Answer:

39.95 u

Explanation:

The formula for the calculation of the average atomic mass is:

Average\ atomic\ mass=(\frac {\%\ of\ the\ first\ isotope}{100}\times {Mass\ of\ the\ first\ isotope})+(\frac {\%\ of\ the\ second\ isotope}{100}\times {Mass\ of\ the\ second\ isotope})+(\frac {\%\ of\ the\ third\ isotope}{100}\times {Mass\ of\ the\ third\ isotope})

Given that:

<u>For first isotope, Argon-36: </u>

% = 0.337 %

Mass = 35.97 u

<u>For second isotope, Argon-38: </u>

% = 0.063 %

Mass = 37.96 u

<u>For third isotope, Argon-40: </u>

% = 99.600 %

Mass = 39.96 u

Thus,  

Average\ atomic\ mass=\frac{0.337}{100}\times {35.97}+\frac{0.063}{100}\times {37.96}+\frac{99.600}{100}\times {39.96}=0.1212189+0.0239148+39.80016=39.9452937

<u>Average atomic mass = 39.95 u</u>

How do I find the rate of reaction on a graph
Nonamiya [84]

Rate of reaction can be understood as the rate of change of the materials, such as the rate of depletion of the reactants or the rate of production of products.  Therefore, if a graph of concentration and time is plotted, the rate of reaction is simply the slope of the graph.

At 570. mm Hg and 25°C, a gas sample ne (in mm Hg) at a volume of 1250 mL and a temperature of 175°C and 25°C, a gas sample has
maw [93]

Answer:

final pressure ( P2) = 467.37 mm Hg

Explanation:

ideal gas:

  • PV = nRT

∴ P1 = 570 mm Hg * ( atm / 760 mm Hg ) = 0.75 atm

∴ T1 = 25 ° C = 298 K

∴ V1 = 1.250 L

∴ R = 0.082 atm L / K mol

⇒ n = P1*V1 / R*T1

⇒ n = (( 0.75 ) * ( 1.25 )) / (( 0.082 ) * ( 298 ))

⇒ n = 0.038 mol gas

∴ T2 = 175 °C ( 448 K )

∴ V2 = 2.270 L

⇒ P2 = nRT2 / V2

⇒ P2 = (( 0.038 ) * ( 0.082 ) * ( 448 )) / 2.270

⇒ P2 = 0.615 atm * ( 760 mm Hg / atm ) = 467.37 mm Hg

Which of the following statements is true?
Lera25 [3.4K]

The  statement  which is true is

metals  lose  electrons  to become cations

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

  • metals tends  to loss electrons to attain  noble gas  electrons  configuration.
  • When metal loses electrons they form a  positive charged ions.
  • The positively charged ion is known as  cations.
  • for  example  sodium metal (Na)  loses  1 electron to form   a cation with  a charge  of positive 1 ( Na^+)
