<h3>The average atomic mass of Iodine : 126.86 amu</h3><h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

80% 127I, 17% 126I, and 3% 128I.

Required

The average atomic mass

Solution

The elements in nature have several types of isotopes

Atomic mass is the average atomic mass of all its isotopes

Mass atom X = mass isotope 1 . % + mass isotope 2.% + ... mass isotope n.%

Atomic mass of Iodine = 0.8 x 127 + 0.17 x 126 + 0.03 x 128

Atomic mass of Iodine = 101.6 + 21.42 + 3.84

Atomic mass of Iodine = 126.86 amu

When 6.85×10⁵ cal is converted to kilojoules, the result obtained is 2866.04 KJ

<h3>Data obtained from the question </h3>

Energy (cal) = 6.85×10⁵ cal
Energy (KJ) =?

<h3>Conversion scale </h3>

1 cal = 0.004184 KJ

<h3>How to convert 6.85×10⁵ cal to kilojoules</h3>

1 cal = 0.004184 KJ

Therefore,

6.85×10⁵ cal = 6.85×10⁵ × 0.004184

6.85×10⁵ cal = 2866.04 KJ

Thus, 6.85×10⁵ cal is equivalent to 2866.04 KJ

1. What is the potential energy of a 8 kg ball that is at a height of 20 m?

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

1. 1568 J

2. 0 J

3. 1176 J

Explanation:

PE = mgh

(PE = Potential Energy) = (m = mass)(g = gravitational force which is 9.8)(h = height)

1. (3)(9.8)(20) = 1568 J

2. PE = (3)(9.8)(0) = 0 J

3. (5)(9.8)(24) = 1176 J

Match each transition metal ion with its condensed ground-state electron configuration. A [Ar]3d2 B [Ar]4s23d3 C [Kr]4d10 D [Xe]

madreJ [45]

Answer:

$Mn^{2+}$ : - F . $[Ar]3d^{5}$

$Hg^{2+}$ : - G. $[Xe]4f^{14}5d^{10}$

$La^{3+}$ : - D. $[Xe]$

$Fe^{3+}$ : - F. $[Ar]3d^{5}$

$Ag^{+}$ : - C. $[Kr]4d^{10}$

$Co^{3+}$ : - E. $[Ar]3d^{6}$

Explanation:

The electronic configuration of the element Mn is:-

$[Ar]3d^{5}4s^2$

For, $Mn^{2+}$ , 2 electrons are lost, thus the configuration is:-

$[Ar]3d^{5}$

The electronic configuration of the element Hg is:-

$[Xe]4f^{14}5d^{10}6s^2$

For, $Hg^{2+}$ , 2 electrons are lost, thus the configuration is:-

$[Xe]4f^{14}5d^{10}$

The electronic configuration of the element La is:-

$[Xe]5d^{1}6s^2$

For, $La^{3+}$ , 3 electrons are lost, thus the configuration is:-

$[Xe]$

The electronic configuration of the element Fe is:-

$[Ar]3d^{6}4s^2$

For, $Fe^{3+}$ , 3 electrons are lost, thus the configuration is:-

$[Ar]3d^{5}$

The electronic configuration of the element Ag is:-

$[Kr]4d^{10}5s^1$

For, $Ag^{+}$ , 1 electron is lost, thus the configuration is:-

$[Kr]4d^{10}$

The electronic configuration of the element Co is:-

$[Ar]3d^{7}4s^2$

For, $Co^{3+}$ , 3 electrons are lost, thus the configuration is:-

$[Ar]3d^{6}$
