Zinc has three major and two minor isotopes. For this problem, assume that the only isotopes of zinc are the major ones, zinc-64

, zinc-66, and zinc-68. The atomic mass of zinc-64 is 63.9291 Da, that of zinc-66 is 65.9260 Da, and that of zinc-68 is 67.9248 Da. Calculate the atomic mass of zinc from the relative peak intensities in the following spectrum. peak intensity for zinc 64 = 100 peak intensity for zinc 66 = 57.4 peak intensity for zinc 68 = 38.6

Answer:

The atomic mass of Zinc is 65.30 Da

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: </u>Data given

3 major isotopes

⇒ Zinc-64  

     atomic mass = 63.929 Da  

     Peak intensity = 100

⇒ Zinc-66

     atomic mass = 65.9260 Da

     Peak intensity = 57.4

⇒ Zinc- 68  

     atomic mass =  67.9248 Da

     Peak intensity = 38.6

<u />

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate the natural abundance

∑peak intensity = 100 + 57.4 + 38.6 = 196

Zinc-64 : 100/196 = 0.5102 ⇒ 51.02 %

Zinc-66 : 57.4/196 = 0.2929 ⇒ 29.29 %

Zinc-68 : 38.6/196 = 0.1969 ⇒ 19.69 %

<u>Step 3:</u> Calculate the atomic mass if Zinc

63.9291 * 0.5102 + 65.9260*0.2929 + 67.9248*0.1969 = 65.3007 Da

The atomic mass of Zinc is 65.30 Da

A student balances the following redox reaction using half-reactions.
ICE Princess25 [194]
Answer: 6.

Explanation:

1) Aluminum

Al^0-3e^----\ \textgreater \ Al^{3+}

So each atom of aluminum lost 3 electrons to pass from 0 oxidation state to 3+ oxidation state.

2) Manganesium

Mn^{2+}+2e^{-}---\ \textgreater \ Mn

So, each ion of Mn(2+) gained 2 electrons pass from 2+ oxidation state to 0.

3) Balance

Multiply aluminum half-reaction (oxidation) by 2 and multiply manganesium half-raction (reduction) by 3:

2Al^{0}-6e^{-}---\ \textgreater \ 2Al^{3+}&#10;&#10;3Mn^{2+}+6e^{-}---\ \textgreater \ 3Mn^{0}

4) Net equation

Add the two half-equations:

2Al^{0}+3Mn^{2+}----\ \textgreater \ 2Al^{3+}+3Mn^{0}

As you see the left side has 2 Al, 3Mn, and 3*2 positive charges.

The right side has 2 Al, 3 Mn, and 2*3 positive charges.

So, the equation is balanced.

5) Count the number of electrons involved.

As you see 2 atoms of aluminum lost 6 electrons (3 each).

That is the answer to the question. 6 electrons will be lost.

2. HOW MUCH HEAT IS REQUIRED TO BE RELEASED WHEN
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer: -112200J

Explanation:

The amount of heat (Q) released from an heated substance depends on its Mass (M), specific heat capacity (C) and change in temperature (Φ)

Thus, Q = MCΦ

Since,

Q = ?

Mass of water vapour = 30.0g

C = 187 J/ G°C

Φ = (Final temperature - Initial temperature)

= 100°C - 120°C = -20°C

Then apply the formula, Q = MCΦ

Q = 30.0g x 187 J/ G°C x -20°C

Q = -112200J (The negative sign does indicates that heat was released to the surroundings)

Thus, -112200 joules of heat is released when cooling the superheated vapour.
