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%

Suppose that 0.48 g of water at 25∘C∘C condenses on the surface of a 55-gg block of aluminum that is initially at 25∘C∘C. If the
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer : The final temperature of the metal block is, 25^oC

Explanation :

heat_{absorbed}=heat_{released}

As we know that,  

Q=m\times c\times \Delta T=m\times c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})

m_1\times c_1\times (T_{final}-T_1)=-[m_2\times c_2\times (T_{final}-T_2)]         .................(1)

where,

q = heat absorbed or released

m_1 = mass of aluminum = 55 g

m_2 = mass of water = 0.48 g

T_{final} = final temperature = ?

T_1 = temperature of aluminum = 25^oC

T_2 = temperature of water = 25^oC

c_1 = specific heat of aluminum = 0.900J/g^oC

c_2 = specific heat of water= 4.184J/g^oC

Now put all the given values in equation (1), we get

55g\times 0.900J/g^oC\times (T_{final}-25)^oC=-[0.48g\times 4.184J/g^oC\times (T_{final}-25)^oC]

T_{final}=25^oC

Thus, the final temperature of the metal block is, 25^oC

Relation between glancing and angle of deviation<br>​
shtirl [24]

Answer:

the Glancing angle is the angle between the incident ray and plane mirror which is 90o in the given case. The angle between the direction of the incident ray and the reflected ray is the angle of deviation. Since the angle of deviation for a plane mirror is twice the glancing angle, the angle of deviation is 1800.

Select all the correct statements, there is more than one.
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

Experiments to determine mechanisms involve looking at indirect evidence to help support or disprove a proposed mechanism.

Most intermediates are not typically isolated to determine reaction mechanisms.

Carbocations are very reactive and are typically not isolated for analysis.

Scientists can prove that a specific mechanism exists.

Evidence of intermediates sometimes can be seen using techniques such as nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy

Explanation:

The study of reaction mechanism and chemical kinetics often form the main thrust of study in organic, inorganic and physical chemistry.

We often want to know the actual processes involved in the conversion of one specie to another. Unfortunately, this information may have to be obtained indirectly by certain chemical reactions or by the use of new instrumental methods such as nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

Many organic reactions have carbocation intermediates. These carbocations are relatively short-lived and are transient intermediates which are rarely isolated unless they are isolated in a molecular cage using a macromolecule or in superacids.

By intensive study, scientists can proof or disprove the authenticity of any proposed mechanism.

We must know that a transition state has partial bonds. It is often an extremely short-lived specie which cannot be isolated.
