Sodium only has one naturally occuring isotope, Na23 , with a relative atomic mass of 22.9898 u. A synthetic, radioactive isotop

e of sodium, Na22 , is used in positron emission tomography. Na22 has a relative atomic mass of 21.9944 u.
A 1.5909 g sample of sodium containing a mixture of Na23 and Na22 has an apparent "atomic mass" of 22.9785 u . Find the mass of Na22 contained in this sample

Answer:

0.000399316  g

Explanation:

We can start with the <u>molar fraction</u> for each isotope:

We can say that the abudandance of ^2^3Na is an unknow value <u>"X"</u> and the molar fraction of ^2^2Na is <u>"Y"</u>. We have to keep in mind that the molar fractions can be added:

Y + X = 1

So, we can put the molar fraction of ^2^2Na in terms of ^2^3Na, so:

Y=1-X

So, we will have the <u>molar fraction of each isotope</u>:

^2^2Na: X-1

^2^3Na: X

And the <u>atomic mass</u>:

^2^2Na: 21.9944

^2^3Na: 22.9898

If we multiply the molar mass by the each atomic mass of each isotope we will have:

22.9898*(X)~+~21.9944*(X-1)~=~22.9785

Now we can solve for "X" :

22.9898X~+~21.9944X~-21.9944~=~22.9785

44.9842X-21.9944~=~22.9785

44.9842X~=~22.9785~+~21.9944&#10;

44.9842X~=~44.9729&#10;

X~=~\frac{44.9729}{44.9842}

X~=~0.999749&#10;

The molar fraction of ^2^3Na is <u>0.999749</u>. Now we can calculate the molar fraction of ^2^2Na, so:

Y~=~1-0.999749~=~0.000251&#10;

Now, if we multiply the molar fraction by the mass we can find the <u>mass</u> of ^2^2Na, so:

mass~of~^2^2Na~=~1.5909~g*0.000251~=~0.000399316~&#10;g

The mass of ^2^2Na is 0.000399316  g

I hope it helps!

The solubility of CO2 in water is 0.161 g/100 mL at 20oC and a partial pressure of CO2 of 760 mmHg. What partial pressure of CO2
Schach [20]

<u>Answer:</u> The partial pressure of carbon dioxide having solubility 0.886g/100mL is 4182.4 mmHg

<u>Explanation:</u>

Henry's law states that the amount of gas dissolved or molar solubility of gas is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the liquid.

The equation given by Henry's law is:

C_{CO_2}=K_H\times p_{CO_2}       ......(1)

where,

C_{CO_2 = solubility of carbon dioxide in water = 0.161 g/100 mL

K_H = Henry's constant = ?

p_{CO_2} = partial pressure of carbon dioxide = 760 mmHg

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

760mmHg=K_H\times 0.161g/100mL\\\\K_H=\frac{760mmHg}{0.161g/100mL}=4720.5g.mmHg/100mL

Now, calculating the pressure of carbon dioxide using equation 1, we get:

C_{CO_2 = solubility of carbon dioxide in water = 0.886 g/100 mL

K_H = Henry's constant = 4720.5 g.mmHg/100 mL

p_{CO_2} = partial pressure of carbon dioxide = ?

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

p_{CO_2}=4720.5g.mmHg/100mL\times 0.886g/100mL=4182.4mmHg

Hence, the partial pressure of carbon dioxide having solubility 0.886g/100mL is 4182.4 mmHg

The following equation is balanced correctly. 4C2H6 + 7O2 --&gt; 6H2O + 4CO2<br> True <br> False
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer: False

Explanation:

4C2H6 + 7O2 --> 6H2O + 4CO2

8 Carbons on the reactant side, but 4 Carbons on the Product

24 Hydrogens on Reactant, 12 H on product

But Oxygen is balanced, 14 on each side
