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!

In this experiment you will create solutions with different ratios of ethanol and water. What is the mole fraction of ethanol wh
Andrej [43]

Answer:

The mole fraction of ethanol is 0.6. A 10 mL volumetric pipette must be used for to measure the 10 mL of ethanol. The vessel should be clean and purged.

Explanation:

For calculating mole fraction of ethanol, the amount of moles ethanol must be calculated. Using ethanol density (0.778 g/mL), 10 mL of ethanol equals to 7.89 g of ethanol and in turn 0.17 moles of ethanol. The same way for calculate the amount of water moles (ethanol density=0.997 g/mL). 2 mL of water correspond to 0.11. The total moles are: 0.17+0.11=0.28. Mole fraction alcohol is: 0.17/0.28=0.6

A block has a mass of 25 grams and a volume of 24.5 cm3 what is the<br> density of the block?
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 1.02 g/cm³</h3>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume} \\

From the question

mass of block = 25 g

volume = 24.5 cm³

The density of the block is

density =  \frac{25}{24.5}  \\  = 1.020408163...

We have the final answer as

<h3>1.02 g/cm³</h3>

Hope this helps you
