Element Y has two naturally occurring isotopes. The most dominant isotope has a mass of 114.3789 amu and a percent abundance of

64.23%. What is
the mass of the second isoptope if the average atomic mass is 128.4359 amu? Remember that the two percentages will have to sum to 100%.

Answer:

153.6771 amu

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were:

Isotope A:

Mass of A = 114.3789 amu

Abundance (A%) = 64.23%

Isotope B:

Mass of B =.?

Abundance (B%) = 100 – A%

Abundance (B%) = 100 – 64.23

Abundance (B%) = 35.77%

average atomic mass of Element Y = 128.4359 amu

The mass of the 2nd isotope (i.e isotope B) can be obtained as follow:

Average atomic mass = [(Mass of A × A%)/100] + [(Mass of B × B%)/100]

128.4359 = [(114.3789 × 64.23)/100] + [(Mass of B × 35.77) /100]

128.4359 = 73.4656 + (Mass of B × 0.3577)

Collect like terms

128.4359 – 73.4656 = Mass of B × 0.3577

54.9703 = Mass of B × 0.3577

Divide both side by 0.3577

Mass of B = 54.9703 / 0.3577

Mass of B = 153.6771 amu

Therefore, the mass of the 2nd isotope is 153.6771 amu

The solubility of KNO3(s) in water increases as the..
makvit [3.9K]
The answer would be b. Temperature of the solution increases 

Temperature determines the kinetic energy of the water molecule. Higher temperature will cause the molecule to moves faster and the compound (KNO3) could break solute molecule easier make it become more soluble. A higher pressure will increase the solubility of a gas, not solid

The normal freezing point of water (H2O) is 0.00 oC and its Kf value is 1.86 oC/m. A nonvolatile, nonelectrolyte that dissolves
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

3.74g of ethylene glycol must be added to decrease the freezing point by 0.400°C

Explanation:

One colligative property is the freezing point depression due the addition of a solute. The equation is:

ΔT=Kf*m*i

<em>Where ΔT is change in temperature = 0.400°C</em>

<em>Kf is freezing point constant of the solvent = 1.86°C/m</em>

<em>m is molality of the solution (Moles of solute / kg of solvent)</em>

<em>And i is Van't Hoff constant (1 for a nonelectrolyte)</em>

Replacing:

0.400°C =1.86°C/m*m*1

0.400°C / 1.86°C/m*1 = 0.215m

As mass of solvent is 280.0g = 0.2800kg, the moles of the solute are:

0.2800kg * (0.215moles / 1kg) = 0.0602 moles of solute must be added.

The mass of ethylene glycol must be added is:

0.0602 moles * (62.10g / mol) =

3.74g of ethylene glycol must be added to decrease the freezing point by 0.400°C

The mole fraction of nitrogen in the air is 0.7808. this means that 78.08% of the molecules in the air are nitrogen. when the at
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

p = \boxed{\text{593 torr}}

Explanation:

For this question, we must use Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures:

The partial pressure of a gas in a mixture of gases equals its mole fraction times the total pressure:

p = \chi p_{\text{tot}}

Data:

χ = 0.7808

p_{\text{tot}} = \text{ 760 torr}

Calculation:

p = 0.7808 \times \text{ 760 torr}\\\\p= \boxed{\textbf{593 torr}}

If you increase the force on an object, its acceleration increases. True or false
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

true

Explanation:

from Newton's second law of motion ,we can understand that acceleration of a body is directly proportional to the force applied on it and inversely proportional to its mass ,so as the force applied increase,the acceleration also increases
