Element M has two isotopes,^104M and ^106M.

1 answer:

3 0

To calculate atomic mass, you have to take to weighted average of the isotopes' masses. What that means is M = RA*106 + (1 – RA)*104, where RA is relative abundance expressed in decimal form. If you simplify the right side of that equation, you get M = 2*RA + 104. Doing a little more algebra yields RA = (M –104)/2 = (104.4 – 104)/2 = 0.4 / 2 = 0.2, which is 20%. So the answer is B.

Which of the following leads to a higher rate of diffusion?

tiny-mole [99]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Higher velocity of particles

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

The diffusion rate is determined by a variety of factors which includes;

Temperature such that the higher the temperature, the more kinetic energy the particles will have, so they will move and mix more quickly and the diffusion rate will be high.
Concentration gradient such that the greater the difference in concentration, the quicker the rate of diffusion.
Higher velocity of particles increases the diffusion rate as this means more kinetic energy by the particles and hence the particles will mix and move faster, thus higher diffusion rate.

Calcium cyclamate, Ca(C₆H₁₁NHSO₃)₂, is an artificial sweetener used in many countries around the world but is banned in the Unit

xeze [42]

Answer:

2HC₆H₁₁NHSO₃ + BaCO₃ → Ba(C₆H₁₁NHSO₃)₂ + H₂CO₃;

Ba(C₆H₁₁NHSO₃)₂ + H₂SO₄ → BaSO₄ + 2HC₆H₁₁NHSO₃;

2HC₆H₁₁NHSO₃ + Ca(OH)₂ → Ca(C₆H₁₁NHSO₃)₂ + 2H₂O

Explanation:

First, let's see the reactants for the first reaction and how they dissociate:

HC₆H₁₁NHSO₃ → H⁺ + C₆H₁₁NHSO₃⁻

BaCO₃ → Ba²⁺ + CO₃²⁻ (Barium is from group 2, so its cation has charge +2)

So, to form the products, the cation of one will join the anion of others. The amount of the cation will be the charge of the anion, and the amount of the anion will be the charge of the cation:

H⁺ + CO₃²⁻ → H₂CO₃

Ba²⁺ + C₆H₁₁NHSO₃⁻ → Ba(C₆H₁₁NHSO₃)₂

The reaction then is:

HC₆H₁₁NHSO₃ + BaCO₃ → Ba(C₆H₁₁NHSO₃)₂ + H₂CO₃

The number of elements must be the same on both sides, so the balanced equation is

2HC₆H₁₁NHSO₃ + BaCO₃ → Ba(C₆H₁₁NHSO₃)₂ + H₂CO₃

The treatment with H₂SO₄ will produce:

H₂SO₄ → 2H⁺ + SO₄⁻²

Ba(C₆H₁₁NHSO₃)₂ → Ba²⁺ + C₆H₁₁NHSO₃⁻

The balanced reaction will be then:

Ba(C₆H₁₁NHSO₃)₂ + H₂SO₄ → BaSO₄ + 2HC₆H₁₁NHSO₃

In the last step, HC₆H₁₁NHSO₃ will react with Ca(OH)₂

HC₆H₁₁NHSO₃ → H⁺ + C₆H₁₁NHSO₃⁻

Ca(OH)₂ → Ca²⁺ + 2OH⁻

The balance reaction will be:

2HC₆H₁₁NHSO₃ + Ca(OH)₂ → Ca(C₆H₁₁NHSO₃)₂ + 2H₂O
