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

C + 2H2 -> CH4
ankoles [38]

Answer:

<u>C) 4</u>

Explanation:

<u>The reaction</u> :

  • C (s) + 2H₂ (g) ⇒ CH₄ (g)

       12g      4g             16g

Hence, based on this we can say that : <u>2 moles of hydrogen gas are needed to produce 16g of methane.</u>

<u />

<u>For 32g of methane</u>

  • Number of moles of H₂ = 32/16 × 2
  • Number of moles of H₂ = <u>4</u>

"A base is a substance that produce OH-ions." Which definition of a base is this?
Andru [333]

Answer:

C. Arrhenius

An Arrhenius base is a substance that dissociates in water to form hydroxide (OH–) ions. In other words, a base increases the concentration of OH– ions in an aqueous solution.

The mass of a silver bracelet is 2.5 gram, it occupies a volume of 48cm3, what is its density?​
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>0.052 g/cm³</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume} \\

From the question

mass = 2.5 g

volume = 48 cm³

The density is

density =  \frac{2.5}{48}   \\  = 0.052083333...

We have the final answer as

<h3>0.052 g/cm³</h3>

Hope this helps you

When bismuth-212 undergoes alpha decay, it becomes which of the following?
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer: -

When bismuth-212 undergoes alpha decay, it becomes ²⁰⁸Tl

Explanation: -

Mass number of ²¹²Bi = 212

Atomic number of ²¹²Bi = 83

When alpha decay occurs the mass number decreases by 4 and the atomic number decreases by 2.

Mass number of daughter = 212 - 4 = 208

Atomic number of daughter = 83 - 2 = 81

It is the atomic number of Thallium Tl.

Thus the daughter nucleide is ²⁰⁸Tl.
