Answer:

Lithium is a naturally occurring alkali metal, which living organisms ingest from dietary sources and which is also present in trace amounts in the human body. In much higher concentrations, lithium is effective as a medication for mania and mood swings including manic depressive disorders.

Thallium has two stable isotopes, 203tl and 205tl. knowing that the atomic weight of thallium is 204.4, which isotope is the mor

Elza [17]

You have to figure out a way to write the two unknown abundances in terms of one variable.

The total abundance is 1 (or 100%). So if you say the abundance for the first one is X then the abundance for the second one has to be 1-X (where X is the decimal of the percentage so say 0.8 for 80%).

203(X) + 205(1-X) = 204.4

Then you just solve for X to get the percentage for TI-203.
And then solve for 1-X to get the percentage for TI-205.

After that the higher percentage would be the most abundant.

203x + 205 - 205x = 204.4
-2x + 205 = 204.4
-2x = -0.6

x = 0.3
1-x = 0.7

Then the TI-205 would have the highest percentage and would be the most abundant.

lora16 [44]

Handle of frying pan would be a good use for a nonmetal. A nonmetal is neither a good thermal insulator nor a good electrical conductor. Because it is neither, it can be use as a semiconductor. It does not absorb heat that much that is why it is best in insulating.

What is the pH of a KOH solution that has [H ] = 1. 87 × 10–13 M? What is the pOH of a KOH solution that has [OH− ] = 5. 81 × 10

vlada-n [284]

pH is the hydrogen ion concentration and pOH is the hydroxide ion concentration in the solution. pH KOH is 12.73, pOH KOH is 2.24 and pH NaCl is 7.

pH is the negative log of the hydrogen ion concentration and pOH is the negative log of the hydroxide ion concentration.

The relation between the pH and pOH can be given as, $\rm pOH = 14 - pH$

The pH of KOH can be calculated by the formula,

$\rm pH = \rm -log [H^{+}]$

In the first case, the concentration of the KOH is $1. 87 \times 10^{-13}\;\rm M$

Substituting values in the equation:

$\begin{aligned} \rm pH &= \rm -log [H^{+}]\\\\&= \rm -log [1. 87 \times 10^{-13}\;\rm M ]\\\\&= 12.73\end{aligned}$

Hence, the pH of KOH is 12.73.

<u />

pOH of KOH can be calculated by the formula,

$\rm pOH = \rm -log [OH^{-}]$

The hydroxide concentration of the KOH solution is $5. 81 \times 10^{-3}\;\rm M$

Substituting value in the equation:

$\begin{aligned} \rm pOH &= \rm -log [OH^{-}]\\\\&= \rm -log [5. 81 \times 10^{-3}\;\rm M ]\\\\&= 2.24 \end{aligned}$

Hence, the pOH of KOH is 2.24

<u />

The pH of NaCl can be calculated by the formula,

$\rm pH = \rm -log [H^{+}]$

In the third case, the concentration of the NaCl is $1. 00\times 10^{-7}\;\rm M$

Substituting values in the equation:

$\begin{aligned} \rm pH &= \rm -log [H^{+}]\\\\&= \rm -log [1. 00 \times 10^{-7}\;\rm M ]\\\\&= 7 \end{aligned}$

Hence, the pH of KOH is 7.0.

Therefore, KOH is basic and NaCl is approximately neutral.
