Oxygen is composed of three isotopes: oxygen-16, oxygen-17 and oxygen-18 and has an average atomic mass of 15.9982 amu. Oxygen-1

7 has a mass of 16.988 amu and makes up 0.032% of oxygen. Oxygen-16 has a mass of 15.972 amu and oxygen-18 has a mass of 17.970 amu. What is the percent abundance of oxygen-18?

Answer:

The percent abundance of oxygen-18 is 1.9066%.

Explanation:

The average atomic mass of oxygen is given by:

m_{O} = m_{^{16}O}*\%_{16} + m_{^{17}O}*\%_{17} + m_{^{18}O}*\%_{18}

Where:

m: is the atomic mass

%: is the percent abundance

Since the sum of the percent abundance of oxygen isotopes must be equal to 1, we have:  

1 = \%_{16} + \%_{17} + \%_{18}

1 = x + 3.2 \cdot 10^{-4} + \%_{18}

\%_{18} = 1 - x - 3.2 \cdot 10^{-4}

Hence, the percent abundance of O-18 is:  

m_{O} = m_{^{16}O}*\%_{16} + m_{^{17}O}*\%_{17} + m_{^{18}O}*\%_{18}  

15.9982 = 15.972*x + 16.988*3.2 \cdot 10^{-4} + 17.970*(1 - 3.2 \cdot 10^{-4} - x)

x = 0.980614 \times 100 = 98.0614 \%                                                              

Hence, the percent abundance of oxygen-18 is:

\%_{18} = (1 - 3.2 \cdot 10^{-4} - 0.980614) \times 100 = 1.9066 \%                      

Therefore, the percent abundance of oxygen-18 is 1.9066%.

I hope it helps you!

As an EPA scientist studying catalytic converters and urban smog, you want to find Kc for the following reaction: 2NO2(g) ⇋ N2(g
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Kc = 4.774 * 10¹³

Explanation:

the desired reaction is

2 NO₂(g) ⇋ N₂(g) + 2 O₂(g)

Kc =[N₂]*[O₂]² /[NO₂]²

Since

1/2 N₂(g) + 1/2 O₂(g) ⇋ NO(g)

Kc₁= [NO]/(√[N₂]√[O₂]) →  Kc₁²= [NO]²/([N₂][O₂])

and

2 NO₂(g) ⇋ 2 NO(g) + O₂(g)

Kc₂= [NO]²*[O₂]/[NO₂]² →  1/Kc₂= [NO₂]²/([NO]²[O₂])

then

Kc₁²* (1/Kc₂) = [NO]²/([N₂]*[O₂]) *[NO₂]²/([NO]²[O₂])  = [NO₂]²/([N₂]*[O₂]²) = 1/Kc

Kc₁² /Kc₂ = 1/Kc

Kc= Kc₂/Kc₁² =1.1*10⁻⁵/(4.8*10⁻¹⁰)² = 4.774 * 10¹³

To gravimetrically analyze the silver content of a piece of jewelry made from an alloy of Ag and Cu, a student dissolves a small
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Adding a solution containing an anion that forms an insoluble salt with only one of the metal ions.

Explanation:

The student have in solution Ag⁺ and Cu²⁺ ions but he just want to analyze the silver, that means he need to separate ions.

Centrifuging the solution to isolate the heavier ions <em>FALSE </em>Centrifugation allows the separation of a suspension but Ag⁺ and Cu²⁺ are both soluble in water.

Adding enough base solution to bring the pH up to 7.0 <em>FALSE </em>At pH = 7,0 these ions are soluble in water and its separation will not be possible.

Adding a solution containing an anion that forms an insoluble salt with only one of the metal ions <em>TRUE </em>For example, the addition of Cl⁻ will precipitate the Ag⁺ as AgCl(s) allowing its separation.

Evaporating the solution to recover the dissolved nitrates. <em>FALSE</em> . Thus, you will obtain the nitrates of these ions but will be mixed doing impossible its separation.

I hope it helps!
