Answer:

24.7 amu

Explanation:

An isotope is when an element can have different number of neutrons but they have same number of protons.

In order to calculate the average atomic mass with the given information do the following operations:

First change de percentages to fractional numbers, divide by 100.

I like to make a table, to organize all data and I believe is easier to understand.

65/100 = 0.65

35/100 = 0.35

% fraction

65.0 0.65

35.0 0.35

total100.0 1

Now multiply each mass with their corresponding fraction

24 (0.65) = 15.6

26 (0.35) = 9.1

%    fraction uma uma

65.0 0.65 24 15.6

35.0 0.35 26 9.1

total100.0    1          24.7

Finally you add the resulting mass and the units will be in uma.

15.6+9.1 = 24.7

Therefore the average atomic mass of this element will be 24.7 uma.

Rusting of iron is a very common chemical reaction. It results in one form from Fe reacting with oxygen gas to produce iron (III
Vlada [557]

<u>Answer:</u> The given amount of iron reacts with 9.0 moles of O_2 and produce 6.0 moles of Fe_2O_3

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Moles of iron = 12.0 moles

The chemical equation for the rusting of iron follows:

4Fe+3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3

  • <u>For oxygen gas:</u>

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

4 moles of iron reacts with 3 moles of oxygen gas

So, 12.0 moles of iron will react with = \frac{3}{4}\times 12.0=9.0mol of oxygen gas

  • <u>For iron (III) oxide:</u>

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

4 moles of iron produces 2 moles of iron (III) oxide

So, 12.0 moles of iron will produce = \frac{2}{4}\times 12.0=6.0mol of iron (III) oxide

Hence, the given amount of iron reacts with 9.0 moles of O_2 and produce 6.0 moles of Fe_2O_3

Drag each label to the correct location on the chart. Classify each reaction as endothermic or exothermic.
fomenos

A reaction is exothermic if Δ<em>H</em> (or \Delta H _\text{rxn} in some textbooks) is negative:

  • H₂ + Br → 2 HBr, ΔH < 0.
  • CH₄ + 2 O₂ → CO₂ + 2 H₂O, ΔH < 0.

A reaction is endothermic if Δ<em>H</em> is positive:

  • 2 NH₃ → N₂ + 3 H₂, ΔH > 0.
  • 2 HCl → H₂ + Cl₂ ΔH > 0.
<h3>Explanation</h3>

The enthalpy of a system is the sum of its internal energy. ΔH < 0 indicates that the reactants lose internal energy in the reaction. Energy conserves, and those internal energies must have converted to some other form of energy. They typically end up as thermal energy. The reaction will release heat since it is exothermic.

Similarly, ΔH > 0 indicates that the reactants gains internal energy in the reaction. Energy conserves. As a result, the reaction must have gained energy from its surroundings. The reaction will be endothermic since it absorbs heat.
