Answer:

162.35 amu

Explanation:

Let A represent isotope X-159

Let B represent isotope X-163

Let C represent isotope X-164

The following data were obtained from the question:

Isotope >>> Abundance >>> Mass no

A >>>>>>>> 30.60 >>>>>>>> 159.37

B >>>>>>>> 15.79 >>>>>>>>> 162.79

C >>>>>>>> 53.61 >>>>>>>>> 163.92

Average Atomic mass =.?

The average atomic mass of element X can be obtained as follow:

Average atomic mass = [(mass of A × A%)/100] + [(mass of B × B%)/100] + [(mass of C × C%)/100]

= [(159.37 × 30.60)/100] + [(162.79 × 15.79)/100] + [(163.92 × 53.61)/100]

= 48.77 + 25.70 + 87.88

= 162.35 amu

Therefore, the average atomic mass of element X is 162.35 amu

How do the number of electrons in the second energy shell of an atom change going across period 2 in the periodic table?
weqwewe [10]
The answer should be A, the number of electrons increases by 1, from left to right.

Across the periods (horizontal direction) in periodic table, each element has one more electron then the one before it. The number of period determines the number of occupied electron shells of the elements in that period. Which means, period 1 elements have 1 occupied electron shell, period 2 has 2, period 3 has 3 etc.

Therefore, the answer is A, we always go from left to right, and plus since period 2 elements only have 2 occupied electrons so their 2nd electron shell electrons must increase throughout the period.

In acidic solution, the sulfate ion can be used to react with a number of metal ions. One such reaction is SO42−(aq) Sn2 (aq)→H2
Sav [38]

Answer:

SO₄²⁻(aq) +Sn²⁺(aq) +4H⁺ → H₂SO₃(aq) + Sn⁴⁺(aq) + H₂O

Explanation:

At first calculate the oxidation state of that element which undergoes oxidation as well as reduction.

for SO₄²⁻ the oxidation state of sulphur is +6 and H₂SO₃ the oxidation state of sulphur is +4

So balance equation is

(Reduction)      SO₄²⁻ + 4H⁺+ 2e⁻ → H₂SO₃ + H₂O.........................................(1)

(oxidation)        Sn²⁺ → Sn⁴⁺ + 2e⁻ .............................................................(2)

Adding equation 1 & 2

we get

SO₄²⁻(aq) +Sn²⁺(aq) +4H⁺ → H₂SO₃(aq) + Sn⁴⁺(aq) + H₂O
