A hypothetical element has an atomic weight of 48.68 amu. It consists of three isotopes having masses of 47.00 amu, 48.00 amu, a

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer : The percent abundance of the heaviest isotope is, 78 %

Explanation :

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

Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:

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

As we are given that,

Average atomic mass = 48.68 amu

Mass of heaviest-weight isotope = 49.00 amu

Let the percentage abundance of heaviest-weight isotope = x %

Fractional abundance of heaviest-weight isotope = $\frac{x}{100}$

Mass of lightest-weight isotope = 47.00 amu

Percentage abundance of lightest-weight isotope = 10 %

Fractional abundance of lightest-weight isotope = $\frac{10}{100}$

Mass of middle-weight isotope = 48.00 amu

Percentage abundance of middle-weight isotope = [100 - (x + 10)] % = (90 - x) %

Fractional abundance of middle-weight isotope = $\frac{(90-x)}{100}$

Now put all the given values in above formula, we get:

$48.68=[(47.0\times \frac{10}{100})+(48.0\times \frac{(90-x)}{100})+(49.0\times \frac{x}{100})]$

$x=78\%$

Therefore, the percent abundance of the heaviest isotope is, 78 %

Given the following Babnced equation 4NH3 +5O2>

igor_vitrenko [27]

4NH3 + 5O2 ==> 4NO + 6H2O Balanced equation
ALWAYS WORK IN MOLES, NOT IN GRAMS
moles of NO produced = 70.5 g NO x 1 mole/30 g = 2.35 moles NO
Since this represents only a 29.8% yield, find what 100% yield would be:
2.35 moles/0.298 = 7.89 moles of NO
From the balanced equation 4 moles NH3 produces 4 moles of NO. Calculate moles of NH3 needed:
7.89 moles NO x 4 moles NH3/4 moles NO = 7.89 moles NH3 needed
Find grams of NH3 needed:
7.89 moles NH3 x 17 g/mole = 134 g NH3 needed

How can an abiotic factor affect a biotic factor

xenn [34]

Biotic and abiotic factors are the environmental conditions that the organisms have to face to live in a specified environment.

-Abiotic factors-
Abiotic factors are the physical and chemical conditions of an environment. For example : heat, salinity, pressure, light, wind, pH ...

-Biotic factors-
Biotic factors are all the biological conditions of an environment for a specie/taxa. It can include prey and predator abundance, available food amount, available space, intra and interspecific competition...

The development of organims is under the control of abiotic factors. Some are adapted to heat, cold etc ... The abiotic factors will define which organisms are able or not to live in a specified place.

The living organisms will constitute the biotic factors, which define if and how can an organism live in a specified environment.
So, the abiotic factors are controling the biotic factors of an environment.

Hope it helps you !

A metal pellet with a mass of 100.0 g, originally at 116°C, is dropped into a cup of water, initially at

Alina [70]

Answer:

C, 42g

Explanation:

In thermal equilibrium, both bodies (metal pellet and water) both have the same final temperature (46.3°C).

Assuming no heat is lost to surroundings,

the energy lost from metal pellet = energy gained for water

Since E = mc∆T

(energy = mass x specific heat capacity x temperature change)

mc∆T (metal pellet) = mc∆T (water)

100 x 0.568 x (116-46.3) = m 4.184 (46.3 - 23.8)

3958.96 = 94.14m

m = 42g
