<u>Answer:</u> The average atomic mass of the element is 6.95 amu

<u>Explanation:</u>

Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.

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)

We are given:

Mass of isotope 1 = 7.02 amu

Percentage abundance of isotope 1 = 92.6 %

Fractional abundance of isotope 1 = 0.926

Mass of isotope 2 = 6.02 amu

Percentage abundance of isotope 2 = 7.42 %

Fractional abundance of isotope 2 = 0.0742

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Average atomic mass of element}=[(7.02\times 0.926)+(6.02\times 0.0742)]

\text{Average atomic mass of element}=6.95amu

Hence, the average atomic mass of the element is 6.95 amu

He isotope 62(over28ni has the largest binding energy per nucleon of any isotope. calculate this value from the atomic mass of n
irina [24]
The atomic mass of the isotope Ni ( 62 over 28 ) = 61.928345 amu.
Mass of the electrons: 28 · 5.4584 · 10^(-4 ) amu = 0.0152838 amu ( g/mol )
Mass of the nuclei:
61.928345 amu - 0.0152838 amu = 61.913062 amu (g/mol)
The mass difference between a nucleus and its constituent nucleons is called the mass defect.
For Ni ( 62 over 28 ): Mass of the protons: 28 · 1.00728 amu = 28.20384 amu
Mass of the neutrons: 34 · 1.00866 amu = 34.299444 amu
In total : 62.49828 amu
The mass defect = 62.49828 - 61.913062 = 0.585218 amu
Nucleus binding energy:
E = Δm · c² ( the Einstein relationship )
E = 0.585218 · ( 2.9979 · 10^8 m/s )² · 1 / (6.022 · 10^23) · 1 kg / 1000 g =
= 0.585218 · 8.9874044 · 10 ^16 : (6.022 · 10^23) · 0.001 =
= ( 5.2595908 : 6.022 ) · 0.001 · 10^(-7 ) =
= 0.0008733 · 10^(-7) J = 8.733 · 10^(-11) J
The nucleus binding energy per nucleon:
8.733 · 10^(-11) J : 62 =  0.14085 · 10 ^(-11) =
= 1.4085 · 10^(-12) J per nucleon.

For the reaction, identify the Lewis acid and the Lewis base.<br> AlF3 + CH3F → CH3+ + [AlF4]-
Ivanshal [37]
Answer:
            AlF₃ is Lewis Acid

            CH₃F is Lewis Base

Explanation:
                     According to Lewis concept ,"those compounds which donate pair of electrons are called as Lewis Base and those accepting pair of electrons are called as Lewis Acid.

In Given Reaction,
<span>                               AlF</span>₃<span> + CH</span>₃<span>F → CH</span>₃⁺<span> + [AlF</span>₄<span>]</span>⁻

AlF₃ is acting as acid because the octet of Al is not complete, hence it has tendency to accept electrons.

CH₃F is acting as a base because the F atom containing three lone pair of electrons can donate it to Al metal resulting in the formation of electrophile i.e. CH₃⁺.
