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.

consider the titration of hclo4 with koh. what is the ph after 17.0 ml of 0.15 m koh has been added to 15 ml of 0.20 m hclo4?
bezimeni [28]

The ph after 17.0 ml of 0.15 m Koh has been added to 15 ml of 0.20 m hclo4 is  <u>3.347</u>.

Titration is a commonplace laboratory technique of quantitative chemical analysis to determine the attention of an identified analyte. A reagent, termed the titrant or titrator, is ready as a trendy answer of recognized awareness and extent.

<u>Calculation:-</u>

Normality of acid                                               Normality of base

= nMV                                                                        nMV

= 1 × 0. 15 × 0.017                                              1 ×  0. 20 ×0.015 L

= 2.55 × 10⁻³                                                             = 3 × 10⁻³

The overall base will be high

net concentration = 3× 10⁻³ - 2.55 × 10⁻³

                             = 0.45 × 10⁻³

                             = 4.5× 10⁻⁴

pH = -log[4.5 × 10⁻⁴]

    = 4 - log4.4

     = <u>3.347</u>

A titration is defined as 'the manner of determining the amount of a substance A by using adding measured increments of substance B, the titrant, with which it reacts till precise chemical equivalence is completed the equivalence factor.

If the frequency of a wave is 68 hertz then the period of the wave is going to be
tigry1 [53]
The answer is 4.41x10^1 m.

Explanation:

You would use this formula to calculate it
λ = C/f

Where,

λ (Lambda) = Wavelength in meters

c = Speed of Light (299,792,458 m/s)

f = Frequency

So we have the frequency, 68 Hz, and we have the speed of light. Now we put it into the equation and it will look like this:


λ= (299,792,458 m/s) / (68 Hz)

λ= 4.41x10^1
