Consider the following isotopic abundance data for argon (Ar) and silicon (Si):
pshichka [43]

Answer:

Explanation:

Molar mass of Argon

= 35.96755 x .00337 + 37.96272 x .00063 + 39.96240 x .99600

= .12121 + .0239165 + 39.80255

= 39.95

Molar mass of silicon

27.97693 x .9223 + 28.97649 x .0467 + 29.97376 x .0310

= 25.803 + 1.35320 + .929

= 28.08

b )

No of atoms of Si  in 78.2 g = 78.2 x 6.02 x 10²³ / 28.08

= 16.76 x 10²³ .

c )

42 Ar / 40 Ar = 1.05006

42 Ar / 39.95 = 1.05006

42Ar = 41.95

2 )

C₁₆H₁₅F₂N₃O₄S

Mol weight = 16 x 12 + 1 x 15 + 2 x 19 + 3 x 14 + 4 x 16 + 32

= 192 + 15 + 38 + 42 + 64+ 32

= 383

No of molecules = .078 x 6.02 x 10²³ / 383

= 1.226 x 10²⁰ molecules .

Which of the following is TRUE? a neutral solution does not contain any H3O+ or OH- a neutral solution contains [H2O] = [H3O+] a
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

Options B and C

Explanation:

Let's take a look at the options and get our answer by way of elimination. The basic definition of a neutral solution is given as;

A neutral solution is a substance which is neither acid nor basic . it has a PH of 7. it will have equal amount of H+ AND OH- ions in it.

a) a neutral solution does not contain any H3O+ or OH- This is wrong because take water as an example, it is neutral but contains both ions.

b) a neutral solution contains [H2O] = [H3O+]. This option is correct cause it is in line with the definition above.

c) an acidic solution has [H3O⁺] > [OH⁻]. Acidic solutions are any solution that has a higher concentration of hydrogen ions than water. This option is correct.

d) a basic solution does not contain any H3O⁺. This option is wrong. Basic solutions are any solution that has a higher concentration of hydroxide ions than water. This means they contain H3O⁺ but  [OH⁻] is greater.

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

2n² means 2 × n × n . the power on the n represent the no. of time it is multiplied.

for ex 3x² = 3 × x × x

4x⁴ = 4 × X× X × X× X
