Calculate the average atomic mass of argon to two decimal places, given the following relative atomic masses and abundances of e

ach of the isotopes: argon-36 (35.97 u; 0.337%), argon-38 (37.96 u; 0.063%), and argon-40 (39.96 u; 99.600%)

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>

A can contains a gas with a volume of 86 mL at 30oC. What is the volume in the can if it is heated to 65oC?
Ber [7]

Answer:

New volume of gas = 95.93 ml (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Old volume of gas = 86 ml

Old temperature = 30°C = 30 + 273 = 303 K

New temperature = 65°C = 65 + 273 = 338 K

Find:

New volume of gas

Computation:

V1T2 = V2T1

(86)(338) = (V2)(303)

New volume of gas = 95.93 ml (Approx)

OleMash [197]

Answer:

ΔH = - 44.0kJ

Explanation:

H2O(l)→H2O(g), ΔH =44.0kJ

In the reaction above, liquid water changes to gaseous water. This occurs through a process known as boiling. This process requires heat, hence the ΔH  is positive.

If he reaction is reversed, we have;

H2O(g)→H2O(l)

In this reaction, gaseous water changes to liquid water. This process is known as condensation. The water vapor loses heat in this reaction. Hence ΔH would be negative but still  have the same value.
