Answer:
4 x 12 +9 x 1= 56
Explanation:
I do not know what the 114.17 g/mol comes from
Knowing the ratio between atoms we can write an empirical formula:
<span>C4H6O </span>
<span>we compute the molar mass of this single formula: </span>
<span>4x12 + 6 x 1 + 16 x1 = 70 g / mol </span>
<span>Now, as we know the actual molar mas being 280 g/mol, we divide this number by 70 and we get the ratio between empirical formula and molecular actual formula: </span>
<span>280 / 70 = 4 </span>
<span>This means that actual molecular formula is: </span>
<span>(C4H6O)4 or </span>
<span>C16H24O4 </span>
Answer:
Rubidium-85=61.2
Rubidium-87=24.36
Atomic Mass=85.56 amu
Explanation:
To find the atomic mass, we must multiply the masses of the isotope by the percent abundance, then add.
<u>Rubidium-85 </u>
This isotope has an abundance of 72%.
Convert 72% to a decimal. Divide by 100 or move the decimal two places to the left.
- 72/100= 0.72 or 72.0 --> 7.2 ---> 0.72
Multiply the mass of the isotope, which is 85, by the abundance as a decimal.
- mass * decimal abundance= 85* 0.72= 61.2
Rubidium-85=61.2
<u>Rubidium-87</u>
This isotope has an abundance of 28%.
Convert 28% to a decimal. Divide by 100 or move the decimal two places to the left.
- 28/100= 0.28 or 28.0 --> 2.8 ---> 0.28
Multiply the mass of the isotope, which is 87, by the abundance as a decimal.
- mass * decimal abundance= 87* 0.28= 24.36
Rubidium-87=24.36
<u>Atomic Mass of Rubidium:</u>
Add the two numbers together.
- Rb-85 (61.2) and Rb-87 (24.36)
Answer:
the correct answer is 17 significant figures
Answer:
The bombarding particle is a Proton
Explanation:
A Nuclear transmutation reaction occurs when radioactive element decay, usually converting them from one element/isotope into another element. Transmutation is the process which causes decay, generally, alpha or beta.
¹⁶₈O(P,alpha) ¹³₇N, can be written as
¹⁶₈O + x goes to ¹³₇N + ⁴₂He
Where x can be anything, balancing the equation in order to give us the correct amount of proton number and nucleus number
16 + x = 13 + 4
x = 17 – 16 = 1, Hence we can say that x = ¹₁P
<u>¹⁶₈O + ¹₁P goes to ¹³₇N + ⁴₂He</u>
Here we can clearly see the bombarding particle is ¹₁P (proton). The ejected particle being ⁴₂He which is also known as an alpha particle
