Answer: 24.309

Explanation:

Isotope A:

Mass number = 23.99 amu

Abundance = 78.99%

Isotope B:

Mass number = 24.99 amu

Abundance = 10.00%

Isotope C:

Mass number = 25.98 amu

Abundance = 11.01%

To find the atomic Mass of magnesium, we must add the product of the mass number and abundance of each of the isotopes. In doing so, we have:

Let M1 and A be the mass number and the abundance for isotope A.

Let M2 and B be the mass number and the abundance of isotope B

Let M3 and C be the mass and abundance of isotopeC

Atomic mass = (M1 x A) + (M2 x B) + (M3 x C)

= (23.99x78.99%) + (24.99x10%) + ( 25.98x11.01%)

= 18.950 + 2.499 + 2.860

= 24.309

The atomic mass of magnesium is 24.309

The half-life of tritium, or hydrogen-3, is 12.32 years. After about 24.6 years, how much of a sample of tritium will remain unc
scoundrel [369]

Answer: The correct option is B.

Explanation: This is an example of radioactive decay and all the radioactive decay processes follow First order of kinetics.

Expression for the half life of first order kinetics is:

t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}

We are given:

t_{1/2}=12.32years

Putting in above equation, we get:

12.32=\frac{0.693}{k}\\k=0.05625year^{-1}

Expression to calculate the amount of sample which is unchanged is:

N=N_oe^{-kt}

where,

N = Amount left after time t

N_o = Initial amount

k = Rate constant

t = time period

Putting value of k = 0.05625 and t = 24.6 in above equation, we get:

N=N_oe^{-0.05625\times 24.6}

\frac{N}{N_o}=0.25

The above fraction is the amount of sample unchanged and that is equal to \frac{1}{4}

Hence, the correct option is B.

A 20.0-mL sample of lake water was acidified with nitric acid and treated with excess KSCN to form a red complex (KSCN itself is
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

8.09x10⁻⁵M of Fe³⁺

Explanation:

Using Lambert-Beer law, the absorbance of a sample is proportional to its concentration.

In the problem, the Fe³⁺ is reacting with KSCN to produce Fe(SCN)₃ -The red complex-

The concentration of Fe³⁺ in the reference sample is:

4.80x10⁻⁴M Fe³⁺ × (5.0mL / 50.0mL) = 4.80x10⁻⁵M Fe³⁺

<em>Because reference sample was diluted from 5.0mL to 50.0mL.</em>

<em>That means a solution of  4.80x10⁻⁵M Fe³⁺ gives an absorbance of 0.512</em>

Now, as the sample of the lake gives an absorbance of 0.345, its concentration is:

0.345 × (4.80x10⁻⁵M Fe³⁺ / 0.512) = <em>3.23x10⁻⁵M.  </em>

As the solution was diluted from 20.0mL to 50.0mL, the concentration of Fe³⁺ in Jordan lake is:

3.23x10⁻⁵M Fe³⁺ × (50.0mL / 20.0mL) = <em>8.09x10⁻⁵M of Fe³⁺</em>
