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

Question 5
pantera1 [17]

Answer: The coefficient for the diatomic oxygen (O2) is 3.

Explanation:

To know the coefficient for the diatomic Oxygen, we need to balance the equation.

Fe + O2 ------->   Fe2O3

LHS of the equation; Fe =  1    , O2 = 1

RHS of the equation; Fe = 2 ,  O = 3

∴ Multiply 'Fe' on the LHS of the equation by 4 and O2 by 3

   Doing that will give the balance equation which is;

   4 Fe +  3 O2  --------> 2 Fe2O3

The coefficient for the diatomic oxygen (O2) as seen from the equation is 3.

If a sample of air in a school container was heated, would the percentage of oxygen in the air increase, decrease, or remain unc
Viktor [21]

Answer:

increase

Explanation:

Let's suppose we have a sample of air in a closed container. We heat the container and we want to predict what would happen to the pressure.

According to Gay-Lussac's law, the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature.

Thus, if we increased the temperature of the air by heating it, its pressure would increase.

If a sample of air in a closed container was heated, the total pressure of the air would increase.
