Answer:

The most abundant isotope is 1.007 amu.

Explanation:

Given data:

Average atomic mass = 1.008 amu

Mass of first isotope = 1.007 amu

Mass of 2nd isotope = 2.014 amu

Most abundant isotope = ?

Solution:

First of all we will set the fraction for both isotopes

X for the isotopes having mass  2.014 amu

1-x for isotopes having mass 1.007 amu

The average atomic mass is 1.008 amu

we will use the following equation,

2.014x + 1.007  (1-x) = 1.008  

2.014x + 1.007  - 1.007 x = 1.008  

2.014x - 1.007x  =  1.008  -  1.007

1.007 x = 0.001

x= 0.001/ 1.007

x= 0.0009

0.0009 × 100 = 0.09 %

0.09 % is abundance of isotope having mass  2.014 amu because we solve the fraction x.

now we will calculate the abundance of second isotope.

(1-x)

1-0.0009 = 0.9991

0.9991 × 100= 99.91%

You use 4.98 g of Na2SO4, how many grams of barium sulfate are produced?<br><br> Na2+Ba(NO3)2= ?
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Mass of barium sulfate = 8.17 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of sodium sulfate = 4.98 g

Mass of barium sulfate produced = ?

Solution:

Na₂SO₄ + Ba(NO₃)₂    →   BaSO₄ + 2NaNO₃

Moles of sodium sulfate:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles =4.98 g / 142.04 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.035 mol

Now we will compare the moles pf sodium sulfate and with barium sulfate.

                            Na₂SO₄               :            BaSO₄

                                1                       :              1

                              0.035                :          0.035

Mass of barium sulfate:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass =   0.035 mol ×233.4 g/mol

Mass = 8.17 g
