Answer:

The mass of the element is 28.085 amu

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Masses of isotopes:

27.977 amu ⇒

28.976 amu ⇒ 4.68%

29.973 amu ⇒  3.09%

Step 2: Calculate the abundance of the other isotope

100% - 4.68% - 3.09 % = 92.23 %

Step 3: calculate the mass othe element

0.9223 * 27.977 + 0.0468 * 28.976 + 0.0309*29.973 = total mass of the element

Total mass of the element = 28.085 amuj

The mass of the element is 28.085 amu

Describe solids,liquids, and gases interms of how they fill a container. Use your descriptions to identify the physical state (a
nadezda [96]

Explanation:

As it is known that in solids, molecules are held together because of strong intermolecular forces of attraction. As a result, they are held together and have definite shape and volume.

Whereas in liquids, molecules are not held so strongly as they are in solids. Hence, they move from their initial position and they do not have definite shape but they have definite volume.

Liquids obtain the shape of container in which they are kept.

In gases, molecules are held together by weak intermolecular forces. As a result, they move far apart from each other and occupy the space of a container or vessel in which they are placed.

The physical state (at room temperature) of the following are determined as follows:

(a)  Helium in a toy balloon : Helium at room temperature exists as a gas. So, when helium is present in a toy balloon then it acquires the volume of toy balloon.

(b)   Mercury in a thermometer : Mercury at room temperature exists as a liquid. When it is placed in a thermometer then volume of mercury does not get affected.

(c)    Soup in a bowl : Since, soup is a liquid. Hence, its volume will not change according to the volume of container.

What mass of sodium hydroxide is needed to neutralise 24.5kg of sulfuric acid <br> H2SO4 + N2 = 2NH3
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

23.92 g

Explanation:

Molar mass of H2SO4 = (2×1)+32+(16×4)= 2+32+48= 82g/mol

H2SO4 + 2NaOH ---> Na2SO4 + 2H2O

I mole of H2SO4 = 2 moles of NaOH

24.5/82 = 24.5/82 × 2

= 0.598 moles of NaOH will neutralize

Mass= mole× molar mass

Molar mass of NaOH= 23+16+1 = 40g/mol

Mass= 0.598 × 40 = 23.92g of NaOH

What is the total amount of heat required to completely melt 347 grams of ice at its melting point?
Bogdan [553]
In order to calculate the amount of heat energy required to melt 347 grams of ice, we need to will apply the equation:
Q = ml, where m is the mass of substance and l is its latent heat of fusion. For ice, the latent heat of fusion is 334 joules per gram. Therefore:
Q = 347 x 334
Q = 112,558 joules of energy

Hope this helped.

When NH3(aq) is added to Cu2 (aq), a precipitate initially forms. Its formula is:
Rasek [7]
It’s B the cu looses its 2 and passes it to the NH3 that needs a bracket to separate them. The NH3 doesn’t loose its 3 because it’s already a compound!
