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!

If we react 30 grams of ethane (C2H6 ) with 320 grams of oxygen, how many grams of carbon dioxide would we make
V125BC [204]

The mass of carbon dioxide that would be made by reacting 30 grams C2H6 with 320 grams O2 will be 80 grams

From the balanced equation of the reaction:

2C_2H_6+7O_2---4CO_2+6H_2O

The mole ratio of C2H6 to O2 is 2:7.

  • Mole of 30 grams C2H6 = mass/molar mass

                                        = 30/30

                                       = 1 mole

  • Mole of 320 grams O2 = 320/32

                                       = 10 moles

Thus, C2H6 is the limiting reactant.

Mole ratio of C2H6 to CO2 according to the equation = 1:2

Since the mole of C2H6 is 1, the equivalent mole of CO2 would, therefore, be 2.

Mass of 2 moles CO2 = mole x molar mass

                                    = 2 x 44

                                      = 88 grams

It is found that a gas undergoes a first-order decomposition reaction. If the rate constant for this reaction is 8.1 x 10-2 /min
kap26 [50]

Answer:

28.43 min

Explanation:

Using integrated rate law for first order kinetics as:

[A_t]=[A_0]e^{-kt}

Where,  

[A_t] is the concentration at time t

[A_0] is the initial concentration

Given that:

The rate constant, k = 8.1\times 10^{-2} min⁻¹

Initial concentration [A_0] = 0.1 M

Final concentration [A_t] = 1.0\times 10^{-2} M

Time = ?

Applying in the above equation, we get that:-

1.0\times 10^{-2}=0.1e^{-8.1\times 10^{-2}\times t}

0.1e^{-8.1\times \:10^{-2}t}=10^{-2}

e^{-8.1\times \:10^{-2}t}=\frac{1}{10}

\ln \left(e^{-8.1\times \:10^{-2}t}\right)=\ln \left(\frac{1}{10}\right)

t=28.43\ min
