A certain element exists as two different isotopes. 76.00% of its atoms have a mass of 35.00 amu and 24.00% of its atoms have a

mass of 37.00 amu. What is the average atomic mass of this element? (Do not round your answer)
_________ amu

Answer:

35.48 uma

Explanation:

An isotope is when an element has equal numbers of protons but different mass value because it has different amount of neutrons.

To calculate the average atomic mass with the given data:

First change de percentages to fractional numbers, divide by 100.

Remember the sum of a percentage is equal to 100, but when you are adding the fractions the sum is equal to 1.

76/100 = 0.76

24/100 = 0.24

  %       fraction

76.00 0.76

24.00 0.24

total100.00 1.00

Now, multiply the mass with their corresponding fraction:

35(0.76) = 26.60

37(0.24) =  8.88

%      fraction amu amu

76.00 0.76 35         26.60

24.00 0.24 37         8.88

total100.00 1.00    average 35.48

Now you add the calculated mass to obtain the average atomic mass of the element.

And the value you will get is 35.48 amu.

I included an excel table so you can review it, I like to organize all the given data and the calculation in tables, also I think is easier to understand.

Why do you turn a C-terminal aminoacid's carboxyl group into an ester before reducing it to an alcohol? Why not just use LiAlH4
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

Esters are both inorganic and organic acids .... Regarding the second question, it is believed that it is carried out in this way in order to recognize the C-terminal amino acid in a peptide within a protein

Explanation:

The explanation of this question is according to what was interpreted in the question, since it is considered that it is poorly written ...

What happens in this chemical reaction is that it first becomes an ester (organic or inorganic acid) so that it is later recognized in the complex peptide structure.

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

See detailed explanation.

Explanation:

Hello!

i. In this case, since the given chemical reaction is exothermic due to the negative change in the enthalpy of reaction, we infer that according to the mentioned principle, by lowering the temperature the reaction will shift rightwards and therefore the yield is increased; thus, you need a lower temperature than the specified.

ii. In this case, since the reaction has less moles at the products side, according to the mentioned principle it'd be necessary to rise the pressure in order to increase the yield, since the increase of pressure favors the reaction side with the fewest number of moles.

Best regards!
