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%

Which component of a plant makes the cell walls around plant cells tough and allows branches, stems, and leaves to be strong
Vsevolod [243]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Cellulose

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Cellulose is a polysaccharide and the most abundant organic compound on the Earth's surface.
  • <em><u>It  is an important organic molecule due to its strong structure which provides a wide variety of functions. </u></em>
  • <em><u>Cellulose is a major component of tough cell walls that surround plant cells and is what makes plant stems, leaves, and branches very  strong.</u></em>
  • The molecules of cellulose are arranged such that they are parallel to each other joined by hydrogen bond. this arrangement forms long structures that combine with other cellulose molecules producing a strong support structure.

25.0 mL of a hydrofluoric acid solution of unknown concentration is titrated with 0.200 M NaOH. After 20.0 mL of the base soluti
lesantik [10]

Answer:

[HF]₀ = 0.125M

Explanation:

NaOH + HF => NaF + H₂O

Adding 20ml of 0.200M NaOH into 25ml of HF solution neutralizes 0.004 mole of HF leaving 0.004 mole NaF in 0.045L with 0.001M H⁺ at pH = 3.   This is 0.089M NaF and 0.001M HF remaining.

=> 45ml of solution with pH = 3 and contains 0.089M NaF from titration becomes a common ion problem.

                HF  ⇄    H⁺    +      F⁻

C(eq)       [HF]     10⁻³M      0.089M (<= soln after adding 20ml 0.200M NaOH)

Ka = [H⁺][F⁻]/[HF]₀ => [HF]₀ = [H⁺][F⁻]/Ka

[HF]₀ = (0.001)(0.089)/(7.1 x 10⁻⁴) M = 0.125M

Titration of a 20.0-mL sample of acid rain required 1.7 mL of 0.0811 M NaOH to reach the end point. If we assume that the acidit
Rasek [7]

Answer:

Concentration of sulfuric acid in the acid rain sample is 0.0034467 mol/L.

Explanation:

Volume of NaOH = 1.7 ml = 0.0017 L

Molarity of NaOH = 0.0811 M

Moles of NaOH = n

0.0811 M=\frac{n}{0.0017 L}

n = 0.0001378 mol

H_2SO_4+2NaOH\rightarrow Na_2SO_4+2H_2O

According to reaction, 2 mol of NaOH neutralize 1 mol of sulfuric acid.

Then 0.0001378 mol of NaOH will neutralize:

\frac{1}{2}\times 0.0001378 mol=6.8935\times 10^{-5} mol of sulfuric acid.

Concentration of sulfuric acid in the acid rain sample: x

x=\frac{6.8935\times 10^{-5}}{0.02 L}=0.0034467 mol/L

Concentration of sulfuric acid in the acid rain sample is 0.0034467 mol/L.
