Answer:
Average atomic mass = 17.5 amu.
Explanation:
Given data:
X-17 isotope = atomic mass17.2 amu, abundance:78.99%
X-18isotope = atomic mass 18.1 amu, abundance 10.00%
X-19isotope = atomic mass:19.1 amu, abundance: 11.01%
Average atomic mass of X = ?
Solution:
Average atomic mass = (abundance of 1st isotope × its atomic mass) +(abundance of 2nd isotope × its atomic mass) + (abundance of 3rd isotope × its atomic mass) / 100
Average atomic mass = (78.99×17.2)+(10.00×18.1) +(11.01+ 19.1) /100
Average atomic mass = 1358.628 + 181 +210.291 / 100
Average atomic mass = 1749.919 / 100
Average atomic mass = 17.5 amu.
An ideal gas differs from a real gas in that the molecules of an ideal gas have no attraction for one another.
An ideal gas is defined as one in which collisions between atoms or molecules are perfectly elastic and in which there are no inter-molecular attractive forces. A real gas on the other hand is a gas that does not behave as an ideal gas due to interactions between gas molecules. Particles in a real gas have a real volume since real gases are made up of molecules or atoms that typically take up some space even though they are extremely small.
For this item, we need to assume that air behaves like that of an ideal gas. Ideal gases follow the ideal gas law which can be written as follow,
PV = nRT
where P is the pressure,
V is the volume,
n is the number of mols,
R is the universal gas constant, and
T is temperature
In this item, we are to determine first the number of moles, n. We derive the equation,
n = PV /RT
Substitute the given values,
n = (1 atm)(5 x 10³ L) / (0.0821 L.atm/mol.K)(0 + 273.15)
n = 223.08 mols
From the given molar mass, we calculate for the mass of air.
m = (223.08 mols)(28.98 g/mol) = 6464.9 g
<em>ANSWER: 6464.9 g</em>
