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

The pressure at the center of the earth is probably greater than 3x106 atm, and the temperature there is about 4000 °C. What is
andrezito [222]

Answer:

The change in the Gibbs function of reaction on going from crust to core, dG=291442.4 J/mol

Explanation:

dG=vdp-sdT

Where T is the temperature .

P is the pressure.

S is entropy

V= 1cm3 =10-6 m3

P= 3*10∧6 atm = 3*10∧11 pa

The temperature at the center of the earth, Tc = 4*103 °C. : The temperature at the sufrace (crust) of the earth, Ts =298K.

Subistuting the values

dG = (10-6 *(3*1011-105) - (2.1(4373-298))

dG=291442.4 J/mol.

What is the name of the giant supercontinent
stealth61 [152]
<span>The oldest of those supercontinents is called Rodinia and was formed during Precambrian time some one billion years ago. Another Pangea-like supercontinent, Pannotia, was assembled 600 million years ago, at the end of the Precambrian. Present-day plate motions are bringing the continents together once again.</span>

The individual particles in an ionic solid are held together as a result of:
dlinn [17]

electrostatic force

Explanation:

In ionic bonds one atom is positively charged (the atom that gives its electrons), and the other atom is negatively charged (the atom that receives the electrons); therefore, it is the opposite charge of the ions that attracts them to one another and holds them together with electrostatic force.

True or false. An excited state is less stable than a ground state
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer: True!

Explanation: As electrons that are excited move between energy levels, they emit lots and lots of energy, in fact way more energy than ground state electrons (electrons that move within the same energy level) do, thus, making them more unstable.
