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.

4. Ammonia is produced by the chemical reaction of nitrogen and hydrogen. N2 (g) + 3H2(g) →→ 2NH3 (9) (A) Calculate the number o
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

a) No. of moles of hydrogen needed = 5.4 mol

b) Grams of ammonia produced = 27.2 g

Explanation:

N_2 (g)  +  3H_2(g) \rightarrow 2NH_3 (g)

a)

No. of moles of nitrogen = 1.80 mol

1 mole of nitrogen reacts with 3 moles of hydrogen

1.80 moles of nitrogen will react with

                               = 1.80 × 3 = 5.4 moles of hydrogen

b)

No. of moles of hydrogen = 2.4 mol

It is given that nitrogen is present in sufficient amount.

3 moles of hydrogen produce 2 moles of NH_3

2.4 moles of hydrogen will produce

                              = \frac{2}{3} \times 2.4 = 1.6\ mol\ of\ NH_3

Molar mass of ammonia = 17 g/mol

Mass in gram = No. of moles × Molar mass

Mass of ammonia in g = 1.6 × 17

                                    = 27.2 g

A geological sample is found to have a Pb-206/U-238 mass ratio of 0.337/1.00. Assuming there was no Pb-206 present when the samp
azamat

Answer:

Age=2.52*10^9 years

Explanation:

To determine the age, we need to know how much U have become Pb, so first we have to calculate the Pb moles present in a sample:

n_{Pb}=\frac{0.337g}{206g/mol}=0.00164 mol

n_{U}=\frac{1 g}{238g/mol}=0.0042 mol

The percentage of U degradation:

P=\frac{n_{Pb}}{n_{Pb}+n_{U}}

P=\frac{0.00164}{0.00164+0.0042}=0.28

Assuming that the life time is linear:

Age=\frac{4.5*10^9 years}{0.5 life time}*0.28 life time

Age=2.52*10^9 years

(c) which species has the strongest nitrogen-nitrogen bond, n2h4, n2, or n2h2?
nadya68 [22]
<span>N2 is a triple bond, N2H2 is a double bond, N2H4 is a single bond...the more electrons involved in the bond, the shorter the bond...therefore, a triple bond is the shortest and a single bond is the longest. Therefore N2H4 is the strongest.</span>
