The atomic mass of a certain element is summation of the product of the decimal equivalent of the percentage abundance and the given atomic mass of each of the isotope. If we let x be the percentage abundance of the 86 amu-isotope then, the second one is 1-x such that,
                      x(86) + (1 - x)(90) = 87.08
The value of x from the equation is 0.73. This value is already greater than 0.5. Thus, the isotope with greatest abundance is that which is 86 amu.

ioda

Answer:

t = 7.58 * 10¹⁹ seconds

Explanation:

First order rate constant is given as,

k =  (2.303 /t) log  [A₀] /[Aₙ]

where  [A₀]  is the initial concentraion of the reactant; [Aₙ] is the concentration of the reactant at time, <em>t</em>

[A₀]  = 615 calories;

[Aₙ] = 615 - 480 = 135 calories

k = 2.00 * 10⁻²⁰ sec⁻¹

substituting the values in the equation of the rate constant;

2.00 * 10⁻²⁰ sec⁻¹ = (2.303/t) log (615/135)

(2.00 * 10⁻²⁰ sec⁻¹) / log (615/135) = (2.303/t)

t = 2.303 / 3.037 * 10⁻²⁰

t = 7.58 * 10¹⁹ seconds

Balance the following skeleton reactions and identify the oxidizing and reducing agents:(b) P₄(s) → HPO₃²⁻(aq) + PH₃(g) [acidic]
m_a_m_a [10]

The balanced chemical equation is :

5P₄ + 36OH → 12HPO₃⁻² (aq) + 8PH₃ (acidic)

Here the oxidation number of P changed from 0 to -3 in PH₃ and increases  from 0 to +3 in HPO₃⁻². When P₄ changes to PH₃ reduction reaction is taking place as there is addition of hydrogen and when P₄ changes to HPO₃⁻² oxidation takes place as there is addition of oxygen.

Thus clearly both reduction and oxidation are taking place.

Thus, we can infer that here P₄ is both oxidizing as well as reducing agent.
