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!

How many moles are in 8.30x10^23 molecules of H2o
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
You multiply avogadro's number to what you were given.
8.30x10^23 * 6. 0221409x10^23
=1.357*10^25

That should be the right answer but I'm not sure. It has been awhile since I have done this.

At 25.0°c, a solution has a concentration of 3.179 m and a density of 1.260 g/ml. the density of the solution at 50.0°c is 1.249
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer: -

3.151 M

Explanation: -

Let the volume of the solution be 1000 mL.

At 25.0 °C, Density = 1.260 g/ mL

Mass of the solution = Density x volume

= 1.260 g / mL x 1000 mL

= 1260 g

At 25.0 °C, the molarity = 3.179 M

Number of moles present per 1000 mL = 3.179 mol

Strength of the solution in g / mol

= 1260 g / 3.179 mol = 396.35 g / mol (at 25.0 °C)

Now at 50.0 °C

The density is 1.249 g/ mL

Mass of the solution = density x volume = 1.249 g / mL x 1000 mL

= 1249 g.

Number of moles present in 1249 g = Mass of the solution / Strength in g /mol

= \frac{1249 g}{396.35 g/mol}

= 3.151 moles.

So 3.151 moles is present in 1000 mL at 50.0 °C

Molarity at 50.0 °C = 3.151 M
