<u>Answer:</u> The average atomic mass of element Zinc is 65.40 amu.  

<u>Explanation:</u>

Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.

Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:

\text{Average atomic mass }=\sum_{i=1}^n\text{(Atomic mass of an isotopes)}_i\times \text{(Fractional abundance})_i .....(1)

  • <u>For _{30}^{64}\textrm{Zn} isotope:</u>

Mass of _{30}^{64}\textrm{Zn} isotope = 63.929 amu

Percentage abundance of _{30}^{64}\textrm{Zn} isotope = 48.63 %

Fractional abundance of _{30}^{64}\textrm{Zn} isotope = 0.4863

  • <u>For _{30}^{66}\textrm{Zn} isotope:</u>

Mass of _{30}^{66}\textrm{Zn} isotope = 65.926 amu

Percentage abundance of _{30}^{66}\textrm{Zn} isotope = 27.90 %

Fractional abundance of _{30}^{66}\textrm{Zn} isotope = 0.2790

  • <u>For _{30}^{67}\textrm{Zn} isotope:</u>

Mass of _{30}^{67}\textrm{Zn} isotope = 66.927 amu

Percentage abundance of _{30}^{67}\textrm{Zn} isotope = 4.10 %

Fractional abundance of _{30}^{67}\textrm{Zn} isotope = 0.0410

  • <u>For _{30}^{68}\textrm{Zn} isotope:</u>

Mass of _{30}^{68}\textrm{Zn} isotope = 67.925 amu

Percentage abundance of _{30}^{68}\textrm{Zn} isotope = 18.75 %

Fractional abundance of _{30}^{68}\textrm{Zn} isotope = 0.1875

  • <u>For _{30}^{70}\textrm{Zn} isotope:</u>

Mass of _{30}^{70}\textrm{Zn} isotope = 69.925 amu

Percentage abundance of _{30}^{70}\textrm{Zn} isotope = 0.62 %

Fractional abundance of _{30}^{70}\textrm{Zn} isotope = 0.0062

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Average atomic mass of Zinc}=[(63.929\times 0.4863)+(65.926\times 0.2790)+(66.927\times 0.0410)+(67.925\times 0.1875)+(69.925\times 0.0062)]

\text{Average atomic mass of Zinc}=65.40amu

Hence, the average atomic mass of element Zinc is 65.40 amu.

How would you separate a mixture of 4-tert-butylphenol and 2- chlorobenzoic acid? Explain the detailed steps including the choic
Sergeu [11.5K]

The a mixture of 4-tert-butylphenol and 2- chlorobenzoic acid is separate by the by using  bicarbonate solvent.

When solution of bicarbonate is added in mixture of 4-tert-butylphenol and 2- chlorobenzoic acid then 2- chlorobenzoic acid form a carboxylate ion whereas 4-tert-butylphenol  is underacted and filtered out.

Since, only 2- chlorobenzoic acid which is acid is convert into its conjugate base by solution of bicarbonate in mixture of 4-tert-butylphenol and 2- chlorobenzoic acid .

However, phenol is less acidic than carboxylic acid. Both phenol and carboxylic acid is soluble in organic solvent . At that point as the phenol isolates as an oil, one needs to cool the blend in an ice shower to encourage crystallization

20cm of 0.09M solution of H2SO4. requires 30cm of NaOH for complete neutralization. Calculate the
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

Choice A: approximately 0.12\; \rm M.

Explanation:

Note that the unit of concentration, \rm M, typically refers to moles per liter (that is: 1\; \rm M = 1\; \rm mol\cdot L^{-1}.)

On the other hand, the volume of the two solutions in this question are apparently given in \rm cm^3, which is the same as \rm mL (that is: 1\; \rm cm^{3} = 1\; \rm mL.) Convert the unit of volume to liters:

  • V(\mathrm{H_2SO_4}) = 20\; \rm cm^{3} = 20 \times 10^{-3}\; \rm L = 0.02\; \rm L.
  • V(\mathrm{NaOH}) = 30\; \rm cm^{3} = 30 \times 10^{-3}\; \rm L = 0.03\; \rm L.

Calculate the number of moles of \rm H_2SO_4 formula units in that 0.02\; \rm L of the 0.09\; \rm M solution:

\begin{aligned}n(\mathrm{H_2SO_4}) &= c(\mathrm{H_2SO_4}) \cdot V(\mathrm{H_2SO_4})\\ &= 0.02 \; \rm L \times 0.09 \; \rm mol\cdot L^{-1} = 0.0018\; \rm mol \end{aligned}.

Note that \rm H_2SO_4 (sulfuric acid) is a diprotic acid. When one mole of \rm H_2SO_4 completely dissolves in water, two moles of \rm H^{+} ions will be released.

On the other hand, \rm NaOH (sodium hydroxide) is a monoprotic base. When one mole of \rm NaOH formula units completely dissolve in water, only one mole of \rm OH^{-} ions will be released.

\rm H^{+} ions and \rm OH^{-} ions neutralize each other at a one-to-one ratio. Therefore, when one mole of the diprotic acid \rm H_2SO_4 dissolves in water completely, it will take two moles of \rm OH^{-} to neutralize that two moles of \rm H^{+} produced. On the other hand, two moles formula units of the monoprotic base \rm NaOH will be required to produce that two moles of \rm OH^{-}. Therefore, \rm NaOH and \rm H_2SO_4 formula units would neutralize each other at a two-to-one ratio.

\rm H_2SO_4 + 2\; NaOH \to Na_2SO_4 + 2\; H_2O.

\displaystyle \frac{n(\mathrm{NaOH})}{n(\mathrm{H_2SO_4})} = \frac{2}{1} = 2.

Previous calculations show that 0.0018\; \rm mol of \rm H_2SO_4 was produced. Calculate the number of moles of \rm NaOH formula units required to neutralize that

\begin{aligned}n(\mathrm{NaOH}) &= \frac{n(\mathrm{NaOH})}{n(\mathrm{H_2SO_4})}\cdot n(\mathrm{H_2SO_4}) \\&= 2 \times 0.0018\; \rm mol = 0.0036\; \rm mol\end{aligned}.

Calculate the concentration of a 0.03\; \rm L solution that contains exactly 0.0036\; \rm mol of \rm NaOH formula units:

\begin{aligned}c(\mathrm{NaOH}) &= \frac{n(\mathrm{NaOH})}{V(\mathrm{NaOH})} = \frac{0.0036\; \rm mol}{0.03\; \rm L} = 0.12\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1}\end{aligned}.

Which type of property can be observed only by changing a substance into a different substance
Nana76 [90]

Chemical Property

<u>Explanation:</u>

When a substance is changed into another substance, may be due to addition of some other substance or removal of water from that substance.

* its identity changes

*its reactivity changes

*reactivity towards water, air and many other substances will change

*its chemical composition changes

and all these changes occurs due to the chemical properties.

If the physical property changes then there will be change in the state of matter, but its boiling point, melting point , reactivity towards water, air and other substances will not change, and it will not lose its identity.
