1) You need to use the atomic mass of copper.


You can find it in a periodic table. It is 63.546 amu.


2) The atomic mass is the weigthed mass of the different isotopes.


This is, the atomic mass of one element is the atomic mass of each isotope times its corresponding abundance:


=> atomic mass of the element = abundance isotope 1 * atomic mass isotope 1 + abundance isotope 2 *  atomic mass isotope 2 + ....+abundance isotope n * atomic mass isotope n.


3) The statement tells there are two isotopes so the abundance of one is x and the abundance of the other is 1 - x


=> 63.546 amu = x * 62.9296 amu + (1-x)*64.9278


=> 63.546 = 62.9296x + 64.9278 - 64.9278x


=> 64.9278x - 62.9296 = 64.9278 - 63.546


=> 1.9982x = 1.3818


=> x = 1.3818 / 1.9982 = 0.6915 = 69.15%


=> 1 - x = 1 - 0.6915 = 0.3085 = 30.85%


Answer:


Cu-63 69.15%;


Cu-65 : 30.85%

At 500K, the equilibrium constant for the reaction N2O4D2NO2 is 1.5 x 10^3. What is the equilibrium constant for the reaction: 6
Veronika [31]

Answer:

K = 2.96x10⁻¹⁰

Explanation:

Based on the initial reaction:

N2O4 ⇄ 2NO2; K = 1.5x10³

Using Hess's law, we can multiply this reaction changing K:

3 times this reaction:

3N2O4 ⇄ 6NO2; K = (1.5x10³)³ =3.375x10⁹

The inverse reaction has a K of:

6NO2 ⇄ 3N2O4 K = 1/3.375x10⁹;

<h3>K = 2.96x10⁻¹⁰</h3>
