Answer:

The isotopic mass of 41K is 40.9574 amu

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

The isotopes are:  

39K with an isotopic mass of 38.963707u and natural abundance of 93.2581%

40K with an isotopic mass of 39.963999u

41K wit natural abundance of 6.7302 %

Average atomic mass =39.098 amu  

Step 2: Calculate natural abundance of 40 K

100 % - 93.2581 % - 6.7302 %

100 % = 0.0117 %

Step 3: Calculate isotopic mass of 41K

39.098 = 38.963707 * 0.932581 + 39.963999 * 0.000117 + X * 0.067302

39.098 = 36.33681 + 0.0046758 +  X * 2.067302

X = 40.9574 amu

The isotopic mass of 41K is 40.9574 amu

Quinine, an antimalarial drug, is 8.63% nitrogen. There are two nitrogen atoms per molecule. What is the molecular weight of qui
Furkat [3]

Answer:

324.18 g/mol

Explanation:

Let the molecular mass of the antimalarial drug, Quinine is x g/mol

According to question,

Nitrogen present in the drug is 8.63% of x

So, mass of nitrogen = \frac {8.63}{100}\times x

Also, according to the question,

2 atoms are present in 1 molecule of the drug.

Mass of nitrogen = 14.01 amu = 14.01 g/mol (grams for 1 mole)

So, mass of nitrogen = 14.01×2 = 28.02

These 2 must be equal so,

\frac {8.63}{100}\times x=28.02

solving for x, we get:

<u>x = 324.18 g/mol</u>

How does elements and compounds reacting together is essential in everyday matters?
MrMuchimi

Chemical reactions are at the essence of just about every biological and physical process in the whole universe. Stars form due to chemical reactions, our sun flamed up also because of chemical reactions in its core. Life basically evolved on Earth as an outcome of chemical reactions. The "circle of life" is, at its quintessence, a sequence of chemical reactions. Also our capacity to move and think  is an outcome of chemical reactions that happen inside our bodies. Chemical reactions are the reason why new forms of matter are created. Chemical reactions make us comprehend the properties of matter. Chemical reactions make food into fuel for our bodies, they make fireworks blow up, they change food when it is cooked, they make soap remove dirt, and a lot more. Chemical reactions contribute to solving crimes and unravel mysteries. We can even find out which planets and moons are most likely to be able to preserve life. The most significant and momentous discovery made by humans, fire, is just a chemical reaction. Nothing would ever change without chemical reactions

¿Qué elemento tiene el mismo número de órbitas que el Hidrógeno? ¿Por qué? ¿Tienen propiedades similares, por qué?
Aliun [14]

What element has the same number of orbits as Hydrogen? Why? Do they have similar properties, why?

Answer:

Helium

Explanation:

Helium has the same number of orbitals as hydrogen because they belong to the same period on the periodic table.

Periods are the horizontal arrangement of elements. Elements in the same period are known to have the same number of electronic shell or orbitals.

In period 1 where we have just Hydrogen and Helium, the number of orbitals is 1.

 

For properties of a specie, elements in the same group which are the vertical arrangement of elements have the same properties. Since both Hydrogen and helium are in different groups, their properties differ.
