Answer:
20.2 amu.
Explanation:
Let A represent isotope ²⁰X
Let B represent isotope ²²X
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
For Isotope A (²⁰X):
Mass of A = 20
Abundance (A%) = 90%
For Isotope B (²²X):
Mass of B = 22
Abundance (A%) = 10%
Relative atomic mass (RAM) =?
The relative atomic mass (RAM) of the element can be obtained as follow:
RAM = [(Mass of A × A%)/100] + [(Mass of B × B%)/100]
RAM = [(20 × 90)/100] + [(22 × 10)/100]
RAM = 18 + 2.2
RAM = 20.2 amu
Thus, relative atomic mass (RAM) of the element is 20.2 amu
The reaction between the reactants would be:
CH₃NH₂ + HCl ↔ CH₃NH₃⁺ + Cl⁻
Let the conjugate acid undergo hydrolysis. Then, apply the ICE approach.
CH₃NH₃⁺ + H₂O → H₃O⁺ + CH₃NH₂
I 0.11 0 0
C -x +x +x
E 0.11 - x x x
Ka = [H₃O⁺][CH₃NH₂]/[CH₃NH₃⁺]
Since the given information is Kb, let's find Ka in terms of Kb.
Ka = Kw/Kb, where Kw = 10⁻¹⁴
So,
Ka = 10⁻¹⁴/5×10⁻⁴ = 2×10⁻¹¹ = [H₃O⁺][CH₃NH₂]/[CH₃NH₃⁺]
2×10⁻¹¹ = [x][x]/[0.11-x]
Solving for x,
x = 1.483×10⁻⁶ = [H₃O⁺]
Since pH = -log[H₃O⁺],
pH = -log(1.483×10⁻⁶)
<em>pH = 5.83</em>
<span>The correct answer is 'freezing point depression'. Colligative properties depend on the concentration of molecules of a solute. Examples of other colligative properties are boiling point elevation or vapour pressure lowering. The salt causes ice on the side walk to melt because it lowers the freezing point. </span>
