Answer:

The percent isotopic abundance of Cu-65 is 30.79 %.

The percent isotopic abundance of Cu-63 is 69.21 %.

Explanation:

we know there are two naturally occurring isotopes of carbon, Cu-63 (62.9298 amu) and Cu-65 (64.9278 amu)

First of all we will set the fraction for both isotopes

X for the isotopes having mass 62.9298 amu

1-x for isotopes having mass 64.9278 amu

The average atomic mass of copper is 63.546 amu.

we will use the following equation,

62.9298 x + 64.9278 (1-x) = 63.546

62.9298x + 64.9278 - 64.9278x = 63.546

62.9298x - 64.9278x = 63.546 - 64.9278

-1.998 x = -1.3828

x=-1.3828 / -1.998

x= 0.6921

0.6921 × 100 = 69.21 %

69.21 % is abundance of Cu-63 because we solve the fraction x.

now we will calculate the abundance of Cu-65.

(1-x)

1-0.6921 = 0.3079

0.3079 × 100 = 30.79 %

30.79 % for Cu-65.

In the laboratory a general chemistry student finds that when 2.84 g of KClO4(s) are dissolved in 107.70 g of water, the tempera

vredina [299]

Answer : The enthalpy change of dissolution of $KClO_4$ is 54.3 kJ/mole

Explanation :

Heat released by the reaction = Heat absorbed by the calorimeter + Heat absorbed by the water

$q=[q_1+q_2]$

$q=[c_1\times \Delta T+m_2\times c_2\times \Delta T]$

where,

q = heat released by the reaction

$q_1$ = heat absorbed by the calorimeter

$q_2$ = heat absorbed by the water

$c_1$ = specific heat of calorimeter = $1.55J/^oC$

$c_2$ = specific heat of water = $4.184J/g^oC$

$m_2$ = mass of water = 107.70 g

$\Delta T$ = change in temperature = $T_2-T_1=(22.80-20.34)=2.46^oC$

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

$q=[(1.55J/^oC\times 2.46^oC)+(107.70g\times 4.184J/g^oC\times 2.46^oC)]$

$q=1112.3J=1.1123kJ$

Now we have to calculate the enthalpy change of dissolution of $KClO_4$

$\Delta H=\frac{q}{n}$

where,

$\Delta H$ = enthalpy change = ?

q = heat released = 1.1123 kJ

m = mass of $KClO_4$ = 2.84 g

Molar mass of $KClO_4$ = 138.55 g/mol

$\text{Moles of }KClO_4=\frac{\text{Mass of }KClO_4}{\text{Molar mass of }KClO_4}=\frac{2.84g}{138.55g/mole}=0.0205mole$

$\Delta H=\frac{1.1123kJ}{0.0205mole}=54.3kJ/mole$

Therefore, the enthalpy change of dissolution of $KClO_4$ is 54.3 kJ/mole

A student massed an unknown sample and found it to be 23.5g. The volume of the sample is 2.00mL. Calculate the density

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

The density of the sample is 11.8 g/mL.

Explanation:

We are given an unknown sample with a mass of 23.5 g and a volume of 2.00 mL and we want to determine its density.

Recall that density is given by:

$\displaystyle \rho = \frac{m}{V}$

Where ρ is the density, <em>m</em> is the mass, and <em>V</em> is the volume.

Substitute 23.5 g for <em>m</em> and 2.00 mL for <em>V</em> and evaluate:

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned} \rho & = \frac{m}{V} \\ \\ & = \frac{(23.5\text{ g})}{(2.00 \text{ mL})}\\ \\ & = 11.8 \text{ g/mL}\end{aligned}$

Hence, the density of the sample is 11.8 g/mL.
