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

Which statement about carbon dioxide (CO2) is correct?
Zanzabum

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The carbon-oxygen double bond is polar.

However, carbon dioxide is a linear molecule. The two dipoles cancel out each other.

Thus, carbon dioxide is a non polar molecule with polar bond.

A sample of methane gas has a volume of 10 l at a pressure of 1.5 atm and a temperature of 20 °c. what volume does the gas occup
a_sh-v [17]
We can use combined gas laws to solve for the volume of the gas
 \frac{PV}{T}
where P - pressure, V - volume , T - temperature and k - constant
\frac{P1V1}{T1} = \frac{P2V2}{T2}
parameters for the first instance are on the left side and parameters for the second instance are on the right side of the equation 
T1 - temperature in Kelvin - 20 °C + 273 = 293 K
T2 - 40 °C + 273 = 313 K
substituting the values 
\frac{1.5 atm*10L}{293 K} =  \frac{0.9 atm*V}{313K}
V = 17.8 L
volume of the gas is 17.8 L
