Lithium has only two naturally occurring isotopes. The mass of Li-6 is 6.015 amu and the mass of Li-7 is 7.016 amu. The average

atomic mass of lithium is 6.941. (a) Calculate the relative abundances of the two isotopes. (b) What fraction of a sample of lithium atoms actually has a mass of 6.941 amu

Answer:

The answer to your question is :

a) Abundance of Li-6 = 7.49

b) Abundance of Li-7 = 100-7.49 = 92.5

Explanation:

Data           Isotopes                       Mass               Abundance

                     Li-6                           6.015 amu                 y

                     Li-7                            7.016 amu            100 -y

      Lithium atomic mass = 6.941

6.941 = (6.015y) + (7.016)(100-y) /100

6.941 = (6.015y  + 701.6 - 7.016y) / 100

6.941 x 100 = 6.015y - 7.016y + 701.6

694.1 -701.6 = - 1.001y

-7.5 = -1.001 y

y = 7.49

Abundance of Li-6 = 7.49

Abundance of Li-7 = 100-7.49 = 92.5

Answer:

a) The relative abundance of Li-6 =0.0749 = 7.49%

The relative abundance of Li-7 =1 - 0.0749 = 0.9251 =92.51%

b) The fraction of sample of lithium atoms with exact mass of  6.941 amu is 0.

Explanation:

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)

Let the fractional abundance of Li-6 isotope be 'x'. So, fractional abundance of  Li-7 isotope will be '1 - x'

For Li-6 isotope:

Mass of  Li-6 isotope = 6.015 amu

For Li-7 isotope:

Mass of  Li-7 isotope =  7.016 amu

Average atomic mass of lithium =  6.941 amu

6.914 amu=x\times 6.015 amu+(1-x)\times 7.016 amu

x= 0.0749

a) The relative abundance of Li-6 =0.0749 = 7.49%

The relative abundance of Li-7 =1 - 0.0749 = 0.9251 =92.51%

b) The fraction of sample of lithium atoms with exact mass of  6.941 amu is 0. This is because 7.49% of the sample has atomic mass of 6.015 amu and 92.51 % of sample has mass of 7.016 amu. Either the sample atom of lithium will have mass of 6.015 amu or 7.016 amu but it will not be having mass of exact 6.941

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

n_{N_2}=6.41mol

Explanation:

¡Hola!

En este caso, teniendo en cuenta la información dada por el problema, inferimos que primero se debe usar la ecuación del gas ideal con el fin de calcular las moles de gas que se encuentran al inicio del experimento:

PV=nRT\\\\n=\frac{RT}{PV} \\\\n=\frac{0.08206\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*(50.0+273.15)K}{740/760atm*4.25L}\\\\n=6.41mol

Seguidamente, usamos la ley de Avogadro para calcular las moles finales, teniendo el cuenta que el volumen final es el doble del inicial (8.50 L):

n_2=\frac{6.41mol*8.50L}{4.25L}\\\\n_2=12.82mol

Quiere decir que las moles de N2(g) que se agregaron son:

n_{N_2}=12.81mol-6.41mol\\\\n_{N_2}=6.41mol

¡Saludos!

NARA [144]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

The question is incomplete because of the absence of the table but since the question says there are data from an investigation about a plant growth and five other plants (making six) of the same type, the best way to display this type of data for analyst is to use the grouped bar chart. <u>The grouped bar chart will display the data obtained (from an investigation on plant growth) from different students on each of the six plants (of the the same type)</u>.

Colours are usually used to identify the bars (of a group) or could be used to separate the group from other groups but in this case, colours are better used to identify the bars of a group.

A gas cylinder initially contains 463 L of gas at a pressure of 159 atm. If the final volume of gas is 817 L, what is the final
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

The final pressure is 90.1 atm.

Explanation:

Assuming constant temperature, we can solve this problem by using <em>Boyle's Law</em>, which states:

  • P₁V₁=P₂V₂

Where in this case:

  • P₁ = 159 atm
  • V₁ = 463 L
  • P₂ = ?
  • V₂ = 817 L

We <u>input the given data</u>:

  • 159 atm * 463 L = P₂ * 817 L

And <u>solve for P₂</u>:

  • P₂ = 90.1 atm

The final pressure is 90.1 atm.
