Answer:

109

Explanation:

Let silver-107 be isotope A

Let silver-109 be isotope B

Let silver-107 abundance be A%

Let silver-109 abundance be B%

The following data were obtained from the question:

Atomic weight of silver = 108

Mass of isotope A (silver-107) = 107

Abundance of isotope A (silver-107) = 51.8%

Abundance of isotope B (silver-109) = 48.2%

Mass of isotope B (silver-109) =?

Now, we shall determine the mass silver-109 as follow:

Atomic weight = [(Mass of A x A%)/100] + [(Mass of B x B%)/100]

108 = [(107 x 51.8)/100] + [(Mass of B x 48.2)/100]

108 = 55.426 + (Mass of B x 0.482)

Collect like terms

Mass of B x 0.482 = 108 – 55.426

Mass of B x 0.482 = 52.574

Divide both side by 0.482

Mass of B = 52.574/0.482

Mass of B = 109

Therefore, the mass of silver-109 is 109.

How many grams of water can be produce from the complete reaction of excess nitric acid and 33.2 mL of 0.245 M lithium hydroxide
Mariulka [41]

Mass of water produced : 0.146 g

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

33.2 mL of 0.245 M lithium hydroxide

Required

mass of water

Solution

Reaction

HNO₃ (aq) + LiOH (aq) → H₂O (l) + LiNO₃ (aq)

mol LiOH :

= M x V

= 0.245 x 33.2 ml

= 8.134 mmol

From the equation, the mol ratio of HNO₃ : H₂O = 1 : 1, so mol H₂O = 8.134 mmol

mass H₂O :

= mol x MW

= 8.134 x 10⁻³ mol x 18 g/mol

= 0.146 g
