Answer: The atomic weight of the metal would be 85.47.

Explanation:

Mass of isotope 1 of metal = 84.9118

% abundance of isotope 1 of metal = 72.15% = \frac{72.15}{100}

Mass of isotope 2 of metal= 86.9092

% abundance of isotope 2 of metal = 27.85% = \frac{27.85}{100}

Formula used for average atomic mass of an element :

\text{ Average atomic mass of an element}=\sum(\text{atomic mass of an isotopes}\times {{\text { fractional abundance}})

A=\sum[(84.9118)\times \frac{72.15}{100})+(86.9092)\times \frac{27.85}{100}]]

A=85.47

Therefore, the atomic weight of the metal would be 85.47.

Ammonia, NH3, is a typical ingredient in household cleaners. It is produced through a combination reaction involving N2(g) and H
GalinKa [24]
The balanced chemical reaction is:

N2 + 3H2 = 2NH3

We are given the amount of hydrogen gas to be used in the reaction. This will be the starting point of the calculations.

24.0 mol H2 (2 mol NH3 / 3 mol H2 ) = 16 mol NH3

Therefore, ammonia produced from the reaction given is 16 moles.
