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.

Ethyl butyrate, CH3CH2CH2CO2CH2CH3, is an artificial fruit flavor commonly used in the food industry for such flavors as orange
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

A. 10.0 grams of ethyl butyrate would be synthesized.

B. 57.5% was the percent yield.

C. 7.80 grams of ethyl butyrate would be produced from 7.60 g of butanoic acid.

Explanation:

CH_3CH_2CH_2CO_2H(l)+CH_2CH_3OH(l)+H^+\rightarrow CH_3CH_2CH_2CO_2CH_2CH_3(l)+H_2O(l)

A

Moles of butanoic acid = \frac{7.60 g}{88 g/mol}=0.08636 mol

According to reaction ,1 mole of butanoic acid gives 1 mol of ethyl butyrate,then 0.08636 mol of butanoic acid will give :

\frac{1}{1}\times 0.08636 mol=0.08636 mol of ethyl butyrate

Mass of 0.08636 moles of ethyl butyrate =

0.08636 mol × 116 g/mol = 10.0 g

Theoretical yield = 10.0 g

Experimental yield = ?

Percentage yield of the reaction = 100%

Yield\%=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100

100\%=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{10.0 g}\times 100

Experimental yield = 10.0 g

10.0 grams of ethyl butyrate would be synthesized.

B

Theoretical yield of ethyl butyrate  = 10.0 g

Experimental yield ethyl butyrate = 5.75 g

Percentage yield of the reaction = ?

Yield\%=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100

=\frac{5.75 g}{10.0 g}\times 100=57.5\%

57.5% was the percent yield.

C

Moles of butanoic acid = \frac{7.60 g}{88 g/mol}=0.08636 mol

According to reaction ,1 mole of butanoic acid gives 1 mol of ethyl butyrate,then 0.08636 mol of butanoic acid will give :

\frac{1}{1}\times 0.08636 mol=0.08636 mol of ethyl butyrate

Mass of 0.08636 moles of ethyl butyrate =

0.08636 mol × 116 g/mol = 10.0 g

Theoretical yield = 10.0 g

Experimental yield = ?

Percentage yield of the reaction = 78.0%

Yield\%=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100

78.0\%=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{10.0 g}\times 100

Experimental yield = 7.80 g

7.80 grams of ethyl butyrate would be produced from 7.60 g of butanoic acid.

Sonia was experimenting with electric charges. She tied two inflated balloons together, held them next to each other, and rubbed
Sladkaya [172]
Sonia observed that the two balloons repelled each other. This is because both balloons acquired the same charge when she rubbed them with the piece of wool, and like charges repel each other.

Use Boyle's Law to explain what would happen to the volume of a helium- filled balloon if it was carried underwater by a diver t
oksano4ka [1.4K]

The deeper the diver takes the helium balloon, the more it reduces in size. This is due to the pressure of the water column above pressing on the balloon. According to Boyle’s law (P= k*1/V.), as the volume of the balloon decreases, the pressure of the helium inside increases.
