2.3 Zinc has five naturally occurring isotopes: 48.63% of 64 Zn with an atomic weight of 63.929 amu; 27.90% of 66Zn with an atom

lakkis [162]

Answer: The average atomic mass of element Zinc is 65.40 amu.

Explanation:

Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.

Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:

$\text{Average atomic mass }=\sum_{i=1}^n\text{(Atomic mass of an isotopes)}_i\times \text{(Fractional abundance})_i$ .....(1)

For $_{30}^{64}\textrm{Zn}$ isotope:

Mass of $_{30}^{64}\textrm{Zn}$ isotope = 63.929 amu

Percentage abundance of $_{30}^{64}\textrm{Zn}$ isotope = 48.63 %

Fractional abundance of $_{30}^{64}\textrm{Zn}$ isotope = 0.4863

For $_{30}^{66}\textrm{Zn}$ isotope:

Mass of $_{30}^{66}\textrm{Zn}$ isotope = 65.926 amu

Percentage abundance of $_{30}^{66}\textrm{Zn}$ isotope = 27.90 %

Fractional abundance of $_{30}^{66}\textrm{Zn}$ isotope = 0.2790

For $_{30}^{67}\textrm{Zn}$ isotope:

Mass of $_{30}^{67}\textrm{Zn}$ isotope = 66.927 amu

Percentage abundance of $_{30}^{67}\textrm{Zn}$ isotope = 4.10 %

Fractional abundance of $_{30}^{67}\textrm{Zn}$ isotope = 0.0410

For $_{30}^{68}\textrm{Zn}$ isotope:

Mass of $_{30}^{68}\textrm{Zn}$ isotope = 67.925 amu

Percentage abundance of $_{30}^{68}\textrm{Zn}$ isotope = 18.75 %

Fractional abundance of $_{30}^{68}\textrm{Zn}$ isotope = 0.1875

For $_{30}^{70}\textrm{Zn}$ isotope:

Mass of $_{30}^{70}\textrm{Zn}$ isotope = 69.925 amu

Percentage abundance of $_{30}^{70}\textrm{Zn}$ isotope = 0.62 %

Fractional abundance of $_{30}^{70}\textrm{Zn}$ isotope = 0.0062

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Average atomic mass of Zinc}=[(63.929\times 0.4863)+(65.926\times 0.2790)+(66.927\times 0.0410)+(67.925\times 0.1875)+(69.925\times 0.0062)]$

$\text{Average atomic mass of Zinc}=65.40amu$

Hence, the average atomic mass of element Zinc is 65.40 amu.

Which of the following statements most likely

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Forming a problem requires the scientist to use creativity to imagine new solutions.

Explanation:

Albert Einstein remains a critically prominent figure who conducted remarkable, ground-breaking research that not only formed the foundations of modern physics but also strongly affected the scientific world. It is difficult to teach imagination but it can be harnessed and accepted. Nothing incites our imaginative impulses we love more than the prospect of immediate creative inspiration. And creativity hits its full potential when paired with the experience, insights, and skills people gained by questioning the real-life problems.

Hydrochloric acid reacts faster with powdered zinc than with an equal mass of zinc strips because the greater the surface area o

inysia [295]

Answer:

increases the frequency of particle collisions

Explanation:

One factor upon which the rate of reaction depends is the surface area of reactants.

According to the collision theory, reactions occur when reactant particles having the required (activation) energy collide with each other, this collision is inelastic. However, collision of particles having energies less than the activation energy results in elastic collisions and no chemical reaction.

The more the exposed surface area of reactants, the greater the number of particles that come into contact with each other and the more the chances of frequent effective collisions that lead to reaction.

Thus, powdered zinc reacts faster with hydrochloric acid than zinc strips
