How does the abundance of various isotopes affect the atomic mass?

Chemistry
1 answer:
eduard3 years ago
6 0

solution:

The quoted atomic mass on the Periodic Table is the WEIGHTED average of the individual isotopic masses. The higher the isotopic percentage, the MORE that isotope will contribute to the isotopic mass. For this reason, most masses that are quoted on the Table are non-integral.

By way of example we could look to the hydrogen atom. The VAST majority of hydrogen atoms (in this universe) are the protium isotope. i.e. 1H, whose nuclei contain JUST the defining proton. There is a smaller percentage (>1%) of hydrogen atoms WITH one NEUTRON in their nuclei to give the deuterium isotope. i.e. 2H, and because this is relatively cheap, and easily incorporated into a molecule, deuterium labelling is routinely used in analysis.

And there is even a smaller percentage of hydrogen atoms with TWO NEUTRONS in their nuclei, to give the tritium isotope. i.e. 3H. The weighted average of the isotopic percentages gives 1.00794⋅g⋅mol^{−1}

For each reaction, identify the element that gets reduced and the element that gets oxidized. 2 AgCl + Zn ⟶ 2 Ag + ZnCl 2 2AgCl+
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Oxidation:

Oxidation involve the removal of electrons and oxidation state of atom of an element is increased.

Reduction:

Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.

Oxidizing agents:

Oxidizing agents oxidize the other elements and itself gets reduced.

Reducing agents:

Reducing agents reduced the other element are it self gets oxidized.

Consider the following reaction:

2AgCl + Zn  → 2Ag + ZnCl₂

In this reaction oxidation state of Zn on left side is 0 while on right side +2 so it gets oxidized and oxidation state of Ag on left side is +1 and on right side 0 so it get reduced.

4NH₃  +  3O₂   →   2N₂ +  6H₂O

In this reaction oxidation state of nitrogen on left side is -3 while on right side 0 so it gets oxidized and oxidation state of oxygen on left side is 0 and on right side -2 so it get reduced.

Fe₂O₃ +  2Al  →   Al₂O₃ +  2Fe

In this reaction oxidation state of iron on left side is +3 while on right side 0 so it gets reduced and oxidation state of Al on left side is 0 and on right side +3 so it get oxidized.

When scientists use one of their five senses to gather information, they are A. making an observation. B. making an inference. C
Goshia [24]

A. making an observation.

Explanation:

When scientists use one of their five sense to gather information, they are simply making an observation.

Most physical properties of matter are studied using sense of taste, of feel, sight, hearing and smell.

  • Observation is the act of making a measurement or studying.
  • It helps to investigate particular phenomenon in nature.
  • Most observations made with our senses are usually qualitative in nature.
  • They cannot be assigned values like quantitative ones.

Using the thermodynamic information in the ALEKS Data tab, calculate the standard reaction entropy of the following chemical rea
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

ΔS° = - 47.2 J/mol.K

Explanation:

  • P4O10 + 6H2O → 4H3PO4

ΔS°= 4(S°mH3PO4) - 6(S°mH2O) - S°mP4O10

∴ S°mH2O(l) = 69.9 J/mol.K

∴ S°mP4O10 = 231 J/mol.K

∴ S°mH3PO4 = 150.8 J/mol.K

⇒ ΔS° = 4*(150.8) - 6*(69.9) - 231

⇒ ΔS° = - 47.2 J/mol.K

A solution at 25 degrees Celsius is 1.0 × 10–5 M H3O+. What is the concentration of OH– in this solution? 1.0 × 10–5 M OH– 1.0 ×
Triss [41]

Answer:

1.0 × 10⁻⁹ M.

Explanation:

<em>∵ [H₃O⁺][OH⁻] = 10⁻¹⁴.</em>

[H₃O⁺] = 1.0 x 10⁻⁵ M.

<em>∴ [OH⁻] = 10⁻¹⁴/[H₃O⁺]</em> = 10⁻¹⁴/(1.0 x 10⁻⁵ M) = <em>1.0 × 10⁻⁹ M.</em>
