.

Carbon dioxide gas occupies a volume of 20.0 L at 308K and 2.30 atm. What volume would it occupy at 416 K and 5.40 atm?

Brrunno [24]

Answer : The final volume of gas is, 11.5 L

Explanation :

Combined gas law is the combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay-Lussac's law.

The combined gas equation is,

$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$

where,

$P_1$ = initial pressure of gas = 2.30 atm

$P_2$ = final pressure of gas = 5.40 atm

$V_1$ = initial volume of gas = 20.0 L

$V_2$ = final volume of gas = ?

$T_1$ = initial temperature of gas = 308 K

$T_2$ = final temperature of gas = 416 K

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

$\frac{2.30atm\times 20.0L}{308K}=\frac{5.40atm\times V_2}{416K}$

$V_2=11.5L$

Therefore, the final volume of gas is, 11.5 L
