Answer:

The molar mass is the mass of a given chemical element or chemical compound (g) divided by the amount of substance (mol). The molar mass of a compound can be calculated by adding the standard atomic masses (in g/mol) of the constituent atoms.

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 %

Boyles Law P1V1 = P2V2

arsen [322]

Answer:

A. The balloons will increase to twice their original volume.

Explanation:

Boyle's law states that the pressure exerted on a gas is inversely proportional to the volume occupied by the gas at constant temperature. That is:

P ∝ 1/V

P = k/V

PV = k (constant)
