Answer:

The mass of heavier isotope is 345.6 amu.

Explanation:

Given data:

atomic wight of compound = 342.38 amu

lighter isotope mass = 340.91 amu

abundance of lighter isotope = 68.322%

mass of heavier isotope = ?

Solution:

average atomic mass = ( % age abundance of lighter isotope × its atomic mass) + (% age abundance of heavier isotope × its atomic mass)  / 100

percentage of heavier isotope = 100- 68.322 = 31.678

Now we will put the values in formula.

342.38  = (68.322× 340.91) + (31.678 × X) / 100

342.38 = 23291.65302 +  (31.678 × X) / 100

342.38 × 100 = 23291.65302 +  (31.678 × X)

34238 -23291.65302 =  (31.678 × X)

10946.35 / 31.678 = X

345.6 = X

The mass of heavier isotope is 345.6 amu.

Which of the following solutes will lower the freezing point of water the most? NaCl, CaCl2!or AlBr3
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
This uses the concept of freezing point depression. When faced with this issue, we use the following equation:
ΔT = i·Kf·m
which translates in english to:
Change in freezing point = vant hoff factor * molal freezing point depression constant * molality of solution
Because the freezing point depression is a colligative property, it does not depend on the identity of the molecules, just the number of them.
Now, we know that molality will be constant, and Kf will be constant, so our only unknown is "i", or the van't hoff factor.
The van't hoff factor is the number of atoms that dissociate from each individual molecule. The higher the van't hoff factor, the more depressed the freezing point will be.
NaCl will dissociate into Na+ and Cl-, so it has i = 2
CaCl2 will dissociate into Ca2+ and 2 Cl-, so it has i = 3
AlBr3 will dissociate into Al3+ and 3 Br-, so it has i = 4
Therefore, AlBr3 will lower the freezing point of water the most.

If you have 6.25g of O2, how many moles of H2O are produced?
denis23 [38]

Answer:

0.4 moles of water produced by 6.25 g of oxygen.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of oxygen = 6.25 g

Moles of water produced = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation;

2H₂ + O₂  → 2H₂O

Number of moles of oxygen:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 6.35 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.2 mol

Now we will compare the moles of oxygen with water:

                    O₂          :          H₂O

                     1            :            2

                   0.2          :        2×0.2 = 0.4 mol

0.4 moles of water produced by 6.25 g of oxygen.
