Answer:

The average atomic weight = 121.7598 amu

Explanation:

The average atomic weight of natural occurring antimony can be calculated as follows :

To calculate the average atomic mass the percentage abundance must be converted to decimal.

121 Sb has a percentage abundance of 57.21%, the decimal format will be

57.21/100 = 0.5721 . The value is the fractional abundance of 121 Sb .

123 Sb has a percentage abundance of 42.79%, the decimal format will be

42.79/100 = 0.4279. The value is the fractional abundance of 123 Sb .

Next step is multiplying the fractional abundance to it masses

121 Sb = 0.5721 × 120.904 = 69.169178400

123 Sb = 0.4279 × 122.904 = 52.590621600

The final step is adding the value to get the average atomic weight.

69.169178400 + 52.590621600 = 121.7598 amu

What is the concentration of a solution with a volume of 2.5 liters containing 600 grams of calcium phosphate?​
trapecia [35]

Answer:

1.12M

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Volume of solution  = 2.5L

Mass of Calcium phosphate  = 600g

Unknown:

Concentration  = ?

Solution:

Concentration is the number of moles of solute in a particular solution.

Now, we find the number of moles of the calcium phosphate from the given mass;

        Formula of calcium phosphate  = Ca₃PO₄

         molar mass = 3(40) + 31 + 4(16) = 215g/mol  

Number of moles of  Ca₃PO₄  = \frac{600}{215}   = 2.79moles

   Now;

  Concentration  = \frac{Number of moles }{volume }  

 Concentration  = \frac{2.79}{2.5}   = 1.12M

which of the following pairs of elements could react to form an ionic compound? A. potassium and calcium B. sulfur and oxygen C.
Grace [21]
The correct option is FLUORINE AND COPPER.
An ionic compound is usually formed by the combination of a metal and a non metal, the metal usually act as an electron donor while the non metal act as an electron acceptor. Thus, in ionic compounds, there is total transfer of electrons from the metal to the non metal. In the question given here, copper is the metal while the fluorine is the non metal.<span />
