Potassium is isotopic and has RAM of 39.5 work out the percentage abundance of each isotope in a given sample of potassium which

is found to contain 3 isotopes of K-39, K-40 and K-38 with the abundance of K-38 being 0.01%

Yo sup??

Let the percentage of K-39 be x

then the percentage of K-40 is 100-(x+0.01)

We know that the net weight should be 39.5. Therefore we can say

(39*x+40*(100-(x+0.01))+38*0.01)/100=39.5  

(since we are taking it in percent)

39*x+40*(100-(x+0.01))+38*0.01=3950

39x+4000-40x-0.4+0.38=3950

2x=49.98

x=24.99

=25 (approx)

Therefore K-39 is 25% in nature and K-40 is 75% in nature.

Hope this helps.

At 22 °C, an excess amount of a generic metal hydroxide, M(OH)2, is mixed with pure water. The resulting equilibrium solution ha
brilliants [131]

Answer:

2.29x10⁻¹² is Ksp of the salt

Explanation:

The Ksp of the metal hydroxide is:

M(OH)₂(s) ⇄ M²⁺ + 2OH⁻

Ksp = [M²⁺] [OH⁻]²

As you can see in the reaction, 2 moles of OH⁻ are produced per mole of M²⁺. It is possible to find [OH⁻] with pH, thus:

pOH = 14- pH

pOH = 14 - 10.22

pOH = 3.78

pOH = -log[OH⁻]

<em>1.66x10⁻⁴ = [OH⁻]</em>

And [M²⁺] is the half of [OH⁻], <em>[M²⁺] = 8.30x10⁻⁵</em>

<em />

Replacing in Ksp formula:

Ksp = [8.30x10⁻⁵] [1.66x10⁻⁴]²

Ksp = 2.29x10⁻¹² is Ksp of the salt

The number of B2H6 molecules
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

6.022 × 10²³ molecules of B₂H₆

Explanation:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

For example,

18 g of water = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules of water

1.008 g of hydrogen = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms of hydrogen

B₂H₆ molecules:

21.63 g = one mole of B₂H₆= 6.022 × 10²³ molecules of B₂H₆
