Answer:

29Si has a natural abundance of 4.68%.

30Si has a relative atomic mass of 29.99288 and a natural abundance of 3.09%.

Explanation:

The atomic mass of silicon is given by:

Si=Si²⁸×A₁+Si²⁹×A₂+Si³⁰×A₃

Where:

Si: atomic mass of silicon (28.086)

Si²⁸: relative atomic mass of 28Si (27.97693)

A₁: natural abundance of 28Si (92.23%)

Si²⁹: relative atomic mass of 29Si (28.97649)

A₂: natural abundance of 29Si

Si³⁰: relative atomic mass of 30Si

A₃: natural abundance of 30Si

We also know that 30Si natural abundance is in the ratio of 0.6592 to that of 29Si.

We have to set up a system of three equations in three unknowns:

Si=Si²⁸×A₁+Si²⁹×A₂+Si³⁰×A₃

A₃=0.6592×A₂

A₁+A₂+A₃=1

First, we find substitute the value of A₃ in the third equation and solv teh value of A₂:

A₁+A₂+0.6592×A₂=1

A₁+1.6592×A₂=1

1.6592×A₂=1-A₁

A₂=\frac{1-A₁}{1.6592}=\frac{1-0.9223}{1.6592}=0.0468

Then, we find the value of A₃:

A₃=0.6592×A₂

A₃=0.6592×0.0468=0.0309

Finally, we find the value of Si³⁰ in the first equation:

Si=Si²⁸×A₁+Si²⁹×A₂+Si³⁰×A₃

28.086=27.97693×0.9223+28.97649×0.0468+Si³⁰×0.0309

28.086=27.15922+Si³⁰×0.0309

28.086-27.15922=Si³⁰×0.0309

\frac{0.92678}{0.0309}=Si³⁰

Si³⁰=29.99288

An amino acid is usually more soluble in aqueous solvent at pH extremes than it is at a pH near the isolelectric point of the am
gogolik [260]

Answer:

Option B. At pH extremes, the amino acid molecules mostly carry a net charge, thus increasing their solubility in polar solvent.

C. At very low or very high pH, the amino acid molecules have increased charge, thus form more salt bonds with water solvent molecules.

dsp73

Answer: An insulator would be made out of material unable to conduct electricity due to lack of fluid movement for electrons, such as rubber. Rubber properties not only prevents them from freely moving, but also helps electrons stay tightly bound to each other.

Hope this helps ^_^

Consider the following reaction at constant P. Use the information here to determine the value of ΔSsurr at 355 K. Predict whet
Sloan [31]

The given reaction is as follows:

2NO (g) + O₂ (g) = 2NO₂ (g), ΔH = -114 kJ

It is known that dSsurr = -dHsys / T (Temp = 355 K)

So,  dSsurr = - (-114 × 1000) / 355

dSsurr = +321.12 J/K

Hence, the value of dSsurr is +321.12 J/K

For a reaction to be spontaneous, dG<0,

Also dStotal = dSsys + dSsurr > 0

It is known that dG = dHsys - TdSsys,

Now let us assume,

dG<0

Also, dStotal = dSsys + dSsurr > 0

(-114 × 1000) - (355 × dSsys) <0

355 × dSsys > -114 × 1000

dSsys > -321

dSsys >dSsurr

dSsys + dSsurr > 0

dStotal > 0

Thus, the assumption is correct, and the given reaction is spontaneous. Hence, the final answer is Ssurr = +321 J/K reaction is spontaneous.
