Answer:

Suppose that:

Mass of N-14= 14

and Mass of N-15= 15

fraction N-14 x 14 + fraction N-15 x 15 = 14.007

now.. if the fractions were =, that is if fraction N-14 = fraction N-15 = 0.5, then...

0.5 x 14 + 0.5 x 15 = 14.5

more N-15 would make that number larger...

0.3 x 14 + 0.7 x 15 = 14.7

let x = abundance of N-14, then (1-x) = abundance of N-15, and we could solve for x.

(X)x14 + (1-X)x 15 = 14.007

14X + 15 - 15X = 14.007

X = 0.993

the relative abundance of N-14 = 99.3%

the relative abundance of N-15 = 0.7%

So, according to the above explanation N-14 is abundant

Ethanol (c2h5oh) melts at -114Â°c. the enthalpy of fusion is 5.02 kj/mol. the specific heats of solid and liquid ethanol are 0.9

maria [59]

You'll want to add three amounts of heat.

(1) Specific heat of lowering the temperature from -135°C to the melting point -114°C
(2) Latent heat of fusion/melting
(3) Specific heat of elevating the temperature from -114°C to -50°C

(1) E = mCΔT = (25 g)(0.97 J/g·°C)(1 kJ/1000 J)(-114 - -135) = 0.509 kJ
(2) E = mΔH = (25 g)(5.02 kJ/mol)(1 mol/46.07 g ethanol) = 2.724 kJ
(3) E = mCΔT = (25 g)(2.3 J/g·°C)(1 kJ/1000 J)(-50 - -114) = 3.68 kJ

<em>Summing up all energies, the answer is 6.913 kJ.</em>

Suppose you have 100 grams of radioactive plutonium-239 with a half-life of 24,000 years. how many grams of plutonium-239 will r

Alexandra [31]

To solve this problem, let us first calculate for the rate constant k using the half life formula:

t1/2 = ln 2 / k

where t1/2 = half life period = 24,000 years, therefore k is:

k = ln 2 / 24,000

k = 2.89 x 10^-5 / yr

Now we use the rate equation:

A = Ao e^(-k t)

where,

A = mass of Plutonium-239 after number of years

Ao = initial mass of Plutonium-239

t = number of years

A. t = 12,000 years, find A

A = 100g e^(- 2.89 x 10^-5 * 12,000)

A = 70.7 g

B. t = 24,000 years, find A

A = 100g e^(- 2.89 x 10^-5 * 24,000)

A = 50 g

C. t = 96,000 years, find A

A = 100g e^(- 2.89 x 10^-5 * 96,000)
