Potassium has three naturally occurring isotopes. According to one source of data, Potassium-39 (mass 38.9637 amu) makes up 93.2

6%, potassium-40 (mass 39.9640 amu) makes up just 0.01%, and potassium-41 (mass 40.9618 amu) makes up 6.73%. What is the average atomic mass of potassium based on these relative abundances

Answer:

Average atomic mass of potassium based on these relative abundances

= 39.0944

Explanation:

The atomic mass of this element will be equal to the sum of product of its three isotopic masses and its fractional abundance

For isotope I -

Mass of Potassium-39 =  38.9637 amu

Fractional abundance of Potassium-39 = 93.26 %

Mass of Potassium-40 = 39.9640 amu

Fractional abundance of Potassium-40 = 0.01 %

Mass of Potassium-41 = 40.9618 amu

Fractional abundance of Potassium-41 =  6.73%

Average atomic mass of potassium based on these relative abundances

= (38.9636 * 0.9326)+ (39.9640*0.0001) + (40.9618 * 0.0673)\\= 36.3374 + 0.0003 + 2.7567\\= 39.0944

given the mass lost during the reaction when the alka seltzer is the limiting reagent and that the molar mass of carbon dioxide
Vadim26 [7]
Alka-seltzer is an effervescent antacid which neutralizes the acid of the stomach by generating CO2. The chemical formula of alka-seltzer is C16H17NaO14. In this case, if we are given the mass of the antacid used, then by stoichiometry, mass alka-seltzer * (1/ molar mass of alk-selz) * (1 mol Co2 / 1 mol alk-seltz) * (44 g/molCo2). That is how you get the mass of Co2 produced.

How does amplitude affect the wavelength?<br>​
docker41 [41]

Answer:

Amplitude does not effect the wavelength in linear system.

Explanation:

Amplitude:

It is the measure of height from peak to trough.

Wavelength:

It is measure of length from peak to peak.

There is no relation between the amplitude and wavelength but if the system will no more linear then high amplitude can cause the distortion in wave if more frequencies are present. However frequency and wavelength can be related. The wave with higher frequency have shorter wavelength and vise versa.

Frequency:

It is the number of waves passing through a given point in a given time period. It is measure in Hz or s⁻¹

Why does the moon and the earth have the same mass
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

Moon rocks contain few volatile substances (e.g. water), which implies extra baking of the lunar surface relative to that of Earth. The relative abundance of oxygen isotopes on Earth and on the Moon are identical, which suggests that the Earth and Moon formed at the same distance from the Sun.
