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

What is the final temperature of the solution formed when 1.52 g of NaOH is added to 35.5 g of water at 20.1 °C in a calorimeter

Inessa [10]

Answer : The final temperature of the solution in the calorimeter is, $31.0^oC$

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the heat produced.

$\Delta H=\frac{q}{n}$

where,

$\Delta H$ = enthalpy change = -44.5 kJ/mol

q = heat released = ?

m = mass of $NaOH$ = 1.52 g

Molar mass of $NaOH$ = 40 g/mol

$\text{Moles of }NaOH=\frac{\text{Mass of }NaOH}{\text{Molar mass of }NaOH}=\frac{1.52g}{40g/mole}=0.038mole$

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$44.5kJ/mol=\frac{q}{0.038mol}$

$q=1.691kJ$

Now we have to calculate the final temperature of solution in the calorimeter.

$q=m\times c\times (T_2-T_1)$

where,

q = heat produced = 1.691 kJ = 1691 J

m = mass of solution = 1.52 + 35.5 = 37.02 g

c = specific heat capacity of water = $4.18J/g^oC$

$T_1$ = initial temperature = $20.1^oC$

$T_2$ = final temperature = ?

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$1691J=37.02g\times 4.18J/g^oC\times (T_2-20.1)$

$T_2=31.0^oC$

Thus, the final temperature of the solution in the calorimeter is, $31.0^oC$
