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

Why might Marie Curie have been motivated to teach the children of beet workers?
pav-90 [236]

Marie curie worked as a governess and she was awarded noble prize for her discoveries.

Explanation:

When Marie curie worked as a governess for three years her employer allowed her to teach reading to the children of peasant workers at his beet sugar factory. This was banned under Russian rule. During that time she studied chemistry lessons from her father by mail.

Marie curie was awarded the Noble prize in chemistry for her discoveries and studies of elements radium and polonium. She is the only women who is awarded the Noble prize twice.

She made her first research into the treatment of tumors with radiation and founded a Curie institutes, that are important medical research centers.

It is possible to prepare ethanol by nucleophilic substitution. For an electrophile, you could choose EtCl, EtBr, or EtI; for a
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

The reactant/reagent that would be most atom economical is EtI (Ethy Iodide) and KOH (potassium oxide) as base

This is because the iodo group are weak base hence they have a good leaving character (i.e they are unstable on their own ) which would increase the rate of reaction and the strong base KOH give the most atom economical

kumpel [21]

Answer:

0.17325 moles per liter per second

Explanation:

For a first order reaction;

in[A] = in[A]o - kt

Where;

[A]= concentration at time t

[A]o = initial concentration

k= rate constant

t= time taken

ln0.5 =ln1 - 2k

2k = ln1 - ln0.5

k= ln1 - ln0.5/2

k= 0 -(0.693)/2

k= 0.693/2

k= 0.3465 s-1

Rate of reaction = k[A]

Rate = 0.3465 s-1 × 0.50 mol/L

Rate = 0.17325 moles per liter per second

Which of the following statements concerning equilibrium constants is true? The equilibrium constant of the reverse reaction is
Brut [27]

Answer:

When the coefficients in a balanced chemical reaction are multiplied by two, the equilibrium constant is not affected.

Explanation:

The equilibrium constant of a reaction is known to remain steady.

Even if all the coefficients of all the species in the reaction are multiplied by two, the value of the equilibrium constant will reamin the same because the equilibrium position will not change as a result of that.
