Answer:

40.06 amu.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Isotope A (K-39)

Mass of A = 39 amu

Abundance of A = 23%

Isotope B (K-40)

Mass of B = 40 amu

Abundance of B = 48%

Isotope C (K-41)

Mass of C = 41 amu

Abundance of C = 100 – (23 + 48)

Abundance of C = 100 – 71

Abundance of C = 29%

Average mass =?

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

= [(39 × 23)/100] + [(40 × 48)/100] + [(41 × 29)/100]

= 8.97 + 19.2 + 11.89

= 40.06 amu

Thus, the average mass of potassium is 40.06 amu

When the fuel mixture contained in a 1.49 l tank, stored at 750 mmhg and 298 k, undergoes complete combustion, how much heat is
Ket [755]
Get to know first how many moles in the gas:n = pV/RT= (1.013*10^5*750/760) Pa *1.49*10^-3 m^3/(8.314 J/(molK)*298) n = 0.0601 moles. 
The combustion energies  are  889 kJ/mol (methane) and 2 220 kJ (propane) x = moles methane, y = moles propane 
x*889 + y*2220 = 778 x + y = 0.0601----------- x = 0.267784 moles = 0.267784*100/0.0601 = 44.6 % y = 0.243216 moles = 0.243216*100/0.0601 = 55.4 %

A quantity of 85.0 mL of 0.900 M HCl is mixed with 85.0 mL of 0.900 M KOH in a constant-pressure calorimeter that has a heat cap
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

There is a 1:1 neutralization reaction,  so, number of moles:

0.085 l * 0.900 mol/ L = 0.0765 mol HCL

The heat produced:  0.0765 mol * -56.2 kJ/mol = -4.229 kJ (this is the heat of neutralization)

Change in temperature:    The mass to use in the equation Q=cmT.  

4229 J / (4.186 J/gC*170 g) = 6.042 C

Add to the initial temperature:

18.24 + 6.042 = 24.29 C°

A curve showing the relationship between temperature and time for a given amount of liquid heated a constant rate is a _________
svlad2 [7]
Answer: A curve showing the relationship between temperature and time for a given amount of liquid heated at constant rate is a heating curve.

This is the option a. heating.

The increase of temperatue as result of heating may be ploted to show the changes. This increase of temperature related with the heat depends of the heat capacity of the substance. For a fixed amount of heat, substances with high heat capacity exhibit a lower increase in temperature than substances with low heat capacity.
