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

Consider the following reversible reaction.
andriy [413]

Answer:

No one is correct. The correct expression is:

Keq = [H₂]²  . [O₂]² / [H₂O]²

Explanation:

To build the Keq expression in a chemical equilibrium you must consider the molar concentrations of reactants / products, and they must be elevated to the stoichiometric coefficient.

The balance reaction is:

<u>2</u> H₂O (g)  ⇄  <u>2</u> H₂ (g)  +  O₂ (g)

Keq = [H₂]²  . [O₂]  / [H₂O]²

In opposite side: <u>2</u> H₂ (g)  +  O₂ (g)   ⇄  <u>2</u> H₂O (g)

Keq =  [H₂O]² / [H₂]²  . [O₂]
