Neon atoms are known to produce a mass spectrum that consists of three peaks at m/z values of 20, 21 and 22, with the relative a

bundance of the peaks found to be in the ratio 112:0.21:11.1. Assuming the z value of the species causing the peaks to be +1 in each case, calculate the average atomic mass of neon based on these data.

Answer:

Explanation:

m / z = 20 , 21 , 22

m / 1 = 20 , 21 , 22

m = 20 , 21 , 22 .

ratio of isotopes = 112 : 0.21 : 11.1

Average atomic mass = (112 x 20 + .21 x 21 + 11.1 x 22) / (112 + .21 + 11.1 )

=  (2240 + 4.41 + 244.2) / 123.31

= 2488.61 / 123.31

= 20.18

Which is a pure substance?<br> soda<br> gasoline<br> salt water<br> carbon dioxide
hram777 [196]

Answer: Carbon dioxide is a pure substance.

Explanation: A pure substance is defined when a substance has a single type of molecule. If more than 1 type of molecule is present in a substance, then it is considered as a mixture.

  • Soda is basically a mixture of water and carbon dioxide. More than 1 type of molecule is present.
  • Gasoline is a mixture of may gases. More than 1 type of molecule is present.
  • Salt water contains salt and water molecules, hence it is considered as a mixture.
  • Carbon dioxide has only 1 type of molecule which is CO_2 molecules. Hence, it is a pure substance.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!! *What are some of the safety concerns for Barium sulfate &amp; Barium Sulfide? Explain
Alex

BaSO₄ is relatively harmless, but BaS is highly toxic.

BaSO₄ is quite insoluble (240 µg/100 mL). It is a <em>mild irritant</em> in cases of skin contact and inhalation. However, it is <em>safe enough</em> that health professionals ask patients to drink a suspension of BaSO₄. The Ba is opaque to X-rays, so it makes the stomach and intestines more visible to radiographers.

BaS is soluble (7.7 g/100 mL). It reacts slowly with water and more rapidly in the acid conditions of the stomach to <em>release H₂S</em>.

BaS + 2HCl ⟶ BaCl₂ + H₂S

An H₂S concentration of 60 mg/100 mL can be <em>fatal within 30 min</em>.

<em>Don’t eat barium sulfide!</em>

Why is burning wood a chemical change?
Nitella [24]
There are 4 things that are evidence of a chemical change.
1)Change in color
2)Change in shape (gas being let out)
3)Change in temperature
4)Change in smell

Burning wood is a chemical change because it has a change in color, and shape.

According of Dalton's law of Partial pressure, the total pressure of a mixture of gases is the sum of the partial pressures of the individual vases in the mixture.

Hence;

The for hydrogen collected over water, we have a mixture of hydrogen gas and water vapour.

Total pressure = pressure of hydrogen gas + vapour pressure of water

Pressure of hydrogen gas = Total pressure - vapour pressure of water

Pressure of hydrogen gas = 636 mmHg - 28.3 mmHg

Pressure of hydrogen gas = 607.7 mmHg
