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

Mercury (Hg) poisoning is a debilitating disease that is often fatal. In the human body, mercury reacts with essential enzymes l
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

6 x 10⁵ kg Hg

Explanation:

The mass of mercury in the entire lake is found by multiplying the concentration of the mercury by the volume of the lake.

The volume of the lake is calculated in cubic feet:

V = (SA)x(depth) = (100mi²)(5280ft/mi)² x (20ft) = 5.57568 x 10¹⁰ ft³

Cubic feet are then converted to mL (1cm³=1mL)

(5.57568 x 10¹⁰ ft³) x (12in/ft)³ x (2.54cm/in)³ = 1.578856752 x 10¹⁵ mL

The mass of mercury is then found:

m = CV = (0.4μg/mL)(1g/10⁶μg)(1kg/1000g) x (1.578856752 x 10¹⁵ mL) = 6 x 10⁵ kg Hg

4. a compound called pyrene has the empirical formula c8h5. when 4.04 g of pyrene is dissolved in 10.00 g of benzene, the boilin
e-lub [12.9K]

The molecular mass of pyrene is 204.4 g/mol.

From;

ΔT = Kb m i

Where;

  • ΔT = boiling point elevation
  • Kb = boiling point constant
  • m = molality
  • i = Van't Hoff factor

Since the compound is molecular; i = 1

The number of moles of pyrene = 4.04 g/MM

Where; MM = molar mass of pyrene

molality = number of moles of pyrene/mass of solvent in Kg

The mass of solvent = 10 g or 0.01 Kg

molality =  4.04 g/MM/0.01

ΔT = Boiling point of solution - Boiling point of pure solvent

ΔT = 85.1°C - 80.1°C

ΔT = 5°C

5 = 2.53 × 4.04 g/MM/0.01 × 1

5 = 10.22 × 1/0.01 MM

0.05MM = 10.22

MM= 10.22/0.05

MM= 204.4 g/mol
