Answer: Sol:-

Data provided in the question is :-

Atomic mass of isotope -1 = 64 amu

Atomic mass of isotope -2 = 66 amu

Atomic mass of isotope -3 = 67 amu

Atomic mass of isotope -4 = 68 amu

Atomic mass of isotope - 5 = 70 amu

Percentage abundace of isotope - 1 = 48.89 %

Percentage abundance of isotope -2 = 27.81 %

Percentage abundance of isotope - 3 = 4.11%

Percentage abundance of isotope-4 = 18.57%

Percentage abundance of isotope - 5 = 0.62 %

Formula used :-

Average atomic mass of an element =[ {(atomic mass of isotope-1 * percentage abundance of isotope-1) + ( atomic mass of isotope-2 * percentage abundance of isotope -2) + ( atomic mass of isotope -3 * percantege abundance of isotope-3 ) + ( atomic mass of isotope-4 * percentage abundance of isotope-4) + (atomic mass of isotope-5 * percentage abundance of isotope-5)} / 100]

Calculation :-

Put all the value in the formula :-

Average atomic mass of an element = [{(64 * 48.89) + (66 * 27.81) + (67 * 4.11) + (68 * 18.57) + (70 * 0.62)} / 100] amu

= [{(3128.96) + (1835.46) +(257.37) + (1262.76) + (43.4)} / 100] amu

= {(6528.04) / 100} amu

= 65.2804 amu

Average atomic mass of an element is = 65.2804 amu

Then this mass is approximatly equal to atomic mass of zinc so this element would be zinc

atomic mass of zinc = 65.38 \approx 65.2804 amu

Scientists use the theory of plate tectonics to understand the reasons volcanoes develop in
Firdavs [7]

Scientists use tectonics plates to understand the plates moving beneath the volcano.

<h3>What are tectonic plates?</h3>

According to the widely recognized scientific hypothesis known as plate tectonics, the Earth's lithosphere is made up of many sizable tectonic plates that have been steadily moving for nearly 3.4 billion years. Our globe would look drastically different if it weren't for plate tectonics. We have a stable climate, mineral and oil deposits, and oceans with a chemical balance that supports life thanks to the continuous recycling of the Earth's crust. Even now, every few hundred million years, it offers evolution a boost. The plates fit tightly against one another and sit on the heated, molten rock of the Earth's mantle like fragments of a broken shell. The plates move as a result of the heat produced by nuclear processes occurring inside the planet.

Predidt the direction and the relative value of the dipole moment of the following bond: C-Cl
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

D. C → Cl electronegativity difference > 0.5

Explanation:

The electro negativity of an atom in a compound refers to its ability to attract the electrons of a bond towards itself.

On the Pauling's scale, carbon has an electro negativity value of 2.55 while that of chlorine is 3.16. The difference in electro negativity between the both atoms is about 0.61.

The dipole is aslways directed towards the more electronegative atom. Hence the direction is ; C → Cl

6. Cuando se oxidan en el aire 12,120 g de vapor de Zinc se obtienen 15,084 g del óxido. ¿Cuál es la fórmula empírica del óxido?
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

 12120 g  +    O2        =    15084 g

m Zn = 12.120 Kg

m óxido = 15.084 Kg

1. calcular la masa de cinc en gramos

g = 12,120 Kg x 1000 = 12120 g de cinc

g = 15.084 Kg x 100 = 15084 g de oxígeno

2.  calcular gramos de Oxigeno

g O = 15084 g - 12120 g = 2964 g O2

3. calcular % de Zn y O

%m/m ( m soluto / m solc.) x 100

%m/m (Zn) =  ( 1210 g / 15084 g ) x 100

% m/m (Zn) = 80.35 % = 80.35 g

%m/m (O) =  ( 2964 g / 15084 g ) x 100

% m/m (Zn) = 19.65 %  = 19.65 g

4. Calcular moles de cada elemento

Zn: 80.35 g / 65.38 g/mol = 1.228 mol

O: 19.65 g / 16 g/mol = 1.228 mol

5. dividir entre el menor de los elementos

Zn: 1.228 mol / 1.228 mol = 1

O: 1.228 mol / 1.228 mol = 1

6. Fórmula empírica: ZnO
