Consider some unknown compound containing only copper and oxygen. In order to determine the empirical formula, a sample of the c

ompound is decomposed into the elements copper and oxygen. The original sample had a mass of 0.6349g prior to decomposition. After the reaction, 0.5066g of pure copper solid was recovered. How many moles of copper were initially in the sample?

The number of mole of copper in the sample is 0.008 mole.

Mole is simply defined as the unit of amount in a substance.

The mole of a substance can be obtained by dividing the mass of the subtance by its molar mass i.e

Mole = mass / molar mass

With the above information, we can obtain the mole of copper in the compound as follow:

Mass of copper = 0.5066 g

Molar mass of copper = 63.5 g/mol

<h3>Mole of copper =? </h3>

Mole = mass / molar mass

Mole of copper = 0.5066 / 63.5

<h3>Mole of copper = 0.008 mole </h3>

Therefore, 0.008 mole of copper was initially present in the compound.

What is radioactive decay?
swat32

Answer:

Radioactive decay is the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by radiation. A material containing unstable nuclei is considered radioactive. Three of the most common types of decay are alpha decay, beta decay, and gamma decay, all of which involve emitting one or more particles or photons.

21. What is happening in terms of energy and attractive/repulsive forces when atoms come together and
muminat

Answer:

So A covalent bond consists of the mutual sharing of one or more pairs of electrons between two atoms. These electrons are simultaneously attracted by the two atomic nuclei. A covalent bond forms when the difference between the electronegativities of two atoms is too small for an electron transfer to occur to form ions.

Explanation:

words to know: covalent bond, electronegativities, and simultaneously

Covalent Bond: A chemical bond formed when electrons are shared between two atoms. Usually each atom contributes one electron to form a pair of electrons that are shared by both atoms.

Electronegativities: the degree to which an element tends to gain electrons and form negative ions in chemical reactions.

Simultaneously: at the same time.

The average atomic weight of copper, which has two naturally occurring isotopes, is 63.5. One of the isotopes has an atomic weig
Darya [45]

<u>Answer:</u> The atomic weight of the second isotope is 64.81 amu.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of atomic masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance

Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:

\text{Average atomic mass }=\sum_{i=1}^n\text{(Atomic mass of an isotopes)}_i\times \text{(Fractional abundance})_i     .....(1)

We are given:

Let the mass of isotope 2 be 'x'

Mass of isotope 1 = 62.9 amu

Percentage abundance of isotope 1 = 69.1 %

Fractional abundance of isotope 1 = 0.691

Mass of isotope 2 = 'x'

Percentage abundance of isotope 2 = 30.9%

Fractional abundance of isotope 2 = 0.309

Average atomic mass of copper = 63.5 amu

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Average atomic mass of copper}=[(62.9\times 0.691)+(x\times 0.309)]

x=64.81amu

Hence, the atomic weight of second isotope will be 64.81 amu.
