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.

57.0 is it rounded to three sig figs. You count three spaces then round from there, which would be the zero and you would round down because the four is there.

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

The half life is     H_{1/2}= 7333.3sec

Explanation:

   The half life of a first order  reaction is mathematically represented as

                          H_{1/2} = \frac{0.693}{Rate Constant }

 Substituting   9.45 * 10^{-5}s^{-1}  for the rate constant

                         H_{1/2} = \frac{0.693}{9.45*10^{-5}}

                                 H_{1/2}= 7333.3sec

Urea, (NH2)2CO, is a product of metabolism of proteins. An aqueous solution is 37.2% urea by mass and has a density of 1.032 g/m
Feliz [49]

Answer:

The molarity of urea in this solution is 6.39 M.

Explanation:

Molarity (M) is <em>the number of moles of solute in 1 L of solution</em>;  that is

molarity = moles of solute ÷ liters of solution

To calculate the molality, we need to know the number of moles of urea and the volume of solution in liters. We assume 100 grams of solution.

Our first step is to calculate the moles of urea in 100 grams of the solution,

using the molar mass a conversion factor. The total moles of 100g of a 37.2 percent by mass solution is

60.06 g/mol ÷ 37.2 g = 0.619 mol

Now we need to calculate the volume of 100 grams of solution, and we use density as a conversion factor.

1.032 g/mL ÷ 100 g = 96.9 mL

This solution contains 0.619 moles of urea in 96.9 mL of solution. To express it in molarity, we need to calculate the moles present in 1000 mL (1 L) of the solution.

0.619 mol/96.9 mL × 1000 mL= 6.39 M

Therefore, the molarity of the solution is 6.39 M.

siniylev [52]

Answer:

∆H > 0

∆Srxn <0

∆G >0

∆Suniverse <0

Explanation:

We are informed that the reaction is endothermic. An endothermic reaction is one in which energy is absorbed hence ∆H is positive at all temperatures.

Similarly, absorption of energy leads to a decrease in entropy of the reaction system. Hence the change in entropy of the reaction ∆Sreaction is negative at all temperatures.

The change in free energy for the reaction is positive at all temperatures since ∆S reaction is negative then from ∆G= ∆H - T∆S, we see that given the positive value of ∆H, ∆G must always return a positive value at all temperatures.

Since entropy of the surrounding= - ∆H/T, given that ∆H is positive, ∆S surrounding will be negative at all temperatures. This is so because an endothermic reaction causes the surrounding to cool down.
