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.

For the skeletal chemical equation BF3(g) + NaH(s) → B2H6(g) + NaF(s) what is the coefficient of B2H6 in the balanced equation?
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

Coefficient in front of the B_2H_6  in the balanced equation - 1

Explanation:

The unbalanced Chemical equation is shown below as:-

BF_3+NaH\rightarrow B_2H_6+NaF

On the left hand side,  

There are 1 boron atom and 3 fluorine atoms and 1 sodium and hydrogen atoms.

On the right hand side,  

There are 2 boron atoms and 6 hydrogen atoms and 1 sodium and fluorine atoms.

Thus,  

leftside, BF_3 must be multiplied by 2 to balance boron and right side, NaF must be multiplied by 6 to balance fluorine. Left side, NaH must be multiplied by 6 to balance sodium and hydrogen atoms.

Thus, the balanced reaction is:-

2BF_3+6NaH\rightarrow B_2H_6+6NaF

<u>Coefficient in front of the B_2H_6  in the balanced equation - 1</u>

Answer:

1. First one is true : as per periodic table down the group , the elements has increasing order of shell & with that the London dispersion forces brings the inter-molecules close together and bromine converted into liquid .

2. second one is False  because carbon-carbon bonds are not weak bonds they form mutual covalent bonds which are stronger bonds and cannot be easily disrupted .

3. A single carbon atom has the valency of 4 so it can be bonded with four hydrogen atom at the same time .

CH, +<br> ,<br> 0, → _CO, +<br> Н,0<br> Balance chemical equation
Flura [38]

Answer:

2 CH2 + 3 O2 = 2 CO2 + 2 H2O

Explanation:

This is what I think that you meant by the question listed. When balancing a chemical equation, you want to make sure that there are equal amounts of each element on each side.

Originally, the equation's elements looked like this: 1 C on left & 1 C on right; 2 H on left & 2 H on right; 2 O on left and 3 O on right. Because these are not balanced, you need to add coefficients.

When adding coefficients, you need to make sure that all of the elements stay balanced, not just one that you are trying to fix. I know that some equations are really difficult to balance, and when that is the case, there are equation balancing websites that can help out.

However, what always helps me is making a chart and continuing to keep up with the changes I am making. It is a trial and error process.

Which of the following is most likely to produce data that are not precise
IrinaK [193]
Precision is obtained by getting values that are very close together. If you mess around with the protocol, you'll end up with crazy values that probably are neither accurate or precise.
