The two naturally occurring isotopes of antimony, 121Sb (57.21 percent) and 123Sb (42.79 percent), have masses of 120.904 and 12

2.904 amu, respectively. What is the average atomic mass of Sb? (a) 121.90 amu (b) 122.05 amu (c) 121.76 amu (d) 121.34 amu (e) 122.18 amu

Answer:

The correct answer is option c.

Explanation:

Formula used to determine an average atomic mass :

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

Mass of isotope Sb-121 = 120.904 amu

Fractional abundance of Sb-121 = 57.21% = 0.5721

Mass of isotope Sb-123 = 122.904 amu

Fractional abundance of Sb-123 = 42.79% = 0.4279

Average atomic mass of Sb:

120.904 amu\times 0.5721+ 122.904 amu\times 0.4279=121.7598 amu \approx 121.76 amu

A solution is made by dissolving 9.74 g of sodium sulfate in water to a final volume of 165 mL of solution. What is the weight/w
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer: The weight/weight % or percent by mass of the solute is 5.41 %.

Explanation:

Mass of the sodium sulfate,w = 9.74 g

Volume of the water = 165 mL

Density of the water = 1 g/mL

Density=1 g/mL=\frac{\text{Mass of water}}{\text{Volume of water}}

Mass of the water =1 g/mL\times 165 mL=165 g

Mass of the solution, W:

Mass of solute + Mass of solvent =9.47 g + 165 g=174.47 g

w/w\%=\frac{w\times 100}{W}=\frac{9.45 g\times 100}{174.47 g}=5.41 \%

The weight/weight % or percent by mass of the solute is 5.41 %.

A chef is serving a lunch special with 1 sandwich and 2 corn cobs per plate. If there are 5 sandwiches and 14 corn cobs, what is
shtirl [24]
5 plates is the highest amount that can be served

There’s only 5 sandwiches so 7 is automatically ruled out, there’s 14 corn cobs and 5 sandwiches only need 10 so it works out

Enough of a monoprotic acid is dissolved in water to produce a 1.64 M solution. The pH of the resulting solution is 2.82 . Calcu
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

Ka = 1.39x10⁻⁶

Explanation:

A monoprotic acid, HX, will be in equilibrium in an aqueous medium such as:

HX(aq) ⇄ H⁺(aq) + X⁻(aq)

<em>Where Ka is:</em>

Ka = [H⁺] [X⁻] / [HX]

<em>Where [] is the molar concentration in equilibrium of each specie. </em>

The equilibrium is reached when some HX reacts producing H+ and X-, that is:

[HX] = 1.64M - X

[H⁺] = X

[X⁻] = X

As pH is 2.82 = -log [H⁺]:

[H⁺] = 1.51x10⁻³M:

[HX] = 1.64M - 1.51x10⁻³M = 1.638M

[H⁺] = 1.51x10⁻³M

[X⁻] = 1.51x10⁻³M

And Ka is:

Ka = [1.51x10⁻³M] [1.51x10⁻³M] / [1.638M]

<h3>Ka = 1.39x10⁻⁶</h3>
