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)

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.

k0ka [10]

Answer:

There is one single covalent bond between two carbon atoms.

Explanation:

We know that sharing of electrons form covalent bonds.

If we look upon K,L,M ,N shells of the carbon and hydrogen atoms.

We found that Hydrogen is having only  1 electron in K shell.

And Carbon on the other hand is having 2 electrons in K shell and 4 electrons in L shell.

So carbon have  4 valence electrons,and it can share 4 bonds with any relevant atom to complete its octet.

And Hydrogen requires  1 electron to complete its doublet.

Alkane general formula C_{n}H_{2n+2}

For ethane n=2

C_{2}H_{4+2} = C_{2}H_{6}

1 Carbon atom is shared by  3 Hydrogen.

The remaining one electron (4-3)=1 of carbon will be shared with another carbon atom.

An image of the sharing of electrons attached below,

Hence we have only  1 covalent bond between the two.

A cylinder with a moveable piston contains 0.552 mol of gas and has a volume of 259 mL . Part A What will its volume be if an ad
Naddik [55]

Answer:

The new volume will be 367mL

Explanation:

Using PV = nRT

V1 = 259mL = 0.000259L

n1 = 0.552moles

At constant temperature and pressure, the value is

P * 0.000259 = 0.552 * RT ------equation 1

= 0.552 / 0.000259

= 2131.274

V2 = ?

n2 = 0.552 + 0.232

n2 = 0.784mole

Using ideal gas equation,

PV = nRT

P * V2 = 0.784 * RT ---------- equation 2

Combining equations 1 and 2 we have;

V2 = 0.784 / 2131.274

V2 = 0.000367L

V2 = 367mL
