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!

How long does it take the sun to melt a block of ice at 0∘c with a flat horizontal area 1.0 m2 and thickness 1.8 cm ? assume tha
VLD [36.1K]
This is a problem involving heat transfer through radiation. The solution to this problem would be to use the formula for heat flux.

ΔQ/Δt = (1000 W/m²)∈Acosθ

A is the total surface area:
A = (1 m²) + 4(1.8 cm)(1m/100 cm)(√(1 m²))
A = 1.072 m²

ΔQ is the heat of melting ice.
ΔQ = mΔHfus
Let's find its mass knowing that the density of ice is 916.7 kg/m³.
ΔQ = (916.7 kg/m³)(1 m²)(1.8 cm)(1m/100 cm)(<span>333,550 J/kg)
</span>ΔQ = 5,503,780 J

5,503,780 J/Δt = (1000 W/m²)(0.05)(1.072 m²)(cos 33°)
<em>Δt = 122,434.691 s or 34 hours</em>

What is the percentage yield of O2 if 12.3 g of KClO3 (molar mass 123 g) is decomposed to produce 3.2 g of O2 (molar mass 32 g)
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

The percentage yield of O2 is 66.7%

Explanation:

Reaction for decomposition of potassium chlorate is:

2KClO₃ →  2KCl  +  3O₂

The products are potassium chloride and oxygen.

Let's find out the moles of chlorate.

Mass / Molar mass = Moles

12.3 g / 123 g/mol = 0.1 mol

So ratio is 2:3, 2 moles of chlorate produce 3 mol of oxygen.

Then, 0.1 mol of chlorate may produce (0.1  .3)/ 2 = 0.15 moles

Let's convert the moles of produced oxygen, as to find out the theoretical yield.

0.15 mol . 32 g/ 1mol = 4.8 g

To calculate the percentage yield, the formula is

(Produced Yield / Theoretical yield) . 100 =

(3.2g / 4.8g) . 100 = 66.7 %

Answer:

The number, such as 98.7 FM, of a radio station represents:

  • <u>the frequency in which is transmitted the radio signal</u>.

Explanation:

<em>The radio FM is the modulated frequency, which means that all the information is sent by just a signal, with different frequencies which difference them</em>, <u>the radio FM use the frequencies from 88 MHz until 108 Mhz (MHz is a measuring unit for the frequency), with a minimal space among them of 0.2 MHz</u>, this last means that you could find a signal in 88.0 MHz, and the next should be 88.2 MHz, next 88.4 MHz and so (at least, regularly the space between two frequencies is more than 0.2 MHz).
