Answer:

265.2amu

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Atomic mass  = 254.9amu

Abundance of isotope 1 = 72%

Atomic mass of isotope 1  = 250.9amu

Abundance of isotope 2  = 100  - 72  = 28%

Unknown:

Atomic mass of isotope 2 = ?

Solution:

To find the atomic mass of isotope 2, use the expression below:

Atomic mass = (abundance of isotope 1 x atomic mass of isotope 1) + (abundance of isotope 2 x atomic mass of isotope 2)

 Now insert the parameters and find the unknown;

  254.9  = (0.72 x 250.9)  + (0.28 x Atomic mass of isotope 2)

 254.9  = 180.648 + 0.28x atomic mass of isotope 2

 254.9 - 180.648  = 0.28x atomic mass of isotope 2

    74.25  = 0.28 x atomic mass of isotope 2

    Atomic mass of isotope 2 = 265.2amu

Calculate the mass of hydrogen in 500 g of Al(C2H3O2)3
Zigmanuir [339]
<span>Answer is: the mass of hydrogen is 22,05 grams.
m(</span>Al(C₂H₃O₂)₃)<span> = 500 g.
M</span>(Al(C₂H₃O₂)₃) = 27 + 6 ·12 + 9 · 1 + 6 · 16 · g/mol = 204 g/mol.<span>
n</span>(Al(C₂H₃O₂)₃) = m(Al(C₂H₃O₂)₃) ÷ M(Al(C₂H₃O₂)₃).
n(Al(C₂H₃O₂)₃) = 500 g ÷ 204 g/mol.
n(Al(C₂H₃O₂)₃) = 2,45 mol.
n(Al(C₂H₃O₂)₃) : n(H) = 1 : 9.
n(H) = 22,05 mol.
m(H) = 22,05 mol · 1 g/mol
m(H) = 22,05 g.

Give the volume indicated. Be sure to include all significant figures.
miskamm [114]

Answer: -

71

Explanation: -

From the diagram, we see that volume goes from 70 to 75 in 5 markings.

Each marking is for 1.

It is the most accuracy possible as there is no smaller marking.

Significant figures expresses the required amount of accuracy.

Thus the volume indicated from the diagram is 71 .

Air at 25°C with a dew point of 10 °C enters a humidifier. The air leaving the unit has an absolute humidity of 0.07 kg of water
madreJ [45]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

         Temperature of dry bulb of air = 25^{o}C

          Dew point = 10^{o}C = (10 + 273) K = 283 K

At the dew point temperature, the first drop of water condenses out of air and then,

        Partial pressure of water vapor (P_{a}) = vapor pressure of water at a given temperature (P^{s}_{a})

Using Antoine's equation we get the following.

            ln (P^{s}_{a}) = 16.26205 - \frac{3799.887}{T(K) - 46.854}

            ln (P^{s}_{a}) = 16.26205 - \frac{3799.887}{283 - 46.854}

                               = 0.17079

                   P^{s}_{a} = 1.18624 kPa

As total pressure (P_{t}) = atmospheric pressure = 760 mm Hg

                                   = 101..325 kPa

The absolute humidity of inlet air = \frac{P^{s}_{a}}{P_{t} - P^{s}_{a}} \times \frac{18 kg H_{2}O}{29 \text{kg dry air}}

                  \frac{1.18624}{101.325 - 1.18624} \times \frac{18 kg H_{2}O}{29 \text{kg dry air}}

                 = 0.00735 kg H_{2}O/ kg dry air

Hence, air leaving the humidifier has a has an absolute humidity (%) of 0.07 kg H_{2}O/ kg dry air.

Therefore, amount of water evaporated for every 1 kg dry air entering the humidifier is as follows.

                 0.07 kg - 0.00735 kg

              = 0.06265 kg H_{2}O for every 1 kg dry air

Hence, calculate the amount of water evaporated for every 100 kg of dry air as follows.

                0.06265 kg \times 100

                  = 6.265 kg

Thus, we can conclude that kg of water the must be evaporated into the air for every 100 kg of dry air entering the unit is 6.265 kg.

Why does the concentration of a product increase as the amount of the reactant decreases? (More 10+ pt questions on profile)
skad [1K]
As reactant concentration decreases, the forward. reaction slows. As product concentration increases, the reverse reaction becomes faster. The forward. reaction will continue to slow and the reverse reaction will continue to increase until they are the same.Then the situation will be at equilibrium.
