Answer:

35Cl = 75.9 %

37Cl = 24.1 %

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

The relative atomic mass of Chlorine = 35.45 amu

Mass of the isotopes:

35Cl = 34.96885269 amu

37Cl = 36.96590258 amu

Step 2: Calculate percentage abundance

35.45 = x*34.96885269 + y*36.96590258

x+y = 1  x = 1-y

35.45 = (1-y)*34.96885269 + y*36.96590258

35.45 = 34.96885269 - 34.96885269y +36.96590258y

0.48114731 = 1,99704989‬y

y = 0.241 = 24.1 %

35Cl = 34.96885269 amu = 75.9 %

37Cl = 36.96590258 amu = 24.1 %

Yet a third pair of compounds of manganese and oxygen is 50.48% and 36.81% oxygen respectively. In what small whole number ratio
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

The number ratio is 4:7

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Compound 1 has 50.48 % oxygen

Compound 2 has 36.81 % oxygen

Molar mass oxygen = 16 g/mol

Molar mass manganese = 54.94 g/mol

Step 2: Calculate % manganes

Compound 1: 100 - 50.48 = 49.52 %

Compound 2: 100 - 36.81 = 63.19 %

Step 3: Calculate mass

Suppose mass of compounds = 100 grams

Compound 1:

 50.48 % O = 50.48 grams

 49.52 % Mn = 49.52 grams

Compound 2:

36.81 % O = 36.81 grams

63.19 % Mn = 63.19 grams

Step 4: Calculate moles

Compound 1

Moles O = 50.48 grams / 16.0 g/mol = 3.155 moles

Moles Mn = 49.52 grams / 54.94 g/mol = 0.9013 moles

Compound 2

Moles O = 36.81 grams / 16.0 g/mol = 2.301 moles

Moles Mn = 63.19 grams / 54.94 g/mol = 1.150 moles

Step 5: calculate mol ratio

We will divide by the smallest amount of moles

Compound 1

O: 3.155/0.9013 = 3.5

Mn: 0.9013 / 0.9013 = 1

Mn2O7

Compound 2

O: 2.301 / 1.150 = 2

Mn: 1.150 / 1.150 = 1

MnO2

The number ratio is 2:3.5 or 4:7

It takes 281.7 kJ of energy to remove 1 mole of electrons from the atoms on the surface of lithium metal. If lithium metal is ir
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

The maximum kinetic energy of electron is = 2.93 × 10^{-19} Joule

Explanation:

We know that total energy

E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}  ------------ (1)

Here h = plank's constant = 6.62 × 10^{-34} J s

c = speed of light = 3 × 10^{8} \frac{m}{s}

\lambda = 261 nm = 261  × 10^{-9} m

Put all these values in equation (1) we get

E = 7.6   × 10^{-19} J

We know that

Total energy = Energy to remove an electron + K.E of electron

Energy to remove an electron = \frac{281.7 (1000)}{(6.023)10^{23} }

Energy to remove an electron = 4.67  × 10^{-19} J

K.E of electron = Total energy - Energy to remove an electron

K.E of electron = 7.6   × 10^{-19} -  4.67  × 10^{-19}

K.E of electron = 2.93 × 10^{-19} Joule

Therefore the maximum kinetic energy of electron is = 2.93 × 10^{-19} Joule

he mineral rhodochrosite [manganese(II) carbonate, MnCO3] is a commercially important source of manganese. Write a half-reaction
valina [46]

Answer:

MnCO_{3}+2H_{2}O-2e^{-}\rightarrow MnO_{2}+HCO_{3}^{-}+3H^{+}

Explanation:

Half reaction:MnCO_{3}\rightarrow MnO_{2}

(1)CO_{3} balance: MnCO_{3}\rightarrow MnO_{2}+HCO_{3}^{-}

(2)H and O balance in acidic medium:MnCO_{3}+2H_{2}O\rightarrow MnO_{2}+HCO_{3}^{-}+3H^{+}

(3) charge balance:MnCO_{3}+2H_{2}O-2e^{-}\rightarrow MnO_{2}+HCO_{3}^{-}+3H^{+}

Hence balanced half-reaction:MnCO_{3}+2H_{2}O-2e^{-}\rightarrow MnO_{2}+HCO_{3}^{-}+3H^{+}
