0.295 * 203 = 53.885
0.705 * 205 = 144.525
53.885 + 144.525 = 204.41
The relative atomic mass of Thallium is 204.41

Answer:

204.41 is the relative atomic mass of thallium.

Explanation:

Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.

Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:

\text{Average atomic mass }=\sum_{i=1}^n\text{(Atomic mass of an isotopes)}_i\times \text{(Fractional abundance})_i .....(1)

We are given:

Mass of Thallium-203= 203 u

Percentage abundance of Thallium-203= 29.5%

Fractional abundance of Thallium-203= 0.295

Mass of Thallium-205 = 270.9 u

Percentage abundance of Thallium-205 = 70.5%

Fractional abundance of Thallium-203 = 0.705

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Average atomic mass of Thallium}=\sum[(203 u\times 0.295)+(205 u\times 0.705)]

\text{Average atomic mass of Thallium}=204.41 u

204.41 is the relative atomic mass of thallium.

slava [35]

Answer:

pH of resulting solution = 7.98

Explanation:

The balanced equation  

HA + NaOH - Na+ + A- + H2O

Number of moles of A = Number of moles of HA  = Number of moles of NaOH

= 35.8/1000 * 0.020 = 0.000716 mol

Initial concentration of A = 0.000716/0.0608 = 0.01178 M

pKb = 14 – pKa = 14 -3.9 = 10.1

Kb = 10^{-Kb} = 10^{-10.1} = 7.943 * 10^-11

Kb = [HA][OH-]/[A-]

Kb = a^2/(0.01178 -a) = 7.943 * 10^-11

a^2 + 7.943 * 10^-11 a – 9.357 * 10^-13 = 0

a = 9.673 * 10^-7

OH- = a = 9.673 * 10^-7 M

pOH = -log [OH-] = -log (9.673 * 10^-7) = 6.02

pH = 14-6.02 = 7.98

Write a half-reaction for the oxidation of the manganese in MnCO3(s) to MnO2(s) in neutral groundwater where the carbonate-conta
Leokris [45]

Answer:MnCO3+2H2O----->MnO2+ HCO3-+2e-+3H+

Explanation:The equation to be balanced is

MnCO3 ------> MnO2+HCO3-

The oxidation number of Mn changes from +2 in MnCO3 to +4 in MnO2

Therefore two electrons must be added to the right as shown below:

MnCO3 -------> MnO2+ HCO3-+ 2e-Now,there is one negative charge HCO3- and 1 negative charge on the two electrons making a total of -3 charges on the right. There is zero charge on the left.

To balance the equation,add3H+on the right,to cancel out the charges.

MnCO3 --------> MnO2+HCO3-+2e-+3H+

Adding H2O to balance Hydrogen and Oxygen atoms:

MnCO3+2H2O ------->MnO2+HCO3-+2e-+3H+
