Nata [24]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass defect for the formation of phosphorus-31 is 0.27399

<u>Explanation:</u>

Mass defect is defined as the difference in the mass of an isotope and its mass number.

The equation used to calculate mass defect follows:

$\Delta m=[(n_p\times m_p)+(n_n\times m_n)]-M$

where,

$n_p$ = number of protons

$m_p$ = mass of one proton

$n_n$ = number of neutrons

$m_n$ = mass of one neutron

M = mass number of element

We are given:

An isotope of phosphorus which is $_{15}^{31}\textrm{P}$

Number of protons = atomic number = 15

Number of neutrons = Mass number - atomic number = 31 - 15 = 16

Mass of proton = 1.00728 amu

Mass of neutron = 1.00866 amu

Mass number of phosphorus = 30.973765 amu

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\Delta m=[(15\times 1.00728)+(16\times 1.00866)]-30.973765\\\\\Delta m=0.27399$

Hence, the mass defect for the formation of phosphorus-31 is 0.27399

A sample of 1.000 g of a compound containing carbon and hydrogen reacts with oxygen at elevated temperature to yield 0.692 g H₂O

ollegr [7]

Answer :

(a) 1.000 g of compound containing carbon and hydrogen is, 0.922 g and 0.0769 g respectively.

(b) There is no other element present in the compound.

Explanation :

(a) Now we have to determine the masses of C and H in the sample.

The chemical equation for the combustion of hydrocarbon having carbon, hydrogen and oxygen follows:

$C_xH_y+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

where, 'x' and 'y' are the subscripts of Carbon and hydrogen respectively.

We are given:

Mass of $CO_2=3.381g$

Mass of $H_2O=0.692g$

We know that:

Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44 g/mol

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

For calculating the mass of carbon:

In 44 g of carbon dioxide, 12 g of carbon is contained.

So, in 3.381 g of carbon dioxide, $\frac{12}{44}\times 3.381=0.922g$ of carbon will be contained.

For calculating the mass of hydrogen:

In 18 g of water, 2 g of hydrogen is contained.

So, in 0.692 g of water, $\frac{2}{18}\times 0.692=0.0769g$ of hydrogen will be contained.

Thus, 1.000 g of compound containing carbon and hydrogen is, 0.922 g and 0.0769 g respectively.

(b) Now we have to determine the compound contain any other elements or not.

Mass carbon + Mass of hydrogen = 0.922 g + 0.0769 g = 0.999 g ≈ 1 g

This means that there is no other element present in the compound.

How is molarity measured

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Molarity (m) is defined as the number of moles to solute (n) the volume (v) of the solution in liters is important to note that the molarity is defined as moles of solute per liter of solution not moles of solute per liter of solute.
