Answer:

Atomic Mass of Element = 59.57 amu

Given Data:

Element X Isotope 1 atomic weight = 59.015 amu  

Element X Isotope 2 atomic weight = 62.011 amu

The abundance of lighter isotope = 81.7%

Atomic Mass of Element X = ?

Solution:

81.7% is the abundance of element that is lighter so it is the of the isotope having weight 59.015 amu

Then the remaining abundance = 100 -81.7 = 18.3 %

18.3 % abundance of the isotope weight = 62.011 amu

Formula:

Mass of the element =  % of abundance (atomic mass of Isotope 1) + % of abundance (atomic mass of Isotope 2)

Put the values

Atomic mass of Element X = 81.7/100 (59.015) + 18.3 /100 (62.011)

Atomic mass of Element = 0.817 (59.015) + 0.183 (62.011)

Atomic mass of Element = 48.22 + 11.35

Atomic Mass of Element = 59.57 amu

When neutralizing your acid extracts, you determined how much base solution was needed to fully neutralize your acid and reach a
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

The amount of base needed is the amount that would give one mole of the hydroxide ion needed to neutralise one mole of the hydroxonium ion from the acid.

Explanation:

The chemical reaction between an acid and a base to form salt and water only is called a Neutralization reaction.  Chemically

H⁺ + OH⁻ = H₂0

Hence, one mole of hydroxonium ion (H⁺) will combine with one mole of hydroxide ion (OH⁻) to give salt and water only.

In a completely neutralized reaction, the resulting salt is formed when there is complete dissociation of the acid and base to give salt and water with a pH of 7.

In the given question, the stated pH of between 8-9 tells us that the salt produced in this particular neutralization reaction is basic or alkaline. This usually occurs when a strong base reacts with a weak acid, producing a higher concentration of the hydroxide ion at equilibrium.

Hence the amount of base needed is the amount that would give one mole of the hydroxide ion needed to neutralise one mole of the hydroxonium ion from the acid.

If the concentration or molarity of the acid is known, then the exact amount of base required to neutralize it can be calculated. This is usually done via titrating the acid against drop wise solution of the base. Neutralization usually occurs when there is a change in colour of the resulting solution. The pH of the resulting solution can be determined using a litmus paper.

A blue litmus paper is indicative of a basic solution while a red litmus paper is indicative of an acidic solution.

If nitrogen-13 has a half life of 2.5 years, how much remains from a 100g sample after 7.5 years
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

12.50g

Explanation:

T½ = 2.5years

No = 100g

N = ?

Time (T) = 7.5 years

To solve this question, we'll have to find the disintegration constant λ first

T½ = In2 / λ

T½ = 0.693 / λ

λ = 0.693 / 2.5

λ = 0.2772

In(N/No) = -λt

N = No* e^-λt

N = 100 * e^-(0.2772*7.5)

N = 100*e^-2.079

N = 100 * 0.125

N = 12.50g

The sample remaining after 7.5 years is 12.50g
