A hypothetical element has three main isotopes with mass numbers of 51, 53, and 54. If 15.00% of the isotopes have a mass number

of 51 amu and 30.00% of the isotopes have a mass of 53 amu, what atomic weight should be listed on the periodic table for this element?

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

34 g/100 mL

Explanation:

The solubility of a compound can be expressed in g/100mL, for this we must divide the mass of the compound that dissolves in the solute by the volume of the solvent.

The solvent, in this case, is water, and that mass of the solute X that dissolved is the mass that was recovered after the solvent was drained and evaporated. So the solubility of X (S) is:

S = 0.17 kg/5L

S = 170g/5000mL

S = 170g/(5*1000)mL

S = 34 g/100 mL

The principal component of mothballs is naphthalene, a compound with a molecular mass of about 130 amu, containing only carbon a
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Empirical formula = C5H4

Molecular formula = C10H8

Explanation:

When the 3000 mg of naphthalene are burned they produce 10.3 mg of CO2. Knowing the unbalanced equation of the combustion of naphthalene, we have:

CxHy + O2 = CO2 + H2O

We calculate the molar composition of the sample. We look for the molecular weights in the periodic table:

CO2 = 12,011 + 2 (15,999) = 44,009 g

Mol C = 10.3 mg * (1 mol CO2 / 44.009 g CO2) * (1 mol C / 1 mol CO2) = 0.234 mmol C

Mass C = 0.234 mmol C * (12.011 g C / 1 mol C) = 2.8105 mg C

Mass H = 3 mg - 2.8105 mg = 0.1895 mg H

Mol H = 0.1895 mg H * (1 mol H / 1,008 g H) = 0.188 mmol H

To calculate the empirical formula, we must divide the number of moles of each element by the smallest number of moles, in this case, of hydrogen:

C = 0.2340 mmol C / 0.1895 mol H = 1.25

H = 0.1895 mmol H / 0.1895 mmol H = 1

We multiply the coefficients by 4, and we have the empirical formula:

C1.25 * 4H1 * 4 = C5H4

The molecular formula is equal to (C5H4)m, where m is calculated by the molecular and empirical mass ratio, as follows:

Empirical mass = (5 * 12.011) + (4 * 1.008) = 64.09 g

m = 130 g / 64.09 g = 2.02 = 2

Therefore we have the molecular formula:

(C5H4)2 = C10H8

A cough syrup contains 5.0% ethyl alcohol, c2h5oh, by mass. if the density of the solution is 0.9928 g/ml, determine the molarit
WARRIOR [948]
To answer the question above, let us a basis of the 1000 mL or 1 L. 
                 volume = (0.9928 g/mL)(1000mL) = 992.8 g
Then, determine the mass of the alcohol by multiplying the total mass by the decimal equivalent of 5%. 
               mass of alcohol = 0.05(992.8 g) = 49.64 g
Then, determine the number of moles of ethyl alcohol by dividing the mass of alcohol by the molar mass (46 g/mol). 
                       n = 49.64 g/ (46 g/mol) = 1.08 mol
Then, divide the number of moles by the volume (our basis is 1 L)
                       molarity = 1.08 mol/ 1 L = 1.08 M

Answer:

Na k

Explanation:

because na is a metal and potassium is also a metal and both are active metal so is less likely to react as no bond is formed between them
