<u>Answer:</u> The fractional abundance of Ir-191 is 0.372

<u>Explanation:</u>

Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.

Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:

\text{Average atomic mass }=\sum_{i=1}^n\text{(Atomic mass of an isotopes)}_i\times \text{(Fractional abundance})_i   .....(1)

Let the fractional abundance of Ir-191 be x and that of Ir-193 isotope be (1-x)

<u>For isotope 1 (Ir-191):</u>

Mass of isotope 1 = 190.96058 amu

Fractional abundance of Ir-191 = x

<u>For isotope 1 (Ir-193):</u>

Mass of isotope 1 = 192.96292 amu

Fractional abundance of Ir-193 = (1 - x)

Average atomic mass of iridium = 192.217 amu

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

192.217=[(190.96058\times x)+(192.96292\times (1-x))]\\\\x=0.372

Hence, the fractional abundance of Ir-191 is 0.372

PLS HELP Students in a chemistry class added 5 g of Zinc (Zn) to 50 g of hydrochloric acid (HCl). A chemical reaction occurred t
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer: In simplest case mass of reactants is same as mass of products.

Without thinking this question deeper, mass of ZnCl2 would be 49, but..

Explanation: Reaction should be  Zn + 2 HCl ⇒ ZnCl2 + H2

Amount of zinc is  5 g / 65,38 g/mol = 0,076476 mol and amount

of Hydrogen Chloride is 50 g / 36.458 g/mol = 1,371 mol.

Althought HCl is needed 0.152 moles, zinc is an limiting reactant.

So it is possible to produce only 0.076476 mol Hydrogen and its mass

is 0.154 g.  Mass of ZnCl2 would be 0.076476 mol · (65.38 + 2·35.45) =

 10.42 g

A bond formed between a fluorine, F, atom and a fluorine, F, atom is likely to be____
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

c) non polar Covalent

Explanation:

this is a molecule formed by atoms of the same element . they both have similar electronegativities and thus cancel out . This makes it a perfect Covalent molecule . The fact that it's a symmetrical molecule makes it non polar. a symmetrical molecule is a molecule formed by the overlap of orbitals of two atoms of the same element ( that is to say , there's no dipole )
