Answer:

221.37 u

Explanation:

The formula for the calculation of the average atomic mass is:

Average\ atomic\ mass=(\frac {\%\ of\ the\ first\ isotope}{100}\times {Mass\ of\ the\ first\ isotope})+(\frac {\%\ of\ the\ second\ isotope}{100}\times {Mass\ of\ the\ second\ isotope})

Given that:

For first isotope:

% = 65.51 %

Mass = 223.95 u

For second isotope:

Since the element has only 2 isotopes, so the percentage of second is 100 - first percentage.

% = 100 %  - 65.51 %  = 34.49 %

Let, Mass = x u

Given, Average Mass = 223.06 u

Thus,  

223.06=\frac {65.51}{100}\times {223.95}+\frac {34.49}{100}\times {x}

Solving for x, we get that:

x = 221.37 u

<u>Thus mass of second isotope = 221.37 u</u>

When one material is rubbed against another, electrons jump readily from one to the other. why don’t protons do that?
Pachacha [2.7K]
Protons are held inside nucleous with neutrons with large amount of force. So mere rubbing doesn't help in breaking the nucleous of an atom. But electrons are far from the nucleous and the force of attraction is smaller. So electrons can jump readily while protons can't

an engineer wishes to design a container that will hold 12.0 mol of ethane at a pressure no greater than 5.00x10*2 kPa and a tem
OleMash [197]

Answer:

The minimum volume of the container is 0.0649 cubic meters, which is the same as 64.9 liters.

Explanation:

Assume that ethane behaves as an ideal gas under these conditions.

By the ideal gas law,

P\cdot V = n\cdot R\cdot T,

\displaystyle V = \frac{n\cdot R\cdot T}{P}.

where

  • P is the pressure of the gas,
  • V is the volume of the gas,
  • n is the number of moles of particles in this gas,
  • R is the ideal gas constant, and
  • T is the absolute temperature of the gas (in degrees Kelvins.)

The numerical value of R will be 8.314 if P, V, and T are in SI units. Convert these values to SI units:

  • P =\rm 5.00\times 10^{2}\;kPa = 5.00\times 10^{2}\times 10^{3}\; Pa = 5.00\times 10^{5}\; Pa;
  • V shall be in cubic meters, \rm m^{3};
  • T = \rm 52.0 \textdegree C = (52.0 + 273.15)\; K = 325.15\; K.

Apply the ideal gas law:

\displaystyle \begin{aligned}V &= \frac{n\cdot R\cdot T}{P}\\ &= \frac{12.0\times 8.314\times 325.15}{5.00\times 10^{5}}\\ &= \rm 0.0649\; m^{3} \\ &= \rm (0.0649\times 10^{3})\; L \\ &=\rm 64.9\; L\end{aligned}.

What is the new concentration of 25.0mL added to 125.0mL of 0.150M
____ [38]

Answer:

The new concentration is 0.125 M.

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume V₁ = 125.0 mL

Initial molarity M₁ = 0.150 M

New volume V₂ = 25 mL +125 mL = 150 mL

New concentration M₂ = ?

Solution:

M₁V₁    =    M₂V₂

0.150 M × 125 mL = M₂ × 150 mL

M₂ = 0.150 M × 125 mL / 150mL

M₂ = 18.75 M.mL/150 mL

M₂ = 0.125 M

The new concentration is 0.125 M.
