Argon-40 because it is the isotope with the closest mass to the atomic mass of the element. Making it more stable than the others allowing it to be the most abundant in nature.

Answer:

argon-40

Explanation:

The relative atomic mass of Argon is 39.948. This is very close to the mass of argon-40. Usually, the relative atomic mass of an element is the sum of the percentage abundance of each isotope in nature multiplied by its mass. The result of this sum is normally biased towards the isotope with the highest abundance. In the case of argon, argon-40 must have the highest abundance, hence the value of the relative atomic mass.

How many grams of iron(II) chloride are needed to produce 44.3 g iron(II) phosphate in the presence of excess sodium phosphate?
zalisa [80]

Answer:

47.2 g

Explanation:

Let's consider the following double displacement reaction.

3 FeCl₂ + 2 Na₃PO₄ → Fe₃(PO₄)₂ + 6 NaCl

The molar mass of Fe₃(PO₄)₂ is 357.48 g/mol. The moles corresponding to 44.3 g are:

44.3 g × (1 mol / 357.48 g) = 0.124 mol

The molar ratio of Fe₃(PO₄)₂ to FeCl₂ is 1:3. The moles of FeCl₂ are:

3 × 0.124 mol = 0.372 mol

The molar mass of FeCl₂ is 126.75 g/mol. The mass of FeCl₂ is:

0.372 mol × (126.75 g/mol) = 47.2 g

Calculate how many moles of NH3 form when each quantity of reactant completely reacts according to the equation:
Leya [2.2K]
<span>1) Use the balanced chemical equation to find the molar ratios (proportions) of each product and reactant.

3N2H4(l)→4NH3(g)+N2(g)

=> molar ratios: 3 mol N2H4 : 4 mol NH3

2) Use the product to reactant molar ratio, and the quantity of reactant to determine the yield:

2.0 mol N2H4 * [4mol NH3] / [3mol N2H4] = 2*4/3 mol NH3 = 2.7 mol NH3

Answer: 2.7 mol
