A newly discovered element, Z, has two naturally occurring isotopes. 90.3 percent of the sample is an isotope with a mass of 267

blsea [12.9K]

atomic mass=percentage of isotope a * mass of isotope a + percentage of isotope b * mass of isotope b+...+percentage of isotope n * mass of isotope n.

Data:
mass of isotope₁=267.8 u
percentage of isotope₁=90.3%

mass of isotope₂=270.9 u
percentage of isotope₂=9.7%

Therefore:

atomic mass=(0.903)(267.8 u)+(0.097)(270.9 u)=
=241.8234 u + 26.2773 u≈268.1 u

Answer: the mass atomic of this element would be 268.1 u

For the reactionN2(g)+O2(g)?2NO(g)classify each of the following actions by whether it causes a leftward shift, a rightward shif

Soloha48 [4]

Answer: Le Chatleir Principle

Explanation: The answer of this question can be easily explanied through the Le Chatleir Principle which states that In order to maintain the equilibrium of the reaction, the stress applied to that particular direction will move the equilibrium to the opposite direction in which the stress has been applied.

The given reaction is -

$N_{2}(g)+O_{2}(g)\rightleftharpoons 2NO(g)$

If the amount of the oxygen is reduced to half and is being doubled, then the reaction will move in froward direction that is a rightward shift. Same situation will arise in option c and d.

If the amount of nitrogen monoxide is reduced to half or being doubled, the reaction will move towards backward direction that is a leftward reaction.
