Calculate the average atomic mass for the following element given information about the relevant isotopes: (Isotope 1) Mass = 20

amu; Isotopic abundance = 90.92% (Isotope 2) Mass = 21 amu; Isotopic abundance = 0.257% (Isotope 3) Mass = 22 amu; Isotopic abundance = 8.82%

Answer:

The average atomic mass of given element is 20.18 amu.

Explanation:

Given data:

Abundance of 1st isotope mass 20 amu = 90.92%

Abundance of 2nd isotope mass 21 amu = 0.257%

Abundance of 3rd isotope mass 22 amu = 8.82%

Average atomic mass = ?

Solution:

Average atomic mass  = (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  = (90.92×20)+(0.257×21)+(8.82×22) /100

Average atomic mass =  1818.4 + 5.397 +194.04 / 100

Average atomic mass  = 2017.819 / 100

Average atomic mass = 20.18 amu.

The average atomic mass of given element is 20.18 amu.

Why do you think there is not a periodic table of compounds? Explain with evidence.
Alex787 [66]
 <span>Compounds are composed of different elements in a fixed proportions. For example, 1 atom of oxygen (O) combines with 2 atoms of hydrogen (H) to form one molecule of water (H2O) compound. Similarly other numbers of atoms would produce other chemical compounds. Even adding 1 more atom of oxygen would convert the water (H2O) into hydrogen peroxide(H2O2). Even if we were only to list the ones we know there are over 20 million known compounds. 

In order to list all possible compounds such a table would rapidly become combinatoric nightmare of such size that it would not be practical to use even with a computer database and it would consist of over 100 billion possible compounds containing only H, C, O and N. 

Creating a table to handle all possible elements would mean a table of many trillions of compounds.</span>

All the following are oxidation–reduction reactions except:________
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

e. Mg₃N₂(s) + 6H₂O(l) → 3Mg(OH)₂(s) + 2NH₃(g)

Explanation:

All the following are oxidation–reduction reactions except:________

a. H₂(g) + F₂(g) → 2HF(g).  Redox. H is oxidized and F is reduced.

b. Ca(s) + H₂(g) → CaH₂(s).  Redox. Ca is oxidized and H is reduced.

c. 2K(s) + 2H₂O(l) → 2KOH(aq) + H₂(g).  Redox. K is oxidized and H is reduced.

d. 6Li(s) + N₂(g) → 2Li₃N(s).  Redox. Li is oxidized and N is reduced.

e. Mg₃N₂(s) + 6H₂O(l) → 3Mg(OH)₂(s) + 2NH₃(g). Not redox. All the elements have the same oxidation number
