0.295 * 203 = 53.885
0.705 * 205 = 144.525
53.885 + 144.525 = 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.

If 8.6 g of ch4 and 5.9 g of o2 react, what is the mass, in grams, of h2o that is produced?
Alenkasestr [34]
This may seem confusing because they give you two masses, but all you have to do is pick one to do the calculations. Personally, I would pick O2, since the molar mass is easier to calculate. The answer would be 3.3 g (rounded for sig figs). To get this, first take the 5.9 grams of O2 and convert it to moles by dividing by the molar mass of oxygen gas, which is 32. Then, multiply both by the mole-mole ratio, which is 2:2, or simply 1:1. After that, multiply that by 18g, which is the molar mass of water to get grams of water. 

REMEMBER, you have to write and balance the chemical equation before you can do any of that work. 
That happens to be CH4 + 2O2 => CO2 + 2H2O

A 25.0 mL sample of a solution of an unknown compound is titrated with a 0.115 M NaOH solution. A buffer region was found around
irinina [24]

Answer:

The unknown compound is a weak acid.

Explanation:

Given that :

a 25 mL sample of a solution of an unknown compound is titrated with a 0.115 M NaOH solution.

A buffer region was found around a pH of 3.5. We know that a pH of 3.5 is a weak acid. So, it is likely to be an organic acid

Let assume the solution of the unknown sample to be CH₃COOH

Now :

25 mL of CH₃COOH reacted with 0.115 M of NaOH

The equation for the reaction will be :

CH₃COOH    +    NaOH -----> CH₃COONa + H₂O

at x mole of      0.115y M of

CH₃COOH       NaOH is present

If NaOH was added in excess;

CH₃COOH    +    NaOH -----> CH₃COONa , NaOH will be lost then CH₃COOH    and CH₃COONa will be present

Therefore;

At equilibrium : Only CH₃COONa will be present but if it is above equilibrium NaOH will be present   because the pH will increase due to the presence of the strong base
