A mass spectrum of an organic compound shows the relative abundances of M to be 40.58% and M 1 to be 7.022%. Assuming the peaks

are caused by 12C and 13C isotopes, determine the number of carbon atoms in the compound. Natural abundances: 12C is 98.93% and 13C is 1.07%

Answer:

The number of carbon atoms in the organic compound is 16.

Explanation:

The relative intensity of M + 1 peak (relative to M = 100) in organic compounds can be predicted by the following formula:

[M + 1] = (number of C x 1.07) ---------------------------------------------------- (1)

This formula can also be used to determine the number of carbon from the given intensity. But first, the intensity of [M + 1] relative to [M] = 100 needs to be determined, for which, consider the following calculations,

[M+1]=(\frac{M+1}{M}) (100)

[M+1]=(\frac{7.022}{40.58}) (100)

[M+1]=17.30

Using equation 1 we get,

number of C=\frac{[M+1]}{1.07}

number of C=\frac{17.3}{1.07}\\number of C = 16.168

or number of C = 16

The remaining value, 0.168, can be due to the isotopes of hydrogen and oxygen in the organic compound.

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

\large \boxed{\text{933 J}}

Explanation:

There are three heat transfers involved.

heat from combustion of propane + heat gained by water + heat gained by calorimeter = 0

  q₁     +     q₂      +       q₃      = 0

m₁ΔH + m₂C₂ΔT + C_calΔT = 0

Data:

 m₁ =      2.1   g

 m₂ = 280     g

   Ti = 25.00 °C

   T_f = 26.55 °C

Ccal = 92.3 J·°C⁻¹

Calculations:

Let's calculate the heats separately.

1. q₁

q₁ = 2.1 g × ΔH = 2.1ΔH g

2. q₂

ΔT = T_f - Ti = 26.55 °C - 25.00 °C = 1.55 °C

q₂ = 280 g × 4.184 J·°C⁻¹ × 1.55 °C = 1816 J

3. q₃

q₃ = 92.3 J·°C⁻¹ × 1.55 °C = 143.1 J

4. ΔH

\begin{array}{rcl}\text{2.1$\Delta$H g +1816 J +143.1 J} & = & 0\\\text{2.1$\Delta$H g +1959 J} & = & 0\\\text{2.1$\Delta$H g}& = & \text{-1959 J}\\\Delta H & = & \dfrac{\text{-1959 J}}{\text{2.1 g}}\\\\& = & \textbf{-933 J/g}\\\end{array}\\\text{The combustion releases $\large \boxed{\textbf{933 J}}$ per gram of fuel burned.}

Buffer consists of undissociated acid (ha) and the ion made by dissociating the acid (a-). How does this system buffer a solutio
docker41 [41]

In buffer solution there is an equilibrium between the acid  HA and its conjugate base A⁻: HA(aq) ⇌ H⁺(aq) + A⁻(aq).

When acid (H⁺ ions) is added to the buffer solution, the equilibrium is shifted to the left, because conjugate base (A⁻) reacts with hydrogen cations from added acid, according to Le Chatelier's principle: H⁺(aq) + A⁻(aq) ⇄ HA(aq). So, the conjugate base (A⁻) consumes some hydrogen cations and pH is not decreasing (less H⁺ ions, higher pH of solution).

A buffer can be defined as a substance that prevents the pH of a solution from changing by either releasing or absorbing H⁺ in a solution.

Buffer is a solution that can resist pH change upon the addition of an acidic or basic components and it is able to neutralize small amounts of added acid or base, pH of the solution is relatively stable

NeTakaya

Answer:

the mass number

Explanation:

Isotopes are numerous forms of one single element. In simple terms, atomic weights are different for the isotopes. Isotopes refer to the atoms that have the same number of protons but different neutron numbers. The physical properties of the isotopes vary because these properties also based on mass. These variations can be used to distinguish isotopes of an element from each other by applying methods such as fractional distillation and diffusion.
