<u>Answer:</u> The average atomic mass of the element is 283.291 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)

  • <u>For isotope 1:</u>

Mass of isotope 1 = 281.99481 amu

Percentage abundance of isotope 1 = 60.795 %

Fractional abundance of isotope 1 = 0.60795

  • <u>For isotope 2:</u>

Mass of isotope 2 = 283.99570 amu

Percentage abundance of isotope 2 = 22.122 %

Fractional abundance of isotope 2 = 0.22122

  • <u>For isotope 3:</u>

Mass of isotope 3 = 286.99423 amu

Percentage abundance of isotope 3 = [100 - (60.795 + 22.122)] = 17.083 %

Fractional abundance of isotope 1 = 0.17083

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Average atomic mass of element}=[(281.99481\times 0.60795)+(283.99570\times 0.22122)+(286.99423\times 0.17083)]\\\\\text{Average atomic mass of element}=283.291amu

Hence, the average atomic mass of the element is 283.291 amu

How much heat is needed to raise the temperature of 55.0 g sample of water by 65.0 oC.
sveticcg [70]

Answer: 14943.5 J

Explanation:

The quantity of heat energy (Q) required to raise the temperature of a substance depends on its Mass (M), specific heat capacity (C) and change in temperature (Φ)

Thus, Q = MCΦ

Given that,

Q = ?

Mass of water = 55.0g

C = 4.18 J/g°C

Φ = 65.0°C

Then, Q = MCΦ

Q = 55.0g x 4.18 J/g°C x 65.0°C

Q = 14943.5 J

Thus, 14943.5 joules of heat is needed to raise the temperature of water.

Two systems with heat capacities 19.9 J mol-1 K-1 and 28.2 ] mol 1 K-1 respectively interact thermally and come to an equilibriu
MAVERICK [17]

Answer : The initial temperature of system 2 is, 19.415^oC

Explanation :

In this problem we assumed that the total energy of the combined systems remains constant.

-q_1=q_2

m\times c_1\times (T_f-T_1)=-m\times c_2\times (T_f-T_2)

The mass remains same.

where,

C_1 = heat capacity of system 1 = 19.9 J/mole.K

C_2 = heat capacity of system 2 = 28.2 J/mole.K

T_f = final temperature of system = 30^oC=273+30=303K

T_1 = initial temperature of system 1 = 45^oC=273+45=318K

T_2 = initial temperature of system 2 = ?

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get

-19.9J/mole.K\times (303-318)K=28.2J/mole.K\times (303-T_2)K

T_2=292.415K

T_2=292.415-273=19.415^oC

Therefore, the initial temperature of system 2 is, 19.415^oC

Why the bonds between nonmentals tend to be covalent
natita [175]
Ionic bonds form when a nonmetal and a metal exchange electrons, while covalent bonds form when electrons are shared between two nonmetals. An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond formed through an electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions.

On a cool morning (12"C), a balloon is filled with 1.5 L of helium. By mid afternoon, the temperature has soared to 32°C. What i
ddd [48]

Answer:

1.6 L

Explanation:

Using Charle's law  

\frac {V_1}{T_1}=\frac {V_2}{T_2}

Given ,  

V₁ = 1.5 L

V₂ = ?

T₁ = 12 °C

T₂ = 32 °C  

The conversion of T( °C) to T(K) is shown below:

T(K) = T( °C) + 273.15  

So,  

T₁ = (12 + 273.15) K = 285.15 K  

T₂ = (32 + 273.15) K = 305.15 K  

Using above equation as:

\frac{1.5}{285.15}=\frac{V_2}{305.15}

V_2=\frac{1.5\cdot \:305.15}{285.15}

New volume = 1.6 L
