Answer:

69.7231 u to 4 decimal places.

Explanation:

Gallium is composed of two natural occuring isotopes that is Ga-69(60.108%) with mass of 68.9256 amu and Ga-71(39.892%) with mas of 70.9247 amu. The ratio of their masses are 1.0290. The relative abundance of Ga-69 is 60.11% and Ga-71 is 39.89%.

Calculate average atomic mass of Ga-69 :  

Ga-69 = 60.108% = 0.60108.

GA-71 = 39.892% = 0.39892.

Atomic mass of Ga = (68.9256⋅0.60108)+(70.9247⋅0.39892)

AM(Ga)=69.7231 u to 4 decimal places.

The mass of Ga-69 is \boxed{68.926{\text{ u}}}  

Further explanation:

Isotopes are the atoms of the same element with same atomic number but different atomic masses. The number of protons is the same in these but the number of neutrons is different.

Relative Atomic Mass:

The average mass of an atom of the element compared to 1/12th of the mass of carbon-12 atom is termed as the relative atomic mass. It is generally denoted by {{\text{A}}_{\text{r}}}. The formula to calculate the relative atomic mass of an element is as follows:

 {{\text{A}}_{\text{r}}} = \dfrac{{\sum {\left\{ {\left( {{\text{Relative isotopic mass}}} \right)\left( {{\text{\%  abundance}}} \right)} \right\}} }}{{100}}

Here, {{\text{A}}_{\text{r}}} is the relative atomic mass.

We are provided with the information that gallium (Ga) is composed of two isotopes, namely Ga-69 and Ga-71. The relative abundance of Ga-69 is 60.108 %.

The expression to calculate the relative abundance is as follows:

{\text{Relative abundance of Ga - 69}} + {\text{Relative abundance of Ga - 71}} = 100{\text{ \% }}            …… (1)

Rearrange equation (1) to calculate the relative abundance of Ga-71.

{\text{Relative abundance of Ga - 71}} = 100{\text{ \% }} - {\text{Relative abundance of Ga - 69}}            …… (2)

Substitute 60.108 % for the relative abundance of Ga-69 in equation (2).

\begin{aligned}{\text{Relative abundance of Ga - 71}}&= 100{\text{ \% }} - 60.108{\text{ \% }}\\&= {\text{39}}{\text{.892 \% }}\\\end{aligned}  

The formula to evaluate the relative atomic mass of Ga is as follows:

{{\text{A}}_{\text{r}}}{\text{ of Ga}} &= \dfrac{{\left[ \begin{aligned}\left( {{\text{Mass of Ga - 69}}} \right)\left( {{\text{\%  abundance of Ga - 69}}} \right) +  \hfill\\\left( {{\text{Mass of Ga - 71}}} \right)\left( {{\text{\%  abundance of Ga - 71}}} \right) \hfill \\\end{aligned} \right]}}{{100}}     …… (3)                        

The ratio of the masses of two isotopes is 1.0290. Consider the mass of Ga-69 to be x. So the mass of Ga-71 becomes 1.0290.

Substitute x for the mass of Ga-69, 1.0290x for the mass of Ga-71, 60.108 % for % abundance of Ga-69, 39.892 % for % abundance of Ga-71 and 69.723 u for the relative mass of Ga in equation (3).

{\text{69}}{\text{.723}} = \dfrac{{\left[ {\left( {\text{x}} \right)\left( {{\text{60}}{\text{.108 \% }}} \right) + \left( {{\text{1}}{\text{.0290x}}} \right)\left( {{\text{39}}{\text{.892 \% }}} \right)} \right]}}{{100}}  

Solve for x,

 x = 68.926

Therefore the mass of Ga-69 is 68.926 u.

A compound made of two elements, iridium (Ir) and oxygen (O), was produced in a lab by heating iridium while exposed to air. The
natima [27]
1) Compund Ir (x) O(y)

2) Mass of iridium = mass of crucible and iridium - mass of crucible = 39.52 g - 38.26 g = 1.26 g

3) Mass of iridium oxide = mass of crucible and iridium oxide - mass of crucible = 39.73g - 38.26g = 1.47g

4) Mass of oxygen = mass of iridum oxide - mass of iridium = 1.47g - 1.26g = 0.21g

5) Convert grams to moles

moles of iridium = mass of iridium / molar mass of iridium = 1.26 g / 192.17 g/mol = 0.00656 moles

moles of oxygen = mass of oxygen / molar mass of oxygen = 0.21 g / 15.999 g/mol = 0.0131

6) Find the proportion of moles

Divide by the least of the number of moles, i.e. 0.00656

Ir: 0.00656 / 0.00656 = 1

O: 0.0131 / 0.00656 = 2

=> Empirical formula = Ir O2 (where 2 is the superscript for O)

Answer: Ir O2

You find a compound composed only of element X and chlorine and you know that the compound is 13.10% X by mass. Each molecule of
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

Explanation:

So, the formula for the compound should be:

XCl_{6}

Now we assume that we have 1 mol of substance, so we can make calculations to know the molar mass of element X, as follows:

M_{Cl}=35.45g/mol\\

So we have that 6 moles weight 212.7g, and we can make a rule of three to know the weight of compound X:

212.7g\rightarrow 86.9\%\\x\rightarrow 13.1\%\\\\x=\frac{212.7g*13.1}{86.9} =32.06g

As we used 1 mol, we know that the molar mass is 32.06g/mol

So the element has a molar mass of 32.06 g/mol and an oxidation state of +6, with this information, we can assure that the element X is sulfur, so the compound is SCl_{6}
