Answer: Its average atomic mass is 114.9 amu

Explanation:

Mass of isotope 1 = 113 amu

% abundance of isotope 1 = 5% = \frac{5}{100}=0.05

Mass of isotope 2 = 115 amu

% abundance of isotope 2 = 95% = \frac{95}{100}=0.95

Formula used for average atomic mass of an element :

\text{ Average atomic mass of an element}=\sum(\text{atomic mass of an isotopes}\times {{\text { fractional abundance}})

A=\sum[(113\times 0.05)+(115\times 0.95)]

A=114.9amu

Thus its average atomic mass is 114.9 amu

What is electronic configuration? What is the Law of Constant Composition?
Dovator [93]

Answer:

The law of constant proportions states that chemical compounds are made up of elements that are present in a fixed ratio by mass. This implies that any pure sample of a compound, no matter the source, will always consist of the same elements that are present in the same ratio by mass.

If you have 730 moles of a gas at 304 Kelvin in a 4.50 Liter container what
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

4046atm

Explanation:

For this question you can use the ideal gas law,

<em />PV=nRT<em />

Where P is pressure, V is volume, n is moles of substance, R is the constant, and T is the temperature.

Because of the units given, R will equal .08026P=4046 atm

<h3>Rearrange the equation to solve for pressure:</h3>

P=\frac{nRT}{V}

Then, plug in the values (I'll be excluding units for simplicity, but they all cancel out for pressure in atm):

P=\frac{(730)(.08206)(304)}{4.5}

This will give you:

P=4046atm

Freon, a very useful refrigerant, is produced in the following reaction:
Svetach [21]

Answer:

The chemistry will need 2*10⁶ moles of antimony trifluoride.

Explanation:

The balanced reaction is:

3 CCl₄ (g) + 2 SbF₃ (s) → 3 CCl₂F₂(g) + 2 SbCl₃ (s)

By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of each compound participate in the reaction:

  • CCl₄: 3 moles  
  • SbF₃: 2 moles
  • CCl₂F₂: 3 moles
  • SbCl₃: 2 moles

You can apply the following rule of three: if by reaction stoichiometry 3 moles of freon are produced by 2 moles of antimony trifluoride, 3*10⁶ moles of Freon are produced from how many moles of antimony trifluoride?

moles of antimony trifluoride=\frac{3*10^{6}  moles of freon*2 moles of antimony trifluoride}{3 moles of freon}

moles of antimony trifluoride= 2*10⁶

<u><em>The chemistry will need 2*10⁶ moles of antimony trifluoride.</em></u>
