An interplanetary probe returns to Earth with soil samples. The atoms in the sample are sorted by their number of protons. A new

element is discovered! The new element has 120 protons. 20.0% of these new atoms have 120 neutrons, and the remaining 80.0% have 110 neutrons. They decide to call the new element Bolognium, Bo. What AVERAGE atomic mass should the scientists report in amu? Enter your answer below to the nearest WHOLE NUMBER with no units.

Answer is: the average atomic mass is 232.

ω₁ = 20% ÷ 100%.

ω₁ = 0.20.

ω₂ = 80% ÷ 100%.

ω₂ = 0.80.

Ar₁ = 120 (number of protons) + 120 (number of neutrons).

Ar₁ = 240.

Ar₂ = 120 + 110 .

Ar₂ = 230.

Average atomic mass of atoms of bolognium =  

Ar₁ · ω₁ + Ar₂ · ω₂.  

Average atomic mass of atoms of bolognium =  240 · 0.2 + 230 · 0.8.  

Average atomic mass of atoms of bolognium = 48 + 184.  

Average atomic mass of atoms of bolognium = 232.

The ratio of nitrogen to oxygen by mass in NO is 7.0:8.0. Identify the ratio of nitrogen to oxygen by mass in NO2 and N2O7 .
Rus_ich [418]

This problem is providing the ratio of nitrogen to oxygen by mass in nitrogen monoxide, NO, as 7.0:8.0 and asks for the same ratio but in NO₂ and N₂O₇. After doing the calculations, the results are 7.0:16.0 and 1.0:4.0 respectively.

<h3>Mass ratios:</h3>

In chemistry, one can calculate the mass ratios in chemical formulas according to the atomic mass of each atom. In such a way, one knows the mass ratio of nitrogen to oxygen in NO is 7.0:8.0 because we divide the atomic mass of nitrogen by oxygens:

\frac{14}{16}=\frac{7.0}{8.0}

Now, for chemical formulas with subscripts, one must multiply the atomic mass of the element by the subscript in the formula, which is the case of NO₂ and N₂O₇ as shown below:

NO_2:\frac{14}{16*2}=\frac{14}{32} =\frac{7.0}{16.0}  \\&#10;\\&#10;N_2O_7:\frac{14*2}{16*7}=\frac{28}{112} =\frac{1.0}{4.0}

Therefore, the results for NO₂ and N₂O₇ are 7.0:16.0 and 1.0:4.0 respectively
