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%

Based on the three formulas shown, use one of them to solve for the purple yellow and red box and explain how you did it.

P = 11.133 atm (purple)

T = -236.733 °C(yellow)

n = 0.174 mol(red)

<h3>Further explanation  </h3>

Some of the laws regarding gas, can apply to ideal gas (volume expansion does not occur when the gas is heated),:  

  • Boyle's law at constant T, P = 1 / V  
  • Charles's law, at constant P, V = T  
  • Avogadro's law, at constant P and T, V = n  

So that the three laws can be combined into a single gas equation, the ideal gas equation  

In general, the gas equation can be written  

\large {\boxed {\bold {PV = nRT}}}

where  

P = pressure, atm  

V = volume, liter  

n = number of moles  

R = gas constant = 0.08206 L.atm / mol K  

T = temperature, Kelvin  

To choose the formula used, we refer to the data provided

Because the data provided are temperature, pressure, volume and moles, than we use the formula PV = nRT

  • Purple box

T= 10 +273.15 = 373.15 K

V=5.5 L

n=2 mol

\tt P=\dfrac{nRT}{V}\\\\P=\dfrac{2\times 0.08205\times 373.15}{5.5}\\\\P=11.133~atm

  • Yellow box

V=8.3 L

P=1.8 atm

n=5 mol

\tt T=\dfrac{PV}{nR}\\\\T=\dfrac{1.8\times 8.3}{5\times 0.08205}\\\\T=36.42~K=-236.733^oC

  • Red box

T = 12 + 273.15 = 285.15 K

V=3.4 L

P=1.2 atm

\tt n=\dfrac{PV}{RT}\\\\n=\dfrac{1.2\times 3.4}{0.08205\times 285.15}\\\\n=0.174~mol

Can someone please help????nThis is sooooo hard
Rashid [163]

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

I highly suggest you watch OChem Tutor's videos on IUPAC nomenclature because the actual naming would take a lot of time to teach in text-based format. But here is how to name them:

1) I think there are two seperate pictures for number 1. The molecule on the left is 1-pentene and the one on the right is 4-methyl-1-pentene. If the whole thing is one molecule but there is just a bond missing where the red marker numbers are, that molecule would be 9-methyl-1,6-decadiene.

2) 4-methyl-2-pentene

3) 2,4-octadiene

4) 1,5-nonadiene

5) 2,5-dimethyl-3-hexene

6) 3,6-dimethyl-2,4-heptadiene

7) 2,5,5-trimethyl-2-hexene
