<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 many amps are required to produce 75. 8 g of iron metal from a solution of aqueous iron(iii)chloride in 6. 75 hours?
Shalnov [3]

The amount of current required to produce 75. 8 g of iron metal from a solution of aqueous iron (iii)chloride in 6. 75 hours is 168.4A.

The amount of Current required to deposit a metal can be find out by using The Law of Equivalence. It states that the number of gram equivalents of each reactant and product is equal in a given reaction.

It can be found using the formula,

m = Z I t

where, m = mass of metal deposited = 75.8g

            Z = Equivalent mass / 96500 = 18.6 / 96500 = 0.0001

             I is the current passed

              t is the time taken = 75hour = 75 × 60 = 4500s

On subsituting in above formula,

75.8 = E I t / F

⇒ 75.8 = 0.0001 × I × 4500

⇒ I = 168.4 Ampere (A)

Hence, amount of current required to deposit a metal is 168.4A.

This flow chart shows the amount of energy that is emitted by each type of light. ultraviolet &gt; blue light &gt; yellow light
harina [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

In photoelectric effect , radiation of some energy is made to fall on metal plate which results in the ejection of electrons by the metal plate . The kinetic energy of electrons comes from the energy of radiation falling on metal plate . Some of energy of radiation falling on metal plate is used in the process of bringing the  electron to  the surface and it is called threshold energy . The radiation must have at least this energy to see to it that electrons are ejected .  and the rest of the energy of radiation is used in imparting kinetic energy to the  electron .

The red light radiation has least energy so it is least likely to eject electrons from metal plate and produce photoelectric effect .

Why the bond in water molecule os polar covalent bond, while than in chlorine molecule is pure covalent bond? Give reason? ​
erastovalidia [21]

Explanation:

The unequal sharing of electrons between the atoms and the unsymmetrical shape of the molecule means that a water molecule has two poles - a positive charge on the hydrogen pole (side) and a negative charge on the oxygen pole (side). We say that the water molecule is electrically polar.

When is balance achieved between the forward and reverse reactions?
docker41 [41]

Equilibrium occurs when forward and reverse directions of a reversible reaction occur at the same rate so there is no overall change in the amounts of reactants and products.
