Answer:

Average atomic mass of chlorine is 35.48 amu.

Explanation:

Given data:

Percent abundance of Cl-35 = 76%

Percent abundance of Cl-37 = 24%

Average atomic mass = ?

Solution:

Average atomic mass = (abundance of 1st isotope × its atomic mass) +(abundance of 2nd isotope × its atomic mass) / 100

Average atomic mass = (76×35)+(24×37) /100

Average atomic mass = 2660 + 888 / 100

Average atomic mass = 3548/ 100

Average atomic mass = 35.48 amu

Average atomic mass of chlorine is 35.48 amu.

Calculate the acid dissociation constant Ka of a 0.2 M solution of weak acid that is 0.1% ionized is ________.

mars1129 [50]

Answer: acid dissociation constant Ka= 2.00×10^-7

Explanation:

For the reaction

HA + H20. ----> H3O+ A-

Initially: C. 0. 0

After : C-Cx. Cx. Cx

Ka= [H3O+][A-]/[HA]

Ka= Cx × Cx/C-Cx

Ka= C²X²/C(1-x)

Ka= Cx²/1-x

Where x is degree of dissociation = 0.1% = 0.001 and c is the concentration =0.2

Ka= 0.2(0.001²)/(1-0.001)

Ka= 2.00×10^-7

Therefore the dissociation constant is

2.00×10^-7

How to do limiting reagents for chemistry?

gavmur [86]

Balance the chemical equation for the chemical reaction.
Convert the given information into moles.
Use stoichiometry for each individual reactant to find the mass of product produced.
The reactant that produces a lesser amount of product is the limiting reagent.
The reactant that produces a larger amount of product is the excess reagent.
To find the amount of remaining excess reactant, subtract the mass of excess reagent consumed from the total mass of excess reagent given.

What is the mass of solute in a 500 mL solution of 0.200 M

Fofino [41]

16.4 grams is the mass of solute in a 500 mL solution of 0.200 M .

sodium phosphate

Explanation:

Given data about sodium phosphate

atomic mass of Na3PO4 = 164 grams/mole

volume of the solution = 500 ml or 0.5 litres

molarity of sodium phosphate solution = 0.200 M

The formula for molarity will be used here to know the mass dissolved in the given volume of the solution:

The formula is

molarity = $\frac{number of moles of solute}{volume in litres}$

putting the values in the equation, we get

molarity x volume = number of moles

0.200 X 0.5= number of moles

number of moles = 0.1 moles

Atomic mass x number of moles = mass

putting the values in the above equation

164 x 0.1 = 16.4 grams

16.4 grams of sodium phosphate is present in 0.5 L of the solution to make a 0.2 M solution.
