In the chemical closet, you found an unlabeled vial with a solid piece of an unknown element inside (element Z) You decided to p

ut it in the mass-spec to figure out its atomic mass. The results showed that it has two naturally occurring isotopes, Z-85, and Z-87. Z-85 has a natural abundance of 72.17% and a mass of 84 912 amu Z-87 has a natural abundance of 27 83% and a mass of 86 909 amu. Calculate the average atomic mass and determine the identity of mystery element Z

Answer:

85.4678

It is Rubidium

Explanation:

A natural abundance of 72.17% and a mass of 84 912 amu

A natural abundance of 27 83% and a mass of 86 909 amu.

Average atomic mass

= 84.912 x .7217 + 86.909 x .2783

= 61.28099+24.18677

= 85.46776

=85.4678

It is Rubidium .

Calculate the percentage by mass of the indicated element in the following compounds. Hydrogen in ascorbic acid, HC6H7O6, also k
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer: The mass percent of hydrogen in ascorbic acid is 4.5 %

Explanation:

In C_6H_8O_6, there are 6 carbon atoms, 8 hydrogen atoms and 6 oxygen atoms.

To calculate the mass percent of element in a given compound, we use the formula:

\text{Mass percent of hydrogen}=\frac{\text{Mass of hydrogen}}{\text{Molar mass of ascorbic acid}}\times 100

Mass of hydrogen = 8\times 1g/mol=8g

Molar Mass of ascorbic acid =6\times 12g/mol+8\times 1g/mol+6\times 16g/mol=176g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Mass percent of hydrogen}=\frac{8g}{176}\times 100=4.5\%

Hence, the mass percent of of hydrogen in ascorbic acid is 4.5 %.

5 H2O2(aq) + 2 MnO4-(aq) + 6 H+(aq) → 2 Mn2+(aq) + 8 H2O(l) + 5 O2(g) In a titration experiment, H2O2(aq) reacts with aqueous Mn
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

Oxygen in hydrogen peroxide oxidizes from -1 to 0.

Explanation:

Oxidation is the loss of electrons. The specie which is oxidized has has elevation in its oxidation state as compared in the reactant and the products.

The given reaction is shown below as:

5 H_2O_2_{(aq)} + 2 MnO_4^-_{(aq)} + 6 H^+_{(aq)}\rightarrow 2 Mn^{2+}_{(aq)} + 8 H_2O_{(l)} + 5 O_2_{(g)}

Manganese in MnO_4^- has oxidation state of +7

Manganese in Mn^{2+} has an oxidation state of +2

It reduces from +7 to +2

Oxygen in hydrogen peroxide has an oxidation state of -1.

Oxygen in molecular oxygen has an oxidation of 0.

Thus, oxygen in hydrogen peroxide oxidizes from -1 to 0.

An oily liquid with a cheesy, waxy odor like that of goats or other barnyard animals is caproic acid, a compound containing carb
Zinaida [17]

The empirical formula for the caproic acid, given the combustion analysis data is C₃H₆O

We'll begin bey obtaining the mass of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in the compound. This is illustrated below:

How to determine the mass of C

  • Mass of CO₂ = 9.78 g
  • Molar mass of CO₂ = 44 g/mol
  • Molar of C = 12 g/mol
  • Mass of C =?

Mass of C = (12 / 44) × 9.78

Mass of C = 2.67 g

How to determine the mass of H

  • Mass of H₂O = 20.99 g
  • Molar mass of H₂O = 18 g/mol
  • Molar of H = 2 × 1 = 2 g/mol
  • Mass of H =?

Mass of H = (2 / 18) × 4

Mass of H = 0.44 g

How to determine the mass of O

  • Mass of compound = 4.30 g
  • Mass of C = 2.67 g
  • Mass of H = 0.44 g
  • Mass of O =?

Mass of O = (mass of compound) – (mass of C + mass of H)

Mass of O = 4.30 – (2.67 + 0.44)

Mass of O = 1.19 g

<h3>How to determine the empirical formula </h3>

The empirical formula of the compound can be obtained as follow:

  • C = 2.67 g
  • H = 0.44 g
  • O = 1.19 g
  • Empirical formula =?

Divide by their molar mass

C = 2.67 / 12 = 0.2225

H = 0.44 / 1 = 0.44

O = 1.19 / 16 = 0.074

Divide by the smallest

C = 0.2225 / 0.074 = 3

H = 0.44 / 0.0744 = 6

O = 0.074 / 0.074 = 1

Thus, the empirical formula of the compound is C₃H₆O
