Answer:

x = 35.453 amu.  CHLORINE

Explanation:

Abundance of X³⁵ = 75.77%

Abundance of X³⁷ = 24.23%

Atomic mass of X³⁵ = 34.968852 amu

Atomic mass of X³⁷ = 36.965903 amu

Average atomic mass = ?

Solution:

Average atomic mass of carbon = (abundance of 1st isotope × its atomic mass) +(abundance of 2nd isotope × its atomic mass)  / 100

Average atomic mass of carbon = (34.968852 × 75.77)+(36.965903 ×24.23) /100

Average atomic mass of carbon=  2649.59 + 895.684 / 100

Average atomic mass of carbon = 3545.274 / 100

Average atomic mass of carbon = 35.453 amu.

x = 35.453 amu.  CHLORINE

Water’s molar mass is 18.01 g/mol. The molar mass of glycerol is 92.09 g/mol. At 25°C, glycerol is more viscous than water. Whic
amid [387]

Answer:

glycerol because it is more viscous and has a larger molar mass than water.

Explanation:

Viscosity depends on inter-molecular interactions.

The predominant inter-molecular force in water and glycerol is hydrogen bonding.

Hydrogen bond is an electrostatic attraction between two polar groups in which one group has hydrogen atom (H) and another group has highly electronegative atom such as nitrogen (like in this molecule), oxygen (O) or fluorine (F).

The complex [FeSCN]2+ has an absorptivity of 6.14×10−2 L/(mg⋅cm) at a wavelength of 580 nm. The transmittance of a solution samp
klio [65]

Answer:

4.36 ppm

Explanation:

First we convert percent transmittance to absorbance:

  • A = 2 - log(%T)
  • A = 0.268

Then we <u>calculate the concentration of the solution</u>, using <em>Lambert-Beer's equation</em>:

  • A = ε*l*C

It is usually used with molar concentrations but given that the given absortivity is in ppm terms and the answer is also in ppm, we can simply use the given value.

  • 0.268 = 6.14x10⁻²L·ppm⁻¹ * 1.00 cm * C
  • C = 4.36 ppm

If the kinetic and potential energy in a system are equal, then the potential energy increases. What happens as a result?
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer: As a result an increase in kinetic energy also happens.

Explanation:

Potential energy is the energy occupied by an object or substance due to its position.

Kinetic energy is the energy occupied by an object of substance due to its motion.

If the kinetic and potential energy in a system are equal and then an increase in potential energy will occur.

As a  result, there will also occur an increase in kinetic energy also.

Thus, we can conclude that as a result an increase in kinetic energy also happens.
