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.

Nitrogen gas reacts with hydrogen gas to produce ammonia. How many liters of hydrogen gas at 95kPa and 15∘C are required to prod
viktelen [127]

Answer:

222.30 L

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole in 100 g of ammonia (NH₃). This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of NH₃ = 100 g

Molar mass of NH₃ = 14 + (3×1)

= 14 + 3

= 17 g/mol

Mole of NH₃ =?

Mole = mass /molar mass

Mole of NH₃ = 100 / 17

Mole of NH₃ = 5.88 moles

Next, we shall determine the number of mole of Hydrogen needed to produce 5.88 moles of NH₃. This can be obtained as follow:

N₂ + 3H₂ —> 2NH₃

From the balanced equation above,

3 moles of H₂ reacted to produce 2 moles NH₃.

Therefore, Xmol of H₂ is required to p 5.88 moles of NH₃ i.e

Xmol of H₂ = (3 × 5.88)/2

Xmol of H₂ = 8.82 moles

Finally, we shall determine the volume (in litre) of Hydrogen needed to produce 100 g (i.e 5.88 moles) of NH₃. This can be obtained as follow:

Pressure (P) = 95 KPa

Temperature (T) = 15 °C = 15 + 273 = 288 K

Number of mole of H₂ (n) = 8.82 moles

Gas constant (R) = 8.314 KPa.L/Kmol

Volume (V) =?

PV = nRT

95 × V = 8.82 × 8.314 × 288

95 × V = 21118.89024

Divide both side by 95

V = 21118.89024 / 95

V = 222.30 L

Thus the volume of Hydrogen needed for the reaction is 222.30 L
