To calculate atomic mass, you have to take to weighted average of the isotopes' masses. What that means is M = RA*106 + (1 – RA)*104, where RA is relative abundance expressed in decimal form. If you simplify the right side of that equation, you get M = 2*RA + 104. Doing a little more algebra yields RA = (M –104)/2 = (104.4 – 104)/2 = 0.4 / 2 = 0.2, which is 20%. So the answer is B.
Answer:
The bronsted- Lowry acid is H₂PO₄⁻
Explanation:
Bronsted-Lowry acid donates a proton (H⁺)
H₂PO₄⁻ + OH⁻ → HPO₄²⁻ + H₂O
In the reaction above, H₂PO₄⁻ is donating the proton to OH⁻ resulting in H₂O and the deprotonated species. This makes it a bronsted-Lowry acid.
Answer:
Here's what I get
Explanation:
1. Complete structural formula
Methylpropane consists of a chain of three carbons with another carbon atom attached to the middle carbon. Enough H atoms are added to give each C atom a total of four bonds.
The complete structural formula is shown below (There is a C atom at each intersection).
2. Condensed structural formula
A condensed structural formula is designed to be typed on one line.
The molecule has three CH₃ groups attached to a single carbon atom, so the condensed structural formula is
(CH₃)₃CH
The formula is also often written CH₃CH(CH₃)CH₃ and as (CH₃)₂CHCH₃.
Answer:
.
Explanation:
Electrons are conserved in a chemical equation.
The superscript of
indicates that each of these ions carries a charge of
. That corresponds to the shortage of one electron for each
ion.
Similarly, the superscript
on each
ion indicates a shortage of three electrons per such ion.
Assume that the coefficient of
(among the reactants) is
, and that the coefficient of
(among the reactants) is
.
.
There would thus be
silver (
) atoms and
aluminum (
) atoms on either side of the equation. Hence, the coefficient for
and
would be
and
, respectively.
.
The
ions on the left-hand side of the equation would correspond to the shortage of
electrons. On the other hand, the
ions on the right-hand side of this equation would correspond to the shortage of
electrons.
Just like atoms, electrons are also conserved in a chemical reaction. Therefore, if the left-hand side has a shortage of
electrons, the right-hand side should also be
electrons short of being neutral. On the other hand, it is already shown that the right-hand side would have a shortage of
electrons. These two expressions should have the same value. Therefore,
.
The smallest integer
and
that could satisfy this relation are
and
. The equation becomes:
.
