Answer:
d. 99.63% and 0.364%, respectively
Explanation:
The average mass of a nitrogen atom is 14.006 amu
14N-14.00307 amu with 0.9963 fractional abundance
1SN- 15.000108 amu with 0.00364 fractional abundance.
The relative abundance definition in chemistry is the percentage of a particular isotope that occurs in nature. The atomic mass listed for an element on the periodic table is an average mass of all known isotopes of that element.
In this problem, the fractional abundance has areaady been given. All we need to do now is convert them to percentage abundance.
14N-14.00307 = 0.9963* 100% = 99.63%
1SN- 15.000108 = 0.00364 * 100% = 0.364%
Answer: 0.035 moles FeF3 or 3.5x10-² moles FeF3
Explanation: 1 mole of FeF3 is equal to its molar mass ( 113g FeF3)
4.0g FeF3 x 1 mole FeF3 / 113 g FeF3 = 0.035 moles of FeF3
Answer:
In order to determine the rate at which the sediment layers were deposited
Explanation:
Iridium is an important element that belongs to the Platinum group and they are dominantly present in the asteroids and comets. They are the key evidence that suggests the occurrence of an asteroidal impact or a mass extinction event that has taken place in the geological past.
The presence of Iridium mixed with the clay sediments in the boundary between the Cretaceous and Tertiary (K-T boundary) suggested the mass extinction event that wiped out numerous life forms from the earth.
The famous scientist Dr. Luis Walter Alvarez suggested measuring the concentration of Iridium in this K-T boundary in order to determine the rate at which these sediment layers were deposited. They were able to determine that these Iridium elements were present due to the asteroid impact on earth, that wiped out the dinosaurs from the earth. They also considered that this element can be produced from the eruptions of volcanoes.
