Three isotopes of silicon have mass numbers of 28,29, and 30 with an average atomic mass of 28.086 what does this say about the

relative abundances of the isotopes
Chemistry

Sedbober [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer is: silicon isotope with mass number 28 has highest relative abundance, this isotope is the most common of these three isotopes.

Ar₁(Si) = 28; the average atomic mass of isotope ²⁸Si.  

Ar₂(Si) =29; the average atomic mass of isotope ²⁹Si.  

Ar₃(Si) =30; the average atomic mass of isotope ³⁰Si.  

Silicon (Si) is composed of three stable isotopes, ₂₈Si (92.23%), ₂₉Si (4.67%) and ₃₀Si (3.10%).

ω₁(Si) = 92.23%; mass percentage of isotope ²⁸Si.  

ω₂(Si) = 4.67%; mass percentage of isotope ²⁹Si.

ω₃(Si) = 3.10%; mass percentage of isotope ³⁰Si.

Ar(Si) = 28.086 amu; average atomic mass of silicon.  

Ar(Si) = Ar₁(Si) · ω₁(B) + Ar₂(Si) · ω₂(Si)  + Ar₃(Si) · ω₃(Si).  

28,086 = 28 · 0.9223 + 29 · 0.0467 + 30 · 0.031.

Chlorine is a toxic, corrosive, reactive gas. Which representation (structural formula, electron dot structure, or three-dimensi
DanielleElmas [232]

electron dot structure

Explanation:

Chemical reactions are driven by transfer or sharing of electrons between two or more atoms. To show a specie that is reactive, a sound knowledge of the distribution of electrons in the atom is necessary.

  • The electron dot structure shows only chemical symbol of the element surrounded by dots which represents the valence electrons.
  • The chemical symbol represents the nucleus and all electrons except the valence ones.
  • The dots arranged on the four sides are called lone pairs. Those that are unpaired are called odd electrons.
  • Chlorine has 7 valence electrons in its outermost shell.
  • It is made up of 3 lone pairs and 1 odd pair of electron.
  • The odd pair accounts for the reason why chlorine is very reactive.
  • It will only require just one electron to join the odd pair so as to complete the octet and be like the noble gases.

A 0.63 mole sample of CO2 is in a 750 mL container. What is the pressure of the gas in torr when the has is held at -35.6oC?
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

12426torr

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

n = 0.63 mole

V = 750mL = 750/1000 = 0.75L

T = -35.6°C = -35.6 + 273 = 237.4K

R =0.082atm.L/Kmol

P =?

Using the ideal gas equation PV = nRT, the pressure can be obtained as follows:

PV = nRT

P = nRT/V

P = (0.63 x 0.082 x 237.4)/0.75

P = 16.35atm

Now let us convert this pressure (i.e 16.35atm) to a pressure in torr. This is illustrated below:

1atm = 760torr

16.35atm = 16.35 x 760 = 12426torr

Therefore, the pressure of the gas is 12426torr

If 2.06 mL of seawater contains about 0.446 moles of gold, how many atoms of gold are in that volume of seawater?
Alborosie

Answer:

2.69 x 10²³ atoms

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Volume of sea water = 2.06mL

number of moles of gold = 0.446moles

unknown:

Number of atoms in the sea water

Solution:

The mole is a convenient unit of measuring quantities of particles. In a mole we have 6.02 x 10²³particles.

The mole can be defined as the amount of a substance contained in Avogadro's number of particles which is 6.02 x 10²³particles.

Here, the particles we want to determine is the number of atoms:

Number of atoms is given as:

   Number of gold atoms = number of moles of gold x 6.02 x 10²³

  Number of gold atoms = 0.446 x 6.02 x 10²³ = 2.69 x 10²³ atoms

CH4(g) + H2O(g) CO(g) + 3H2(g)
boyakko [2]
Presuming the arrow is between H20 and CO

On the left there are 2 gas moles.
On the right there are 4 gas moles.

The equilibrium will shift to the side with the most no. He gas moles when pressure is decreased.

Therefore the answer is A, since 4>2.
