Rubidium is a soft, silvery-white metal that has two common isotopes, 85Rb and 87Rb. If the abundance of 85Rb is 80% and the abundance of 87Rb is 19.8%, what is the average atomic mass of Rubidium?

Answers

Answer 1

The average atomic mass of Rubidium : 85.226 u

Further explanation  

Isotopes are atoms whose no-atom has the same number of protons while still having a different number of neutrons.  

So Isotopes are elements that have the same Atomic Number (Proton)  

Atomic mass is the average atomic mass of all its isotopes  

In determining the mass of an atom, as a standard is the mass of 1 carbon-12 atom whose mass is 12 amu  

Mass atom X = mass isotope 1 . % + mass isotope 2.%  

The abundance of 85Rb is 80% and the abundance of 87Rb is 19.8%, so the average atomic mass of Rubidium :

[tex]\tt the~average~atomic~mass=0.8\times 85+0.198\times 87\\\\the~average~atomic~mass=\boxed{\bold{85.226~u}}[/tex]

Provide your answer in the following format: [element name], [chemical family]

Answers

Answer: Bismuth (Bi) , Nitrogen family

Explanation:

As the element has 5 valence electrons in the sixth energy level, which mens it belongs to 6th period as the valence electron has entered the 6th energy level.

Now as the electrons are  filled according to afbau's rule , the electronic configuration of the element will be :

[tex][Xe]4f^{14}5d^{10}6s^26p^3[/tex]

Now as the atomic number of element is equal to the number of electrons in a neutral atom , the atomic number is 83 and the element is Bismuth (Bi). As the last electron enters p -subshell , it is  a p block element. It lies in group 15 which is nitrogen family.

A flask contains helium and nitrogen
gases. The partial pressures of each are
77 mm Hg and 87 mm Hg, respectively.
Help Resources
What is the total pressure in the flask mm Hg

Answers

Answer:

P(total) = 164 mmHg

Explanation:

Given data:

Partial pressure of helium = 77 mmHg

Partial pressure of nitrogen = 87 mmHg

Total pressure of flask = ?

Solution:

According to Dalton law of partial pressure,

The total pressure inside container is equal to the sum of partial pressures of individual gases present in container.

Mathematical expression:

P(total) = P₁ + P₂ + P₃+ ............+Pₙ

Now we will solve this  problem by using this law.

P(total) = P(He) + P(N₂)

P(total) =  77 mmHg + 87 mmHg

P(total) = 164 mmHg

The chemical formula for the ionic compound aluminum sulfite is Al2(SO3)3. Explain why there are 2 cations for every 3 anions in this compound.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

While trying to write the chemical formula for a compound (a neutral molecule), one must identify and exchange the charge of the cation with that of the anion to become the subscript of one other. For example

Aluminium oxide has Aluminium (Al) and oxygen (O); since Al has a charge of 3+ (the cation) and O has a charge of 2- (the anion), the compound would have it's charges as Al³⁺O²⁻ and when the charges are exchanged to there subscripts, it would form Al₂O₃; thus there would be two cations of aluminium for every three anions of oxygen in order to have a neutral molecule.

This same explanation can be given to Aluminium sulfite. Aluminium sulfite has Aluminium (Al) and sulfite (SO₃). Al has a charge of 3+ (cation) while sulfite has a charge of 2- (anion), with the compound having it's charges as Al³⁺(SO₃)²⁻ and when the charges are exchanged to there subscripts, it would form Al₂(SO₃)₃ and would thus have 2 cations of aluminium (Al³⁺) for every 3 anions of sulfite (SO₃³⁻) in order to have a neutral molecule.

Why do nonpolar substances tend to be gases and not liquids or solids?

Answers

Answer:

Because the intermolecular interactions are weaker.

Explanation:

Nonpolar substances do not have dipole-dipole or hydrogen bond interactions, which are strong intermolecular interactions that often make the substance liquid or solid. Instead, they must rely on van der Waals forces, which are relatively weaker interactions that are often insufficient to hold the molecules together in liquid or solid form.

The magnitude of intermolecular association in nonpolar substance is much lower than the magnitude of intermolecular association in polar substances.

Polar substances are those substances in which a permanent dipole exists in the molecule. In a molecule having a permanent dipole, the electronegativity difference between the atoms bonded in the molecule is high.

As a result of this high electronegtivity difference between atoms, the molecules interact more intimately hence polar molecules tend to exist mostly as liquids and gases while nonpolar molecules having less intimate intermolecular interaction via dispersion forces exist mostly as gases.

Mesosphere


Danosphere


Exosphere


Troposphere

Answers

Answer:

Mesosphere

Stratosphere

Thermosphere

Troposphere

Exosphere

Explanation:

The exosphere refers to the farthest region of the atmosphere that gradually fades into space.

The troposphere is the lowest layer of atmosphere. It is the layer where weather changes occur.

The thermosphere is right above the mesosphere but just below the exosphere. It is the layer where photoionization/photodissociation of molecules occurs thereby creating ions. This largely owes to interaction of molecules in this layer with ultraviolet radiation.

The stratosphere is composed of gases. Prominent among them is ozone which serves as a blanket against the sun's ionizing radiation.

The mesosphere lies above the stratosphere but just below the thermosphere. Temperature decreases steadily with height in the mesosphere.

What is a way in which nuclear fusion is used?

Answers

Answer:It is a nuclear process, where energy is produced by smashing together light atoms. It is the opposite reaction of fission, where heavy isotopes are split apart.

Explanation Fusion is the process by which the sun and other stars generate light and heat.

It’s most easily achieved on Earth by combining two isotopes of hydrogen: deuterium and tritium. Hydrogen is the lightest of all the elements, being made up of a single proton and a electron. Deuterium has an extra neutron in its nucleus; it can replace one of the hydrogen atoms in H20 to make what is called “heavy water.”

A gas-filled balloon having a volume of 1.00 L at 1.2 atm and 25°C is allowed to rise to the stratosphere (about 30 km above the surface of Earth), where the temperature and pressure are -23°C and 3.00 10-3 atm, respectively. Calculate the final volume of the balloon.

Answers

Answer: The final volume of the balloon is 335.6 L

Explanation:

To calculate the final volume of the balloon, we use the equation given by combined gas law:

[tex]\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}[/tex]

where,

[tex]P_1[/tex] = Initial pressure = 1.2 atm

[tex]P_2[/tex] = Final pressure = [tex]3.00\times 10^{-3}[/tex] atm

[tex]V_1[/tex] = Initial volume = 1.00 L

[tex]V_2[/tex] = Final volume = ?

[tex]T_1[/tex] = Initial temperature = [tex]25^oC=[25+273]=298K[/tex]

[tex]T_2[/tex] = Final temperature = [tex]-23^oC=[-23+273]=250K[/tex]

Putting values in above equation, we get:

[tex]\frac{1.2atm\times 1.00L}{298K}=\frac{3.00\times 10^{-3}atm\times V_2}{250K}\\\\V_2=\frac{1.2\times 1.00\times 250}{298\times 3.00\times 10^{-3}}\\\\V_2=335.6L[/tex]

Hence, the final volume of the balloon is 335.6 L

A gas sample has volume 3.00 dm3 at 101
kPa. What will be the volume if the
pressure is reduced to 14.2 kPa?

Answers

Answer:

21.3dm³

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial volume of gas = 3dm³

Initial pressure  = 101kPa

Final pressure  = 14.2kPa

Unknown

Final volume  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the Boyle's law which states that "the volume of a fixed mass of a gas varies inversely as the pressure changes if the temperature is constant".

Mathematically;

                P₁ V₁  = P₂ V₂

P and V are pressure and Volume

1 and 2 are the initial and final states

Now insert the parameters and solve;

         101 x 3 = 14.2 x V₂  

                  V₂  = 21.3dm³
