Chlorine has two naturally occuring isotopes - chlorine-35 and chlorine-37. Elaborate on how the atomic mass is determined given

that chlorine-35 has an abundance of 75.78% and has a mass of 34.969 amu and that chlorine-37 has an abundance of 24.22% and a mass of 36.966 amu.

Answer : Chlorine will have atomic mass as 35.452 amu

Explanation : To find the atomic mass of Chlorine, we can use the below formula;

Average atomic mass = ∑ (Percent abundance x mass of isotope) / 100

Now, here we have the values of Cl-35 with 75.78% abundance and mass as 34.969

and Cl-37 has 24.22% abundance and mass as 36.966

Substituting these values in the above equation,

Average atomic mass = (75.78 X 34.969) + (24.22 X 36.966) / 100

On solving we get the answer as, Average atomic mass = 35.452 amu.

Ar (Cl) = 34.969 * 75.78/ 100 + 36.966 * 24.22/ 100= 35, 45 :)

What must be the molarity of an aqueous solution of trimethylamine, (ch3)3n, if it has a ph = 11.20? (ch3)3n+h2o⇌(ch3)3nh++oh−kb

<h3>Explanation</h3>

(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N} in this question acts as a weak base. As seen in the equation in the question, (\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N} produces \text{OH}^{-} rather than \text{H}^{+} when it dissolves in water. The concentration of \text{OH}^{-} will likely be more useful than that of \text{H}^{+} for the calculations here.

Finding the value of [\text{OH}^{-}] from pH:

Assume that \text{pK}_w = 14,

\begin{array}{ll}\text{pOH} = \text{pK}_w - \text{pH} \\ \phantom{\text{pOH}} = 14 - 11.20 &\text{True only under room temperature where }\text{pK}_w = 14 \\\phantom{\text{pOH}}= 2.80\end{array}.

[\text{OH}^{-}] =10^{-\text{pOH}} =10^{-2.80} = 1.59\;\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3}.

Solve for [(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}]_\text{initial}:

\dfrac{[\text{OH}^{-}]_\text{equilibrium}\cdot[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{NH}^{+}]_\text{equilibrium}}{[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}]_\text{equilibrium}} = \text{K}_b = 1.58\times 10^{-3}

Note that water isn't part of this expression.

The value of Kb is quite small. The change in (\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N} is nearly negligible once it dissolves. In other words,

[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}]_\text{initial} = [(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}]_\text{final}.

Also, for each mole of \text{OH}^{-} produced, one mole of (\text{CH}_3)_3\text{NH}^{+} was also produced. The solution started with a small amount of either species. As a result,

[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{NH}^{+}] = [\text{OH}^{-}] = 10^{-2.80} = 1.58\times 10^{-3}\;\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3}.

\dfrac{[\text{OH}^{-}]_\text{equilibrium}\cdot[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{NH}^{+}]_\text{equilibrium}}{[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}]_\textbf{initial}} = \text{K}_b = 1.58\times 10^{-3},

[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}]_\textbf{initial} =\dfrac{[\text{OH}^{-}]_\text{equilibrium}\cdot[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{NH}^{+}]_\text{equilibrium}}{\text{K}_b},

[(\text{CH}_3)_3\text{N}]_\text{initial} =\dfrac{(1.58\times10^{-3})^{2}}{6.3\times10^{-5}} = 0.040\;\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3}.
