Answer:

14.434 r.a.m.

Explanation:

  • The atomic mass of an element is a weighted average of its isotopes in which the sum of the abundance of each isotope is equal to 1 or 100%.

∵ The atomic mass of N = ∑(atomic mass of each isotope)(its abundance)

∴ The atomic mass of N = (atomic mass of N-14)(abundance of N-14) + (atomic mass of N-16)(abundance of N-16)

atomic mass of N-14 = 14.0 r.a.m, abundance of N-14 = percent of N-14/100 = 78.3/100 = 0.783.

atomic mass of N-16 = 16.0 r.a.m, abundance of N-16 = percent of N-16/100 = 21.7/100 = 0.217.

∴ The atomic mass of N = (atomic mass of N-14)(abundance of N-14) + (atomic mass of N-16)(abundance of N-16) = (14.0 r.a.m)(0.783) + (16.0 r.a.m)(0.217) = 14.434 r.a.m.

What is the mass of 2.40 moles of magnesium chloride, mgcl2
LiRa [457]

Hey there!

MgCl₂

Find molar mass of magnesium chloride.

Mg: 1 x 24.305

Cl: 2 x 35.453

--------------------  

          95.211 grams

One mole of magnesium chloride has a mass of 95.211 grams.

We have 2.40 moles.

2.40 x 95.211 = 228.5

To 3 sig figs this is 229.

The mass of 2.40 moles of magnesium chloride is 229 grams.

Hope this helps!

An atom's nucleus has 92 protons and its mass number is 235. how many neutrons are in the nucleus? what is the name of the atom
STALIN [3.7K]
The mass number is the sum of the protons and neutrons in an atom. 235-92 = 143 neutrons.
Element 92 is Uranium.

Uranium is also the highest atomic number element which exists in nature. All of the rest above element 92 only exist nuclear high-energy reactions (the transuranium elements), and most experience nuclear decay very quickly and form other elements with fewer protons.

Which sample of water contains particles having the highest average kinetic energy?
Makovka662 [10]
(1) 25 ml of water at 95 degrees Celsius is your answer. Temperature is the average kinetic energy of the substance that it measures, therefore the highest temperature choice, aka #1, is your answer.
