Answer:

Average atomic mass of uranium= 237.98 amu.

Explanation:

Given data:

Abundance of U²³⁴ = 0.01%

Abundance of U²³⁵ = 0.17%

Abundance of U²³⁸ = 99.28%

Average atomic mass = ?

Solution:

Average atomic mass of uranium = (abundance of 1st isotope × its atomic mass) +(abundance of 2nd isotope × its atomic mass) +(abundance of 3rd isotope × its atomic mass) / 100

Average atomic mass of uranium= (234×0.01)+(235×0.71)+(238×99.28)/100

Average atomic mass of uranium=  2.34 + 166.85 + 23628.64 / 100

Average atomic mass of uranium= 23797.83 / 100

Average atomic mass of uranium= 237.98 amu.

Chlorine has two isotopes, 35Cl and 37Cl that have the respective percent abundance's of 75.77% and 24.23% and masses of 34.9688
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

The answer to your question is  35.4527 g

Explanation:

Data

Cl-35    abundance = 75.77 %    mass Cl-35 = 34.9688

Cl-37     abundance = 24.23 %   mass Cl-37 = 36.9659

Process

1.- Convert the percents to decimals

   75.77% = 75.77/100 = 0.7577

   24.23% = 24.23/100 = 0.2423

2.- Find the atomic weight

    Average atomic weight = Abundance 1 x Mass Cl-35 +

                                               Abundance 2 x Mass Cl-37

Substitution

     Average atomic weight = (0.7577)(34.9688) + (0.2423 x 36.9659)

Simplification

     Average atomic weight = 26.4959 + 8.9568

Result

      Average atomic weight = 35.4527 g

How many liters of H2 are required to form 5 moles of H2O at STP?
valentinak56 [21]

steps...

1) convert mass H2O to moles H2O

2) use coefficients of balanced equation to convert to moles O2

3) convert moles O2 to L O2.

solution...

10.5 g H2O x (1 mole H2O / 18.0 g H2O) = 0.583 moles H2O

from the balanced equation, 1 mole O2 --> 2 moles H2O.. therefore...

0.583 moles H2O x (1 mole O2 / 2 moles H2O) = 0.292 moles O2

from here you can either use the specific form of the ideal gas law for STP...

0.292 moles O2 x (22.4 L O2 / mole O2) = 6.54 L O2

or you can use the more general form of the ideal gas law...

V = nRT/P = (0.292 moles) x (0.0821 Latm/moleK) x (273 K) / (1 atm)

V = 6.54 L O2

Hope this helps!
