There are three stable isotopes of magnesium. Their masses are 23.9850, 24.9858, and 25.9826 u. If the average atomic mass of ma

gnesium is 24.3050 u and the natural abundance of the lightest isotope is 78.99%, what are the natural abundances of the other two isotopes?

Answer:

²⁵ Mg = 10.00%

²⁶ Mg = 11.0%

Explanation:

Given that:

Magnesium ²⁴Mg has an abundance of 78.99%

Hence, (100 - 78.99)% = 21.01%

21.01% is the abundance of ²⁵ Mg and ²⁶ Mg

Suppose,

²⁵ Mg = x

²⁶ Mg = (21.01 - x)%

Then;

avg. atomic mass = \dfrac{78.99}{100 }(23.9850)+\dfrac{x}{100}(24.9858) +\dfrac{21.01-x}{100}(25.9826)

where the avg. atomic mass = 24.3050

∴

24.3050 \times 100 = {78.99}(23.9850)+\dfrac{x}{100}(24.9858) +\dfrac{21.01-x}{100}(25.9826)

2430.5 = 2440.46915 -0.9968 x

0.9968x = 2440.46915 - 2430.5

0.9968x = 9.96915

x  =  9.96915/0.9968

x  =  10.00%

∴ Recall that:

²⁵ Mg = x

²⁶ Mg = (21.01 - x)%

²⁵ Mg = 10.00%

²⁶ Mg = (21.01 - 10.00)%

²⁶ Mg = 11.0%

Which of these is the BEST way to manage a natural resource?
Solnce55 [7]

The answer is C.

This can be concluded by looking at the other answers and eliminating them one-by-one.

Managing (Or conserving) a natural resource means to sustain it and use it as efficiently as possible.

With this in mind, we can look and eliminate certain answers.

A is incorrect because driving a car uses gas, a natural resource. By using as much gas as possible, the resource would be wasted instead of conserved.

B is incorrect because water is a natural resource. Once again, by using this, it's wasted where it could be conserved.

C is correct because planting trees would conserve the resource; by consistently planting trees where they're cut, the chances of running out of wood decrease.

D is incorrect because both the water and the creatures that live inside it are natural resources. By dumping toxic waste, these resources are wasted where it could be conserved.

Hope this helped you! :)

What mass of water should be added to 22.0 g of KCl to make a 5.50 % by mass solution?
Naddik [55]

383.5 grams is the mass of water should be added to 22.0 g of KCl to make a 5.50 % by mass solution.

Explanation:

Given that:

Solution to be prepared is 5.5 %

mass of KCl is 22 gram

mass of water required =?

5.5 % solution means that

5.5 grams in 100 ml or gram of water to make solution.

let the water required is 5.5 + x, so the equation will be

5.5 =\frac{22}{22+x} x 100

121+ 5.5x = 2200

5.5 x = 2200-121

     x = \frac{2079}{5.5}

    x = 378 grams

The mass of water added to KCl to make it 5.5% percent solution is

5.5 +378

= 383.5 grams.

to make the solution of 5.5 percent of KCl weighing 22 grams.

what is the limiting reactant when 1.50g of lithium and 1.50 g of nitrogen combine to form lithium nitride, a component of advan
PSYCHO15rus [73]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

Limiting reactant is Lithium

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>We are given;</u>

  1. Mass of Lithium as 1.50 g
  2. Mass of nitrogen is 1.50 g

We are required to determine the rate limiting reagent.

  • First, we write the balanced equation for the reaction

6Li(s) + N₂(g) → 2Li₃N

From the equation, 6 moles of Lithium reacts with 1 mole of nitrogen.

  • Second, we determine moles of Lithium and nitrogen given.

Moles = Mass ÷ Molar mass

Moles of Lithium

Molar mass of Li = 6.941 g/mol

Moles of Li = 1.50 g ÷ 6.941 g/mol

                   = 0.216 moles

Moles of nitrogen gas

Molar mass of Nitrogen gas is 28.0 g/mol

Moles of nitrogen gas = 1.50 g ÷ 28.0 g/mol

                                     = 0.054 moles

  • According to the equation, 6 moles of Lithium reacts with 1 mole of nitrogen.
  • Therefore, 0.216 moles of lithium will require 0.036 moles (0.216 moles ÷6) of nitrogen gas.
  • On the other hand, 0.054 moles of nitrogen, would require 0.324 moles of Lithium.

Thus, Lithium is the limiting reagent while nitrogen is in excess.
