In a naturally occurring sample, 19.8% of boron atoms have five neutrons and 80.2% have six neutrons. What is the mass number of

each boron isotope? Sketch a sample of 10 atoms that is nearly representative of a natural sample. What is the average mass of the atoms in your drawing? What is the atomic mass of boron? (Boron-10 has a mass of 10.01294 amu and boron-11 has a mass of 11.00931 amu.)

Answer:

Mass of Boron with 5 neutrons = 10.07975 amu.

Mass of Boron with 6 neutrons = 11.08842 amu.

Average mass of the 10 atoms = 10.886686 amu.

Atomic mass of Boron = 10.81203 amu.

Explanation:

Boron has an atomic number equal to 5, so it has 5 protons in its nucleus. The mass number is given by the sum of the mass of protons and neutrons.

One proton has 1.00728 amu, and 1 neutron has 1.00867. So, the mass of the isotope which has 5 neutrons is:

Mass = 5x1.00728 + 5x1.00867 = 10.07975 amu

And the mass of the isotope with 6 neutrons is:

Mass = 5x1.00728 + 6x1.00867 = 11.08842 amu.

With 10 atoms of boron, 2 (19.8%) will have 5 neutrons and will have a mass equal to 10.07975 amu, and 8 (80.2%) will have 6 neutrons and mass equal to 11.08842 amu. So, the average mass is:

Average mass = (2x10.07975 + 8x11.08842)/10

Average mass = 10.886686 amu.

The atomic mass of Boron will be the average mass of its isotopes. So, for the mass of the isotope given, the atomic mass will be:

atomic mass = 0.198x10.01294 + 0.802x11.00931

atomic mass = 10.81203 amu.

Mr. Ragusa asks Hassan to make silver crystals from the following reaction.
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

Percentage yield = 61.7%

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated:

2AgNO₃ + Cu —> Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2Ag

Next, we shall determine the mass of AgNO₃ that reacted and the mass of Ag produced from the balanced equation. This is illustrated below:

Molar mass of AgNO₃ = 108 + 14 + (16×3)

= 108 + 14 + 48

= 170 g/mol

Mass of AgNO₃ from the balanced equation = 2 × 170 = 340 g

Molar mass of Ag = 108 g/mol

Mass of Ag from the balanced equation = 2 × 108 = 216 g

SUMMARY:

From the balanced equation above,

340 g of AgNO₃ reacted to produce 216 g of Ag.

Next, we shall determine the theoretical yield of Ag. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

340 g of AgNO₃ reacted to produce 216 g of Ag.

Therefore, 51 g of AgNO₃ will react to produce = (51 × 216)/340 = 32.4 g of Ag.

Thus, the theoretical yield of Ag is 32.4 g.

Finally, we shall determine the percentage yield of Ag. This can be obtained as follow:

Actual yield = 20 g

Theoretical yield = 32.4 g

Percentage yield =?

Percentage yield = Actual yield /Theoretical yield × 100

Percentage yield = 20 / 32.4 × 100

Percentage yield = 61.7%

When sulfate (SO42-) serves as the electron acceptor at the end of a respiratory electron transport chain, the product is?
o-na [289]

When sulfate (SO₄²⁻) serves as the electron acceptor at the end of a respiratory electron transport chain, the product is hydrogen sulfide (H₂S).

How sulfate acts as electon acceptor and electron donor?

  • Sulfate (SO₄²⁻) is used as the electron acceptor in sulfate reduction, which results in the production of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) as a metabolic byproduct.
  • Many Gram negative bacteria identified in the -Proteobacteria use sulfate reduction, which is a rather energy-poor process.
  • Gram-positive organisms connected to Desulfotomaculum or the archaeon Archaeoglobus also utilise it.
  • Electron donors are needed for sulfate reduction, such as hydrogen gas or the carbon molecules lactate and pyruvate (organotrophic reducers) (lithotrophic reducers).

A 2.04 g lead weight, initially at 10.8 oC, is submerged in 7.62 g of water at 52.3 oC in an insulated container. clear = 0.128
alisha [4.7K]

Answer: The final temperature of both the weight and the water at thermal equilibrium is 50.26^{o}C.

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

mass = 7.62 g,           T_{2} = 10.8^{o}C

Let us assume that T be the final temperature. Therefore, heat lost by water is calculated as follows.

       q = mC \times \Delta T    

          = 7.62 g \times 4.184 J/^{o}C \times (52.3 - T)

Now, heat gained by lead will be calculated as follows.

       q = mC \times \text{Temperature change of lead}  

           = 2.04 \times 0.128 \times (T - 11.0)

According to the given situation,

     Heat lost = Heat gained

7.62 g \times 4.184 J/^{o}C \times (52.3 - T) = 2.04 \times 0.128 \times (T - 11.0)

        T = 50.26^{o}C

Thus, we can conclude that the final temperature of both the weight and the water at thermal equilibrium is 50.26^{o}C.

If chlorine gas is bubbled through an aqueous solution of sodium iodide, the result is elemental iodine and aqueous sodium chlor
zvonat [6]
The balanced reaction that describes the reaction of chlorine gas and sodium iodide to produce elemental iodine and sodium chloride in aqueous solution is expressed Cl2+2NaI= I2 + 2NaCl. This kind of reaction is called single replacement reaction where the anion, in this case, is only replaced.
