Answer: The first isotope has a relative abundance of 79% and last isotope has a relative abundance of 11%

Explanation: Given that the average atomic mass(M) of magnesium

= 24.3050amu

Mass of first isotope (M1) = 23.9850amu

Mass of middle isotope (M2)=24.9858amu

Mass of last isotope(M3)= 25.9826amu

Total abundance = 1

Abundance of middle isotope = 0.10

Let abundance of first and last isotope be x and y respectively.

x+0.10+y =1

x = 0.90-y

M = M1 × % abundance of first isotope + M2 × % of middle isotope +M3 ×% of last isotope

24.03050= 23.985× x + 24.9858 ×0.10 + 25.9826×y

Substitute x= 0.90-y

Then

y = 0.11

Since y=0.11, then

x= 0.90-0.11

x=0.79

Therefore the relative abundance of the first isotope = 11% and the relative abundance of the last isotope = 79%

In general, what is the effect of increased temperature on the solubility of a gas?
Alecsey [184]
The physical explanation is that increasing temperature increases the kinetic energy of the gas molecules. Hence, their random motion breaks more intermolecular bonds and the gas is less dissolved in the solvent. In contrast, solid solutes in water have increased solubility with increased temperatures.

How many milliliters of a 1.25 molar hydrochloric acid (HCl) solution would be needed to react completely with 60.0 grams of cal
stich3 [128]

<u>Answer:</u>

2400 mL

<u>Explanation:</u>

Ca + 2HCl \implies CaCl_2 + H_2

According to this equation, the stoichiometric ratio between Ca and HCl for the complete reaction is 1:2.

We know that the number of moles of Ca can be calculated using the mole formula. (<em>number of moles = mass / molar mass</em>)

Moles of Calcium = \frac{60}{40} = 1.5 mol

So the moles of HCl = 1.5 \times 2 = 3.0 mol

<em>Volume of HCl solution = Moles of HCl/ concentration of HCl</em>

Volume of HCl solution = \frac{3}{1.25} = 2400 mL

Ammonia is produced from the reaction of nitrogen and hydrogen according to the following balanced equation:
nignag [31]

Answer:  1) Maximum mass of ammonia  198.57g  

2) The element that would be completely consumed is the N2

3) Mass that would keep unremained, is the one of  the excess Reactant, that means the H2 with 3,44g

Explanation:

  • In order to calculate the Mass of ammonia , we first check the Equation is actually Balance:

N2(g) + 3H2(g) ⟶2NH3(g)

Both equal amount of atoms side to side.

  • Now we verify which reagent is the limiting one by comparing the amount of product formed with each reactant, and the one with the lowest number is the limiting reactant. ( Keep in mind that we use the  molecular weight of 28.01 g/mol N2; 2.02 g/mol H2; 17.03g/mol NH3)

Moles of ammonia produced with 163.3g N2(g) ⟶ 163.3g N2(g) x (1mol N2(g)/ 28.01 g N2(g) )x (2 mol NH3(g) /1 mol N2(g)) = 11.66 mol NH3

Moles of ammonia produced with 38.77 g H2⟶  38.77 g H2 x ( 1mol H2/ 2.02 g H2 ) x (2 mol NH3 /3 mol H2 ) = 12.79 mol NH3

  • As we can see the amount of NH3 formed with the N2 is the lowest one , therefore the limiting reactant is the N2 that means, N2 is the element  that would be completey consumed, and the maximum mass of ammonia will be produced from it.
  • We proceed calculating the maximum mass of NH3 from the 163.3g of N2.

11.66  mol NH3 x (17.03 g NH3 /1mol NH3) = 198.57 g NH3

  • In order to estimate the mass of excess reagent, we start by calculating how much H2 reacts with the giving N2:

163.3g N2 x (1mol N2/28.01 g N2) x ( 3 mol H2 / 1 mol N2)x (2.02 g H2/ 1 mol H2) = 35.33 g H2

That means that only 35.33 g H2 will react with 163.3g N2 however we were giving 38.77g of  H2, thus, 38.77g - 35.33 g = 3.44g H2 is left
