Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Explanation:

Data

               Atomic mass               Abundance

Mg -24 =    23.9850                         79%

Mg -25 =    24.9858                         10%  

Mg - 26=          ?                                  ?

Process

1.- Find the abundance of Mg-26

The sum of the abundance of the three isotopes equals 100%

         

 Abundance Mg-24 + Abundance-Mg-25 + Abundance-26 = 100

            79 + 10 + Abundance-26 = 100

            Abundance Mg-26 = 100 -89

           Abundance Mg-26 = 11%

2.- Find the atomic mass of Mg-26, the average atomic mass is 24.31 amu

Average atomic mass = (abundance)(atomic mass- 24) + (abundance)

                                         (atomic mass-25) + (abundance)(atomic mass-26)

    24.31 = (0.79)(23.9850)+ (0.10)(24.9858) + (Atomic mass-26)(0.11)

    24.31 = 18.94815 + 2.4986 + 0.11(atomic mass-26)

    24.31 = 21.4342 + 0.11(atomic mass- 26)

    0.11(atomic mass-26) = 24.31 - 21.4342

    0.11(atomic mass-26) = 2.8758

    Atomic mass-26 = 2.8758/0.11

 <u>   Atomic mass-26 = 26.1436 amu</u>

Answer:

The atomic mass of Mg-26 is 25.9843 amu and has a natural abundance of 11%

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Isotopes of Magnesium:

⇒ Mg - 24 = 23.9850 amu ⇒ 79 %

⇒ Mg - 25 = 24.9858 amu ⇒ 10%

⇒ Mg - 26 = ? amu ⇒ 11 %

atomic mass of magnesium = 24.305 amu

0.79 * 23.9850 + 0.10 * 24.9858 + 0.11 * x = 24.305

18.94815 + 2.49858 +0.11x =24.305

0.11x = 2.85827

x = 25.9843 amu

The atomic mass of Mg-26 is 25.9843 amu and has a natural abundance of 11%

determine mass of water formed when 12.5 L NH3(at298K and 1.50atm) is reacted with 18.9L of O2 (at 323K and 1.1atm)
sasho [114]

The  mass  of water formed  is


<u><em>calculation</em></u>

Use  the  ideal   gas  equation   to  calculate the  moles of  NH3  and O2

that  is  Pv= n RT

where;  P= pressure,  

V=  volume,

n = number  of  moles,

R=gas   constant  = 0.0821  l .atm/ mol.K

make n the formula of  the subject  by diving   both side  by  RT

n =  PV /RT

The   moles of NH3

n= (1.50 atm  x 12.5 L) /(  0.0821 L. atm /mol.k   x 298 K)  =0.766  moles

The  moles  of  O2

=(1.1 atm  x 18.9  L) /  (  0.0821 L. atm/ mol.k   x 323 K) = 0.784  moles


write the reaction  between  NH3  and  O2

4 NH3  + 5 O2  →4 No  +6H2O


from  equation above  0.766  moles of NH3  reacted to produce  

0.766 x 6/4 =1.149 moles of H2O


0.784  moles of O2   reacted to  produce  0.784  x 6/5=0.9408  moles  of H20


since  O2  is totally  consumed, O2  is the limiting  reagent  and therefore  the  moles of H2O  produced=  0.9408  moles


mass  of  H2O  = moles x molar mass

 from  periodic table the  molar mass  of H2O  =  (1 x2)+16= 18  g/mol

mass = 18 g/mol  x 0.9408  moles= 16.93  grams
