Paladinen [302]3 years ago

Answer: 20.2

Explanation:

Mass of isotope 1 = 20

% abundance of isotope 1 = 90.5% = \frac{90.5}{100}=0.905

Mass of isotope 2 = 22

% abundance of isotope 2 = 8.0% = \frac{8}{100}=0.08

Mass of isotope 3 = 23

% abundance of isotope 3 = 1.5% = \frac{1.5}{100}=0.015

Formula used for average atomic mass of an element :

\text{ Average atomic mass of an element}=\sum(\text{atomic mass of an isotopes}\times {{\text { fractional abundance}})

A=\sum[(20\times 0.905+(22\times 0.08)+(23\times 0.015]

A=20.2

Therefore, the average atomic mass of the element is 20.2.

Which energy transformation occurs in an<br> electric motor?
vivado [14]

Answer:

Electrical energy to mechanical energy

Explanation:

In an electric motor, the energy transformation that is involve is a move from from electrical energy to mechanical energy.

For every system, according to the law of conservation of energy "energy is neither created nor destroyed but transformed from one form to another".

  • An electric motor converts electrical energy to mechanical energy
  • The electrical energy passes through and electromagnet set up.
  • This then cause the motion to rotate.
  • Therefore, electrical energy is transformed to mechanical energy.

The 85.2-g sample of the compound x4o10 contains 48.0 g of oxygen atoms. what is the molar mass of element x?
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
X4O10
Let molar mass of X be y
molar mass =  4y + 10 x 16 = 4y+160

so, moles = 85.2 / (4y+160)

Moles of oxygen = 10 x [85.2 / (4y+160) ]
Mass of oxygen  = 16 x 10 x [85.2 / (4y+160) ]
which is 48.0

so, 48 = 16 x 10 x [85.2 / (4y+160) ]

Solve the equation to get y.

y = 31

Zinc reacts with hydrochloric acid according to the reaction equation Zn ( s ) + 2 HCl ( aq ) ⟶ ZnCl 2 ( aq ) + H 2 ( g ) How ma
REY [17]

Answer:

34.7mL

Explanation:

First we have to convert our grams of Zinc to moles of zinc so we can relate that number to our chemical equation.

So: 6.25g Zn x (1 mol / 65.39 g) = 0.0956 mol Zn

All that was done above was multiplying the grams of zinc by the reciprocal of zincs molar mass so our units would cancel and leave us with moles of zinc.

So now we need to go to HCl!

To do that we multiply by the molar coefficients in the chemical equation:

\frac{0.0956g Zn}{1 } (\frac{2 mol HCl}{1molZn})

This leaves us with 2(0.0956) = 0.1912 mol HCl

Now we use the relationship M= moles / volume , to calculate our volume

Rearranging we get that V = moles / M

Now we plug in: V = 0.1912 mol HCl / 5.50 M HCl

V= 0.0347 L

To change this to milliliters we multiply by 1000 so:

34.7 mL
