The three naturally occurring isotopes of potassium are 39K, 38.963707u; 40K, 39.963999u; and 41K.The percent natural abundances
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

The isotopic mass of 41K is 40.9574 amu

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

The isotopes are:  

39K with an isotopic mass of 38.963707u and natural abundance of 93.2581%

40K with an isotopic mass of 39.963999u

41K wit natural abundance of 6.7302 %

Average atomic mass =39.098 amu  

Step 2: Calculate natural abundance of 40 K

100 % - 93.2581 % - 6.7302 %

100 % = 0.0117 %

Step 3: Calculate isotopic mass of 41K

39.098 = 38.963707 * 0.932581 + 39.963999 * 0.000117 + X * 0.067302

39.098 = 36.33681 + 0.0046758 +  X * 2.067302

X = 40.9574 amu

The isotopic mass of 41K is 40.9574 amu

If a beaker of water and a beaker of acetic acid are at the same elevated temperature, which will cool more quickly to room temp
4vir4ik [10]
The beaker of acetic acid will cool more quickly.

The specific heat capacity of acetic acid is about half that of water.
Thus, it takes twice as much heat gain (or loss) in acetic acid to cause a given change in temperature.
If everything else is constant and heat is being lost at the same rate, the temperature of the acetic acid should drop twice as fast as that of water.

Explain specifically how an electron gives off light in an atom.
exis [7]

Answer:

Then, at some point, these higher energy electrons give up their "extra" energy in the form of a photon of light, and fall back down to their original energy level.

Explanation:

When properly stimulated, electrons in these materials move from a lower level of energy up to a higher level of energy and occupy a different orbital.

Why is it necessary to use models to study submicroscopic objects such as atoms and molecules
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

It is necessary to use models to study sub- microscopic objects such as atoms and molecules because they are too small to be seen.

3. How many moles of HCl are present in 3.70 L of a 2.33 M HCl solution?
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

8.6 mol

Explanation:

number of moles = molar concentration x volume in litre

number of moles = 2.33 M x 3.70 L = 8.6 mol
