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>

Which sequence contains elements listed from most reactive<br> to least reactive?
maxonik [38]

Answer:

Transition metals, alkali metals, alkaline earth metals Transition metals - Middle of the periodic chart, only average reactivity. alkali metals - As mentioned above, very reactive. Bad choice, going from lower reactivity to higher reactivity.

Hope this answer is right!

Mass of a mole is known as
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

Molar mass is the mass of a given substance divided by the amount of that substance, measured in g/mol. For example, the atomic mass of titanium is 47.88 amu or 47.88 g/mol. In 47.88 grams of titanium, there is one mole, or 6.022 x 1023 titanium atoms.

What happens to the atomic radius when an elctron is lost​
Daniel [21]

Answer:

It decreases.

Explanation:

Due to changes in the Coulombic force, the protons within the nucleus of the ion have a much easier time pulling at one fewer electrons. This way, the electrons are pulled closer to the center, causing the radius to decrease.

Calculate the amount of heat released when 27.0 g H2O is cooled from a liquid at 314 K to a solid at 263 K. The melting point of
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer : The amount of heat released, 45.89 KJ

Solution :

Process involved in the calculation of heat released :

(1):H_2O(l)(314K)\rightarrow H_2O(l)(273K)\\\\(2):H_2O(l)(273K)\rightarrow H_2O(s)(273K)\\\\(3):H_2O(s)(273K)\rightarrow H_2O(s)(263K)

Now we have to calculate the amount of heat released.

Q=[m\times c_{p,l}\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})]+\Delta H_{fusion}+[m\times c_{p,s}\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})]

where,

Q = amount of heat released = ?

m = mass of water = 27 g

c_{p,l} = specific heat of liquid water = 4.184 J/gk

c_{p,s} = specific heat of solid water = 2.093 J/gk

\Delta H_{fusion} = enthalpy change for fusion = 40.7 KJ/mole = 40700 J/mole

conversion : 0^oC=273k

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get

Q=[27g\times 4.184J/gK\times (314-273)k]+40700J+[27g\times 2.093J/gK\times (273-263)k]

Q=45896.798J=45.89KJ     (1 KJ = 1000 J)

Therefore, the amount of heat released, 45.89 KJ
