The role of a spark plug is to supply some of the energy of activation for the combustion reaction.

Explanation:

A Spark plug is a tiny bolt of lightning in which a spark of electricity is emitted across a gap creating the ignition of the combustion chamber thereby starting the engine. By putting an engine piston in motion we can power up which produces a smooth burn of the compressed air-fuel mixture.

An electrical device that fits into the cylinder head and ignites compressed aerosol gasoline by an electric spark. They have an insulated electrode connected to a coil that ignites thereby producing sparks.
The spark plug works as a heat exchanger. They tend to pull unwanted thermal energy from the combustion chamber and heat is transferred to the engine's cooling system. Thus they supply some of the energy for the activation of engines.

Calculate the atomic mass of gallium, symbol Ga. Gallium has two isotopes: Ga-69 and Ga-71. The relative abundance of Ga-69 is 6

amm1812

Answer:

The atomic mass of gallium (Ga) = 69.723 g/mol

Explanation:

Given: Two isotopes of Gallium (Ga) are Gallium-69 (⁶⁹Ga) and Gallium-71 (⁷¹Ga)

For ⁶⁹Ga: 

Relative abundance = 60.12% = 60.12 ÷ 100 = 0.6012; Atomic mass = 68.9257 g/mol

For ⁷¹Ga:

Relative abundance = 39.88% = 39.88 ÷ 100 = 0.3988; Atomic mass = 70.9249 g/mol

∴ The atomic mass of Ga = (Relative abundance of ⁶⁹Ga × Atomic mass of ⁶⁹Ga) + (Relative abundance of ⁷¹Ga × Atomic mass of ⁷¹Ga)

⇒ Atomic mass of Ga = (0.6012 × 68.9257 g/mol) + (0.3988 × 70.9249 g/mol) = 69.723 g/mol

Therefore, the atomic mass of gallium (Ga) = 69.723 g/mol

A 17.6-g sample of ammonium carbonate contains ________ mol of ammonium ions.

postnew [5]

These problems are a bit interesting. :)

First let's write the molecular formula for ammonium carbonate.

NH4CO3 (Note! The 4 and 3 are subscripts, and not coefficients)

17.6 gNH4CO3

Now to convert to mol of one of our substances we take the percent composition of that particular part of the molecule and multiply it by our starting mass. This is what it looks like using dimensional analyse.

17.6 gNH4CO3 * (Molar Mass of NH4 / Molar Mass of NH4CO3)

Grab a periodic table (or look one up) and find the molar masses for these molecules! Well. In this case I'll do it for you. (Note: I round the molar masses off to two decimal places)

NH4 = 14.01 + 4*1.01 = 18.05 g/mol
NH4CO3 = 14.01 + 4*1.01 + 12.01 + 3*16.00 = 78.06 g/mol

17.6 gNH4CO3 * (18.05 molNH4 / 78.06 molNH4CO3)
= 4.07 gNH4

Now just take the molar mass we found to convert that amount into moles!

4.07 gNH4 * (1 molNH4 / 18.05 gNH4) = 0.225 molNH4
