There are two naturally occurring isotopes of gallium:  mass of Ga-69 isotope is 68.9256 amu and its percentage abundance is 60.11%, let the mass of other isotope that is Ga-71 be X, the percentage abundance can be calculated as:

%Ga-71=100-60.11=39.89%

Atomic mass of an element is calculated by taking sum of atomic masses of its isotopes multiplied by their percentage abundance.

Thus, in this case:

Atomic mass= m(Ga-69)×%(Ga-69)+X×%(Ga-71)

From the periodic table, atomic mass of Ga is 69.723 amu.

Putting the values,

69.723 amu=(68.9256 amu)(\frac{60.11}{100})+X(\frac{39.89}{100})

Thus,

69.723 amu=41.4312 amu+X(\frac{39.89}{100})

Rearranging,

X=\frac{69.723 amu-41.4312 amu}{0.3989}=70.9246 amu

Therefore, mass of Ga-71 isotope is 70.9246 amu.

Answer: The atomic mass of gallium-71 is 70.92 amu.

Explanation:

Mass of isotope Ga-69 = 68.9256 amu

% abundance of isotope Ga-69 = 60.11% = \frac{60.11}{100}=0.6011

Mass of isotope Ga-71 = ?

% abundance of isotope Ga-71 = (100-60.11)% = \frac{39.89}{100}=0.3989

Formula used for average atomic mass of an element :

\text{ Average atomic mass of an element}=\sum(\text{atomic mass of an isotopes}\times {{\text { fractional abundance}})

\text{ Average atomic mass of an element}=69.723amu

69.723 =\sum[(68.9256\times 0.6011)+(x\times 0.3989)]

x=70.92amu

Therefore, the atomic mass of gallium-71  is 70.92 amu.

A student needs to prepare 100. mL of 0.612 M Cu(NO3)2 solution. What mass, in grams, of copper(II) nitrate should the student u
Temka [501]

Answer: 11.5 grams

Explanation:

Molarity of a solution is defined as the number of moles of solute dissolved per Liter of the solution

Molarity=\frac{n\times 1000}{V_s}

where,

Morality = 0.612 M

n= moles of solute  

V_s = volume of solution in ml = 100 ml

Now put all the given values in the formula of molarity, we get

0.612=\frac{n\times 1000}{100ml}

n=0.0612moles

Mass={\text {moles of solute }}{\times {\text {molar mass}}=0.0612moles\times 187.56g/mol=11.5g

Therefore, the mass of copper (II)nitrate required is 11.5 grams

Answer:

The correct option is (a).

Explanation:

We need to find the product of given numbers.

First number = 29.5

Second number = 240

Product of two numbers = 29.5 × 240

= \dfrac{295}{10}\times 240

Zeroes from numerator and denominator get cancelled.

So,

=295\times 24\\\\=7080

Hence, the correct option is (a).
