<u>Answer:</u> The average atomic mass of copper is 63.546 amu

<u>Explanation:</u>

Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.

Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:

\text{Average atomic mass }=\sum_{i=1}^n\text{(Atomic mass of an isotopes)}_i\times \text{(Fractional abundance})_i  .....(1)

  • <u>For isotope 1 (Cu-63):</u>

Mass of isotope 1 = 62.93 amu

Percentage abundance of isotope 1 = 69.2 %

Fractional abundance of isotope 1 = 0.692

  • <u>For isotope 2 (Cu-65):</u>

Mass of isotope 2 = 64.93 amu

Percentage abundance of isotope 2 = 30.8 %

Fractional abundance of isotope 2 = 0.308

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Average atomic mass of Copper}=[(62.93\times 0.692)+(64.93\times 0.308)]\\\\\text{Average atomic mass of Copper}=63.546amu

Hence, the average atomic mass of copper is 63.546 amu

How do you identify molecular polarity
madreJ [45]
Draw a reasonable Lewis structure for the substance.

Step 2: Identify each bond as either polar or nonpolar. (If the difference in electronegativity for the atoms in a bond is greater than 0.4, we consider the bond polar. If the difference in electronegativity is less than 0.4, the bond is essentially nonpolar.)

If there are no polar bonds, the molecule is nonpolar.

If the molecule has polar bonds, move on to Step 3.

Step 3: If there is only one central atom, examine the electron groups around it.

If there are no lone pairs on the central atom, and if all the bonds to the central atom are the same, the molecule is nonpolar. (This shortcut is described more fully in the Example that follows.)

If the central atom has at least one polar bond and if the groups bonded to the central atom are not all identical, the molecule is probably polar. Move on to Step 4.

Step 4: Draw a geometric sketch of the molecule.

Step 5: Determine the symmetry of the molecule using the following steps.

Describe the polar bonds with arrows pointing toward the more electronegative element. Use the length of the arrow to show the relative polarities of the different bonds. (A greater difference in electronegativity suggests a more polar bond, which is described with a longer arrow.)

Decide whether the arrangement of arrows is symmetrical or asymmetrical

If the arrangement is symmetrical and the arrows are of equal length, the molecule is nonpolar.

If the arrows are of different lengths, and if they do not balance each other, the molecule is polar.

If the arrangement is asymmetrical, the molecule is polar.

Aluminum is widely distributed throughout the world in the form of aluminosilicates. The property of these minerals prevents them from being a source of aluminum

Aluminum, silicon, and oxygen are the main elements found in aluminosilicate minerals, which have the IMA symbol Als. They make up a sizable portion of the minerals in kaolin and other clays.

Because some aluminosilicates' chemical compositions contain water, they have a clay-like consistency and can be utilized as thickeners, lubricants, and clay substitutes. Other, more crystalline aluminosilicates can be used to make glass, gemstones, industrial abrasives, and abrasives.

A hydrated aluminosilicate mineral called zeolite has a structure that is defined by connected tetrahedra, each of which has four oxygen atoms surrounding a silicon or aluminum cation.

1. What mass of Mgo will I make from 48 g of Mg?<br> 2Mg + O2 + 2MgO
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

80.6 g

Explanation:

MgO=24.3+16=40.3 g

48.6/24.3= 2 moles

64/2x16= 2 moles

2x40.3= 80.6g

The ΔH vap of a certain compound is 46.55 kJ⋅ mol−1 and its ΔS vap is 67.37 J⋅mol−1⋅K−1.
arsen [322]

690 Kelvin is the boiling point of this compound.

Explanation:

Enthalpy is the sum of internal energy and the product of pressure and volume that is how much energy is in the substance.

Entropy is the measurement of randomness and measure of thermal energy per unit of temperature.

ΔH vap of compound is 46.55 kJ⋅ mol− or  J.MOL-1

ΔS vap  is 67.37 J⋅mol−1⋅K−1.

The boiling point or temperature can be calculated by the formula:

T= \frac{ΔH vap}{ΔS vap}

T =\frac{46550}{67.37}      

  = 690 Kelvin

The boiling point is the temperature when atmospheric temperature gets equal to
