Hydrogen and chlorine atoms react to form a simple diatomic molecule in a 1:1 ration, that is HCl. The percent isotopic abundanc

es of the chlorine isotopes 35Cl and 37Cl are 75.77% and 24.23%, respectively. The percent isotopic abundances of the hydrogen isotopes are 2H and 3H are 0.015% and 0.001%. (a) How many different HCl molecules are possible, and what are their mass numbers

Answer:

Four different HCl molecules are possible.

  1. Mass of ^{2}H^{35}Cl  = 37 amu
  2. Mass of ^{3}H^{35}Cl =  38 amu
  3. Mass of ^{2}H^{37}Cl = 39 amu
  4. Mass of ^{3}H^{37}Cl = 40 amu

Explanation:

Mass of 2-H isotope = 2 amu

Mass of 3-H isotope = 3 amu

Mass of 35-Cl isotope = 35 amu

Mass of 37-Cl isotope = 37 amu

Different HCl molecules possible are:

1) ^2H+^{35}Cl\rightarrow ^{2}H^{35}Cl

Mass of ^{2}H^{35}Cl = 2 amu + 35 amu = 37 amu

2)  ^3H+^{35}Cl\rightarrow ^{3}H^{35}Cl

Mass of ^{3}H^{35}Cl = 3 amu + 35 amu = 38 amu

3) ^2H+^{37}Cl\rightarrow ^{2}H^{37}Cl

Mass of ^{2}H^{37}Cl = 2 amu + 37 amu = 39 amu

4) ^3H+^{37}Cl\rightarrow ^{3}H^{37}Cl

Mass of ^{3}H^{37}Cl = 3 amu + 37 amu = 40 amu

Which statements about the operation of an automated micropipettor are true? The volume dial has already been set, do not alter
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

The correct statement is that the point of initial resistance is the level of depression that will fill the pipette with the desired volume of solution.

Explanation:

The pipette can be otherwise stored vertically or horizontally, this has nothing to do with the operation, and before the operation, the dial needs to be set. Also, the plastic pipette tip should not be ejected at all, thus, no new disposable plastic tip is required for each sample.

The correct statement is that the point of initial resistance is the level of depression that will fill the pipette with the desired volume of solution.

Three common gaseous compounds of nitrogen and oxygen of different elementary composition are known: (A) laughing gas containing
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

Please find how these data prove the law of multiple proportions below

Explanation:

The law of multiple proportions was proposed by an English chemist called John Dalton. The law states that when two elements combine and to form more than one compound. The weights/masses of the second element in the two compounds, which combines with a fixed ratio of the first element, is in a simple whole number ratio.

In this question, Nitrogen is said to combine with oxygen to give three different compounds as follows:

A) laughing gas containing 63.65% nitrogen i.e. 0.6365g

This means that the mass of oxygen will be (1-0.6365) = 0.3635g

B) colorless gas containing 46.68% nitrogen i.e. 0.4668g

This means that the mass of oxygen will be 0.5332g

C) brown toxic gas containing 30.45% nitrogen i.e. 0.3045g

This means that the mass of oxygen will be 0.6955g

The ratios of oxygen in the three compounds is therefore:

0.3635: 0.5332: 0.6955

Divide this ratio by the smallest number (0.3635)

0.3635/0.3635 = 1

0.5332/0.3635 = 1.467

0.6955/0.3635 = 1.913

Multiply this ratio by 2, we have:

2: 2.9 : 3.8

Hence, the simple whole number ratio is 2:3:4.

This proves the law of multiple proportions that oxygen is in simple whole number ratio in the three different compounds.

Calculate the frequency of radiation with a wavelength of 1.08 x 10^-6 m. simple explanation please​
pishuonlain [190]
C = vf
c stands for the speed of waves (which is a constant that is 3 x 10^8)
v stands for the wavelength (which is given)
f stands for frequency (what we are solving for)
3 x 10^8 = (1.08 x 10^-6)f
Divide both sides by the given wavelength
f = 2.78 * 10^14 seconds

Draw a correct Lewis structure for XeI2 (Xe in middle, surrounded by I's ) that puts a 0 formal charge on all atoms. How many lo
Alona [7]

1) The Lewis structure will be:

Xe

|

I--I

In this structure, the xenon atom is surrounded by two iodine atoms, which are bonded to it through single bonds. Each iodine atom has one lone pair of electrons, for a total of 2 lone pairs on the central atom (xenon).

2) The molar mass of the gaseous compound is 0.416 g/mol.

To draw a correct Lewis structure for XeI2, we need to first count the number of valence electrons in the molecule. Xenon is a noble gas and has 8 valence electrons, while iodine has 7 valence electrons for a total of 23 valence electrons. To satisfy the octet rule and put a 0 formal charge on all atoms, we can use the following Lewis structure:

Xe

|

I--I

To find the molar mass of the gaseous compound, we can use the ideal gas law:

M = dRT/P

Where M is the molar mass, d is the density, R is the ideal gas constant, T is the temperature, and P is the pressure.

Given that the density of the gas is 0.3876 grams/142 mL = 0.002736 grams/mL, the temperature is 150 + 273 = 423 K, the pressure is 775 torr = 775/760 atm = 1.0132 atm, and the ideal gas constant is 0.08206 L·atm/mol·K.

We can calculate the molar mass as follows:

M = (0.002736 g/mL) * (0.08206 L·atm/mol·K / (1.0132 atm)) * (423 K)

M = 0.416 g/mol
