Magnesium has three stable isotopes. The most commonly occurring isotope, 24 Mg, has an isotopic mass of 23.985 u and makes up 7

8.99 % of naturally occurring magnesium atoms. The isotope 25 Mg makes up 10.00 % of magnesium atoms and has an isotopic mass of 24.986u. The isotope 26 Mg makes up 11.01 % of magnesium atoms and has an isotopic mass of 25.983 u. Using the isotopic composition provided, calculate the average atomic mass of magnesium.

Answer:

Average atomic mass = 24.3051 amu

Explanation:

Average Atomic Mass = (Mass of Isotope 1 x Fractional Abundance of Isotope 1) + (Mass of Isotope 2 x Fractional Abundance of Isotope 2) + ......

For 24 Mg

Mass = 23.985 amu

Fractional Abundance = 0.7899

Mass * Fractional Abundance = 18.9458

For 25 Mg

Mass = 24.986 amu

Fractional Abundance = 0.10

Mass * Fractional Abundance = 2.4986

For  26 Mg

Mass = 25.983

Fractional Abundance = 0.1101

Mass * Fractional Abundance = 2.8607

Average atomic mass = 24 Mg + 25 Mg + 26 Mg

Average atomic mass = 18.9458 + 2.4986 + 2.8607

Average atomic mass = 24.3051 amu

What volume of a 0.550 M solution of potassium hydroxide (KOH) can be made with 19.9 g of potassium hydroxide?
Natalija [7]

Answer:

0.645 L

Explanation:

To find the volume, you need to (1) convert grams to moles (using the molar mass) and then (2) calculate the volume (using the molarity ratio). The final answer should have 3 sig figs to match the sig figs of the given values.

(Step 1)

Molar Mass (KOH): 39.098 g/mol + 15.998 g/mol + 1.008 g/mol

Molar Mass (KOH): 56.104 g/mol

19.9 grams KOH              1 mole
--------------------------  x  -----------------------  =  0.355 moles KOH
                                     56.014 grams

(Step 2)

Molarity = moles / volume                            <----- Molarity ratio

0.550 M = 0.355 moles / volume                 <----- Insert values

(0.550 M) x volume = 0.355 moles              <----- Multiply both sides by volume

volume = 0.645 L                                          <----- Divide both sides by 0.550

An atom of a particular element is traveling at 1.00% of the speed of light. The de Broglie wavelength is found to be 3.31 × 10-
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

The given atom is of Ca.

Explanation:

Given data:

Speed of atom = 1% of speed of light

De-broglie wavelength = 3.31×10⁻³ pm (3.31×10⁻³ / 10¹² = 3.31×10⁻¹⁵ m)

What is element = ?

Solution:

Formula:

m = h/λv

m = mass of particle

h  = planks constant

v = speed of particle

λ = wavelength

Now we will put the values in formula.

m = h/λv

m = 6.63×10⁻³⁴kg. m².s⁻¹/3.31×10⁻¹⁵ m ×( 1/100)×3×10⁸ m/s

m = 6.63×10⁻³⁴kg. m².s⁻¹/ 0.099×10⁻⁷m²/s

m = 66.97×10⁻²⁷ Kg/atom

or

6.69×10⁻²⁶ Kg/atom

Now here we will use the Avogadro number.

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

For example,

18 g of water = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules of water

Now in given problem,

6.69×10⁻²⁶ Kg/atom × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms/ mol × 1000 g/ 1kg

40.3×10⁻³×10³g/mol

40.3  g/mol

So the given atom is of Ca.
