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>

Using any data you can find in the ALEKS Data resource, calculate the equilibrium constant K at 30.0 °C for the following reacti
gayaneshka [121]

Answer : The value of K for this reaction is, 2.6\times 10^{15}

Explanation :

The given chemical reaction is:

CH_3OH(g)+CO(g)\rightarrow HCH_3CO_2(g)

Now we have to calculate value of (\Delta G^o).

\Delta G^o=G_f_{product}-G_f_{reactant}

\Delta G^o=[n_{HCH_3CO_2(g)}\times \Delta G^0_{(HCH_3CO_2(g))}]-[n_{CH_3OH(g)}\times \Delta G^0_{(CH_3OH(g))}+n_{CO(g)}\times \Delta G^0_{(CO(g))}]

where,

\Delta G^o = Gibbs free energy of reaction = ?

n = number of moles

\Delta G^0_{(HCH_3CO_2(g))} = -389.8 kJ/mol

\Delta G^0_{(CH_3OH(g))} = -161.96 kJ/mol

\Delta G^0_{(CO(g))} = -137.2 kJ/mol

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

\Delta G^o=[1mole\times (-389.8kJ/mol)]-[1mole\times (-163.2kJ/mol)+1mole\times (-137.2kJ/mol)]

\Delta G^o=-89.4kJ/mol

The relation between the equilibrium constant and standard Gibbs, free energy is:

\Delta G^o=-RT\times \ln K

where,

\Delta G^o = standard Gibbs, free energy  = -89.4 kJ/mol = -89400 J/mol

R = gas constant  = 8.314 J/L.atm

T = temperature  = 30.0^oC=273+30.0=303K

K = equilibrium constant = ?

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

-89400J/mol=-(8.314J/L.atm)\times (303K)\times \ln K

K=2.6\times 10^{15}

Thus, the value of K for this reaction is, 2.6\times 10^{15}

Balancing Al+ Agcl, i have problems with this so help!!!
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

Al  + 3AgCl  →  AlCl₃  + 3Ag

Explanation:

The given equation is:  

      Al  + AgCl  →  

We are to find the product and hence balance the equation. This problem is a simple single replacement reaction.

By virtue of this, Aluminum will displace Ag from the solution:

                       Al  + AgCl  →  AlCl₃  + Ag

    We then balance the equation:

                        Al  + 3AgCl  →  AlCl₃  + 3Ag

According to Pascal's principle, how does pressure from a hand squeezing a ketchup bottle move throughout the ketchup?
Pepsi [2]

- According to Pascal’s principle, for a certain fluid in a totally enclosed system, a change in pressure at a given point in the fluid is transferred to all points in the fluid, as well as to the enclosing walls.

- This is illustrated by the fact that the pressure inside an enclosed system is the same according to the relation [ pressure = force/area ]. Therefore, the change in pressure resulting from squeezing a ketchup bottle will be transferred equally to all parts of that bottle as well as its internal content.

- That’s how hydraulic machines, such as garbage trucks and hydraulic lifts function..
