Answer:

63. 55 amu

Explanation:

Copper is known to exist in two different isotopes which are Cu-63 and Cu-65.

Cu-63 has an atomic mass of 62.93 amu and it has an abundance of 69.15%.

Similarly,

Cu-65 has an atomic mass of 64.93 amu and it has an abundance of 30.85%

Therefore, using the weighted average mass method, the atomic mass of copper is:

Atomic mass of copper = (0.6915*62.93) amu + (0.3085*64.93) amu = 43.52 amu + 20.03 amu = 63.55 amu

Thus, the atomic mass of copper (express in two decimal places) is 63.55 amu

1. A gas having the following composition is burnt under a boiler with 50% excess air.

The composition of the stack gas are :

CH_4= 0.8713

C_3H_8 = 0.0202

CO = 0.107

<h3 /><h3>What is a mole fraction?</h3>

The ratio of the number of moles of one component of a solution or other mixture to the total number of moles representing all of the components.

Assuming 100 g of the stack gas. Calculate the mass of each species in this sample according to their percentages.

Mass of CH_4 : 70% of 100 g = 70 g

Mass of C_3H_8 : 15% of 100 g = 15 g

Mass of CO : 15% of 100 g = 15 g

Now calculate the number of moles of each species:

Number of moles of CH_4 : \frac{70 g}{16.04 g/mol} = 4.3 mole

Number of moles of C_3H_8: \frac{15 g}{144.1 g/mol} = 0.10 mole

Mass of CO : \frac{15 g}{28.01 g/mol} = 0.53 mole

Now to calculate the mole fraction of each we use the formula:

Mole fraction of CH_4: \frac{4.3}{4.935} = 0.8713

Mole fraction of C_3H_8 : \frac{0.10}{4.935} = 0.0202

Mole fraction of CO : \frac{0.53}{4.935} = 0.107

Hence, composition of the stack gas are:

CH_4 = 0.8713

C_3H_8 = 0.0202

CO = 0.107
