The atomic mass of the elements is the weighted average of the masses of the isotopes.
 
This is, atomic mass = % of isotope 1 * mass number of isotope 1 +  % of isotope 2 * mass number of isotope 2 + .... +  % of isotpe 3 * mass number of isotope n.

Applied to our hypotethical element with 3 isotopes:

aomic mass of the element = 39.2 = 78.8% * 39 + 3.1% * 41 + 18.1% * x

Solve for x, x = [39.2 - 30.732 - 1.271] / .181 = 39.76 = 40

What istope of an atom if it has 29 protons and 36 neutrons?<br>​
Lunna [17]

Answer:

Copper Atoms

Explanation:

All copper atoms have atomic number 29: all their nuclei contain 29 protons. But they also contain uncharged particles called neutrons. In natural copper, the atoms are of two kinds. One has 29 protons and 34 neutrons in the nucleus; the other has 29 protons and 36 neutrons

Balance the following skeleton reactions and identify the oxidizing and reducing agents:(b) P₄(s) → HPO₃²⁻(aq) + PH₃(g) [acidic]
m_a_m_a [10]

The balanced chemical equation is :

5P₄ + 36OH → 12HPO₃⁻² (aq) + 8PH₃ (acidic)

Here the oxidation number of P changed from 0 to -3 in PH₃ and increases  from 0 to +3 in HPO₃⁻². When P₄ changes to PH₃ reduction reaction is taking place as there is addition of hydrogen and when P₄ changes to HPO₃⁻² oxidation takes place as there is addition of oxygen.

Thus clearly both reduction and oxidation are taking place.

Thus, we can infer that here P₄ is both oxidizing as well as reducing agent.

If the reaction 2HgO --&gt; 2Hg + O2 is endothermic, which bonds are the strongest?
Alika [10]
  • Endothermic reaction means the reactant side takes heat from surrounding and get decomposed i.e ∆H=-ve
  • If the equation is exothermic then it means the reactant is happy to decompose .But it's not as it's endothermic

Now

  • HgO is Omitted from our solution option.

Hg is a atom so no bonds hence no bond strength occurs.

  • O_2 is a molecule and so it's our answer .

Three mixtures were prepared from three very narrow molar mass distribution polystyrene samples with molar masses of 10,000, 30,
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

(a). 46,666.7 g/mol; 78,571.4 g/mol

(b). 86950g/mol; 46,666.7 g/mol.

(c). 86950g/mol; 43,333.33 g/mol

Explanation:

So, we are given the molar masses for the three samples as: 10,000, 30,000 and 100,000 g mol−1.

Thus, the equal number of molecule in each sample = ( 10,000 + 30,000 + 100,000 ) / 3 = 46,666.7 g/mol.

The average molar mass = [ ( 10,000)^2 + (30,000)^2 + 100,000)^2] ÷ 10,000 + 30,000 + 100,000 = 78,571. 4 g/mol.

(b). The equal masses of each sample = 3/[ ( 1/ 10,000) + (1/30,000 ) + (1/100,000) ] = 20930.23 g/mol.

Average molar mass = ( 10,000 + 30,000 + 100,000 ) / 3 = 46,666.7 g/mol.

(c). Equal masses of the two samples = (0.145 × 10,000) + (0.855 × 100,000)/ 0.145 + 0.855 = 86950g/mol.

The weight average molar mass = 1.7 + 10,000 + 100,000/ 1.7 + 1 = 43,333.33 g/mol.
