What is the relative atomic mass of a hypothetical element that consists isotopes in the indicated natural abundances

belka [17]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:What is the relative atomic mass of a hypothetical element that consists isotopes in the indicated natural abundances.

Isotope mass amu Relative abundance

1 77.9 14.4

2 81.9 14.3

3 85.9 71.3

Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Answer: 84.2 amu

Explanation:

Mass of isotope 1 = 77.9

% abundance of isotope 1 = 14.4% = $\frac{14.4}{100}=0.144$

Mass of isotope 2 = 81.9

% abundance of isotope 2 = 14.3% = $\frac{14.3}{100}=0.143$

Mass of isotope 3 = 85.9

% abundance of isotope 2 = 71.3% = $\frac{71.3}{100}=0.713$

Formula used for average atomic mass of an element :

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

$A=\sum[(77.9\times 0.144)+(81.9\times 0.143)+(85.9\times 0.713)]$

$A=84.2amu$

Therefore, the average atomic mass of a hypothetical element that consists isotopes in the indicated natural abundances is 84.2 amu

Gifblaar is a small South African shrub and one of the most poisonous plants known because it contains fluoroacetic acid (FCH2CO

PSYCHO15rus [73]

[H_{3}O^{+}] = 0.00770 M

The equilibrium equation representing the dissociation of $FCH_{2}COOH$

$FCH_{2}COOH(aq) + H_{2}O (l) FCH_{2}COO^{-}(aq)+ H_{3}O^{+}(aq)$

Given [H_{3}O^{+}] = 0.00770 M

Let the initial concentration of acid be x and change y

So y = $[H_{3}O^{+}]$ = $[FCH_{2}COO^{-}]$ = 0.00770 M

$pK_{a} = 2.59K_{a} = 10^{-2.59} = 0.00257 M$

$K_{a} = \frac{(0.00770 M)(0.00770 M)}{x - 0.00770}$

$0.00257 = \frac{0.00005929}{x - 0.00770}$

0.00257 x - 0.00001979 = 0.00005929

x = 0.031 M

Therefore, initial concentration of the weak acid is <u>0.031 M</u>

The gas-phase reaction follows an elementary rate law and is to be carried out first in a PFR and then in a separate experiment

astraxan [27]

Answer:

The activation energy is $=8.1\,kcal\,mol^{-1}$

Explanation:

The gas phase reaction is as follows.

$A \rightarrow B+C$

The rate law of the reaction is as follows.

$-r_{A}=kC_{A}$

The reaction is carried out first in the plug flow reactor with feed as pure reactant.

From the given,

Volume "V" = $10dm^{3}$

Temperature "T" = 300 K

Volumetric flow rate of the reaction $v_{o}=5dm^{3}s$

Conversion of the reaction "X" = 0.8

The rate constant of the reaction can be calculate by the following formua.

$V= \frac{v_{0}}{k}[(1+\epsilon )ln(\frac{1}{1-X}-\epsilon X)]$

Rearrange the formula is as follows.

$k= \frac{v_{0}}{V}[(1+\epsilon )ln(\frac{1}{1-X}-\epsilon X)]............(1)$

The feed has Pure A, mole fraction of A in feed $y_{A_{o}}$ is 1.

$\epsilon =y_{A_{o}}\delta$

$\delta$ = change in total number of moles per mole of A reacte.

$=1(2-1)=1$

Substitute the all given values in equation (1)

$k=\frac{5m^{3}/s}{10dm^{3}}[(1+1)ln \frac{1}{1-0.8}-1 \times 0.8] = 1.2s^{-1}$

Therefore, the rate constant in case of the plug flow reacor at 300K is $1.2s^{-1}$

The rate constant in case of the CSTR can be calculated by using the formula.

$\frac{V}{v_{0}}= \frac{X(1+\epsilon X)}{k(1-X)}.............(2)$

The feed has 50% A and 50% inerts.

Hence, the mole fraction of A in feed $y_{A_{o}}$ is 0.5

$\epsilon =y_{A_{o}}\delta$

$\delta$ = change in total number of moles per mole of A reacted.

$=0.5(2-1)=0.5$

Substitute the all values in formula (2)

$\frac{10dm^{3}}{5dm^{3}}=\frac{0.8(1+0.5(0.8))}{k(1-0.8)}=2.8s^{-1}$

Therefore, the rate constant in case of CSTR comes out to be $2.8s^{-1}$

The activation energy of the reaction can be calculated by using formula

$k(T_{2})=k(T_{1})exp[\frac{E}{R}(\frac{1}{T_{1}}-\frac{1}{T_{2}})]$

In the above reaction rate constant at the two different temperatures.

Rearrange the above formula is as follows.

$E= R \times(\frac{T_{1}T_{2}}{T_{1}-T_{2}})ln\frac{k(T_{2})}{k(T_{1})}$

Substitute the all values.

$=1.987cal/molK(\frac{300K \times320K}{320K \times300K})ln \frac{2.8}{1.2}=8.081 \times10^{3}cal\,mol^{-1}$

$=8.1\,kcal\,mol^{-1}$

Therefore, the activation energy is $=8.1\,kcal\,mol^{-1}$

PLEASE HELPPPP! HOW DO I DO THIS???

kow [346]

Answer:

1552.83J Released

Explanation:

1. mass/m=225

Initial temp:86C, final:32.5C

Changed Temp: 32.5-86= -53.5C

s=0.129 J/gC

Formula: q= m times s times changed Temp.

q=(225)(0.129)(-53.5)

q= -1552.83 J

q=1552.83 J Released

Carry out some research into how new elements get their name and their symbols. Write out a short passage (no more than 50 words

spin [16.1K]

The IUPAC says that elements have to be named after one of five things: a scientist, a place, a mineral or substance, a descriptor of the element, or a mythological reference. Of the new elements, three are named after places and one is named after a person No-one has yet named an element after themselves but many elements are named in tribute to important scientists
