The decomposition of nitrogen dioxide is described by the following chemical equation:

kow [346]

Answer:

The balanced chemical equation will be " $NO_{2}+O\rightarrow NO+O_{2}$ ".

Explanation:

The given equation is:

$2NO_{2}\rightarrow 2NO+O_{2}$

Step 1:

$2NO_{2}\rightarrow NO+O$ ...(equation 1)

Step 2:

$NO_{2}+O\rightarrow NO+O_{2}$ ...(equation 2)

On adding "equation 1" and "equation 2", we get

⇒ $NO_{2}+NO_{2}+O\rightarrow NO+O+NO+O_{2}$

⇒ $2NO_{2}\rightarrow 2NO+O_{2}$

The second step:

⇒ $NO_{2}+O\rightarrow NO+O_{2}$

The average atomic mass of Eu is 151.96 amu. There are only two naturally occurring isotopes of europium, Eu with a mass of 151.

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

The percentage abundance of Eu isotopes are 52 % and 48 % .

Explanation:

The formula for the calculation of the average atomic mass is:

$Average\ atomic\ mass=(\frac {\%\ of\ the\ first\ isotope}{100}\times {Mass\ of\ the\ first\ isotope})+(\frac {\%\ of\ the\ second\ isotope}{100}\times {Mass\ of\ the\ second\ isotope})$

Given that:

Since the element has only 2 isotopes, so the let the percentage of first be x and the second is 100 -x.

For first isotope,:

% = x %

Mass = 151.0 amu

For second isotope :

% = 100 - x

Mass = 153.0 amu

Given, Average Mass = 151.96 amu

Thus,

$151.96=\frac{x}{100}\times {151.0}+\frac{100-x}{100}\times {153.0}$

Solving for x, we get that:

x = 52 %

Thus percentage abundance of Eu isotopes are 52 % and 48 % .

If the density of water is 1g/ml, what is the mass of 254ml of water?

Mariulka [41]

The mass of 254 mL of water is 254 g. Since the density of water is 1g/mL, we can simply multiply the density 1g/mL by 254 mL of water and get 254 g as our answer. Since mL is in the numerator and denominator, mL cancels out and we are left with g only.
