Answer:

71 Ga has a naturally abundance of 36%

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Gallium has 2 naturally occurring isotopes: this means the abundance of the 2 isotopes together is 100 %. The atomic weight of Ga is 69.72 amu. This is the average of all the isotopes.

Since the average mass of 69.72 is closer to the mass of 69 Ga, this means 69 Ga will be more present than 71 Ga

Percentage 69 Ga> Percentage 71 Ga

Step 2: Calculate the abundance %

⇒Percentage of 71 Ga = X %

⇒Percentage of 69 Ga = 100 % - X %

The mass balance equation will be:

100*69.72 = x * 71 + (100 - x)*69

6972 = 71x + 6900 -69x

72 = 2x

x = 36 %

71 Ga has a naturally abundance of 36%

69 Ga has a naturally abundance of 64%

Tomato juice has a pH of 4.20. Calculate the [H3O+] and [OH–] in tomato juice.

Free_Kalibri [48]

[H3O+] = 10^(-pH) = 10^(-4.20) = 6.3 x 10^-5 M

pOH = 14 - pH = 14 - 4.20 = 9.80

[OH-] = 10^(-pOH) = 10^(-9.80) = 1.6 x 10^-10 M

Determine the pHpH of an HFHF solution of each of the following concentrations. In which cases can you not make the simplifying

PIT_PIT [208]

The question is incomplete, complete question is :

Determine the pH of an HF solution of each of the following concentrations. In which cases can you not make the simplifying assumption that x is small? ( $K_a$ for HF is $6.8\times 10^{-4}$ .)

[HF] = 0.280 M

Express your answer to two decimal places.

Answer:

The pH of an 0.280 M HF solution is 1.87.

Explanation:3

Initial concentration if HF = c = 0.280 M

Dissociation constant of the HF = $K_a=6.8\times 10^{-4}$

$HF\rightleftharpoons H^++F^-$

Initially

c 0 0

At equilibrium :

(c-x) x x

The expression of disassociation constant is given as:

$K_a=\frac{[H^+][F^-]}{[HF]}$

$K_a=\frac{x\times x}{(c-x)}$

$6.8\times 10^{-4}=\frac{x^2}{(0.280 M-x)}$

Solving for x, we get:

x = 0.01346 M

So, the concentration of hydrogen ion at equilibrium is :

$[H^+]=x=0.01346 M$

The pH of the solution is ;

$pH=-\log[H^+]=-\log[0.01346 M]=1.87$

The pH of an 0.280 M HF solution is 1.87.

Compare and contrast the functions of each of the following types of flasks: filter, Erlenmeyer, volumetric. (Site 2)

gogolik [260]

Filter flasks are also known as vacuum, suction or the Buchner flasks. They have thick walls and also have a short glass tube. The thick walls are designed to enable the filter withstand high pressures of vacuum applied to filter substances. Generally this is used for filtering.

While the Erlenmeyer flask also called as a conical flask, is a titration flask which consists of a conical body, a flat bottom, and round neck. This is used for used for general uses such as mixing, titrations, preparation of cultures, for recrystallization, and for supporting filter funnels.

Lastly, the Volumetric flasks are graduated flasks which having markings for different volumes. They are calibrated accurately for a specific amount of liquid that can be contained in it hence this is specially used for storing precise amounts of liquid.

What action would you expect an atom of Aluminum to undergo?

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

C. Lose three electrons to have a full outer shell

Explanation:

Al is in Group 13 of the Periodic Table, so it has three valence electrons.

It must either lose three electrons or gain five to achieve a stable octet.

It is easier to lose three electrons than it is to gain five, so Al loses three electrons.

D. is wrong, for the same reason.

A. is wrong. If Al lost three electrons, it would be breaking into a stable inner shell.

C. is wrong. Al is a metal, so it will lose electrons in a reaction.
