Sodium only has one naturally occuring isotope, 23 Na , with a relative atomic mass of 22.9898 u . A synthetic, radioactive isot

ope of sodium, 22 Na , is used in positron emission tomography. 22 Na has a relative atomic mass of 21.9944 u. A 1.8385 g sample of sodium containing a mixture of 23 Na and 22 Na has an apparent "atomic mass" of 22.9573 u .Find the mass of 22 Na contained in this sample?

Answer:

Mass of 22-Na contained in the sample = 0.0599 g

Explanation:

Mass of the isotope mixture = 1.8385g

Isotope mixture has apparent mass of 22.9573 u

23-Na has a relative atomic mass of 22.9898 u

22-Na has a relative atomic mass of 21.9944 u

Let the relative abundance of 23-Na be X

Then the relative abundance of 22-Na would be (1-X)

21.9944 (1-X) + 22.9898 X = 22.9573

21.9944 - 21.9944X + 22.9898X = 22.9573

22.9898X - 21.9944X = 22.9573 - 21.9944

0.9954X = 0.9639

X = 0.9674

Relative abundance of 23-Na = 0.9674

Relative abundance of 22-Na = 1 - 0.9674 = 0.0326

Mass of 22-Na in the 1.8385g of sample is

Relative abundance of 22-Na × Mass of sample = 0.0326 × 1.8385g = 0.0599 g

You need to produce a buffer solution that has a pH of 5.26. You already have a solution that contains 10. mmol (millimoles) of

Andreas93 [3]

The question is incomplete, complete question is :

You need to produce a buffer solution that has a pH of 5.50. You already have a solution that contains 10 mmol (millimoles) of acetic acid. How many millimoles of acetate (the conjugate base of acetic acid) will you need to add to this solution? The pka of acetic acid is 4.74.

Answer:

33.11 millimoles of acetate we will need to add to this solution.

Explanation:

To calculate the pH of acidic buffer, we use the equation given by Henderson Hasselbalch:

$pH=pK_a+\log(\frac{[salt]}{[acid]})$

Where :

tex]pK_a[/tex] = negative logarithm of acid dissociation constant of acid

[salt] = Concentration of salt

[Acid] = Concentration of salt

We have:

pH = 5.26

$pK_a=4.74$

[salt] = $[CH_3COO^-]$ = ?

[acid] = $[CH_3COOH]=10.0 mmol$

$5.26=4.74+\log(\frac{[CH_3COO^-]}{[10.0 mmol]})$

$[CH_3COO^-]=33.11 mmol$

33.11 millimoles of acetate we will need to add to this solution.

Provide three ways that humans have had a impact on the greenhouse effect on Earth?

galina1969 [7]

Burning of fossil fuels, increase use of vehicles and use of household appliances like refrigerator are the three ways humans have had an impact on the greenhouse effect on Earth

<u> Explanation:</u>

Burning of fossil fuels for industrial purpose cause the emission of greenhouse gases such as Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), Carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide.

The smoke comes from the vehicles contain carbon dioxide which increases the number of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere .

Use of household appliances will also lead to the emission of greenhouses gases mainly, CFCs (Chlorofluorocarbons) .

Increase in the number of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere will lead to climate change.
