From the periodic table, molecular mass of chlorine is 35.5 gm/mol.
This represents the average atomic mass of chlorine.
Isotope 37Cl has molar mass 37 grams
Isotope 35Cl has molar mass 35 grams

Now, assume that the percentage of abundance of 37Cl is y. This means that the percentage of abundance of 35Cl is 1-y.

We can calculate y as follows:
37y + 35(1-y) = 35.5
37y + 35 - 35y = 35.5
2y = 0.5
y = 0.25

This means that:
the percentage abundance of 37Cl = 0.25 x 100% = 25%
the percentage abundance of 35Cl = (1-0.25) x 100% = 75%

Based on these calculation:
Isotope 35Cl is more abundant.

Aluminum oxide has a composition of 52.9% aluminum and 47.1% oxygen by mass. if 16.4 g of aluminum reacts with oxygen to form al
Dafna1 [17]
The balanced chemical reaction is written as:

4Al + 3O2 = 2Al2O3

To determine the mass of oxygen gas that would react with the given amount of aluminum metal, we use the initial amount and relate this amount to the ratio of the substances from the chemical reaction. We do as follows:

moles Al = 16.4 g ( 1 mol / 26.98 g ) = 0.61 mol Al
moles O2 = 0.61 mol Al ( 3 mol O2 / 4 mol Al ) = 0.46 mol O2
mass O2 = 0.46 mol O2 ( 32.0 g / mol ) = 14.59 g O2

Therefore, to completely react 16.4 grams of aluminum metal we need a minimum of 14.59 grams of oxygen gas.

A cylinder contains 4.0 g of nitrogen gas. A piston compresses the gas to half its initial volume. Afterward, by what factor has
notka56 [123]

Answer:

The mass density will be doubled

Explanation:

  • Density is given by dividing the mass of a substance by its volume.
  • An increase in mass causes an increase in density and vice versa, while a  decrease in volume causes an increase in density and volume.
  • Therefore, when the volume is halved, then the density will be doubled if the mass is kept constant.
  • This has no effect on the number of moles as the mass is constant.

What is the maximum volume of a 0.788 M CaCl2 solution that can be prepared using 85.3 g CaCl2?
Anna11 [10]
Molar mass  CaCl₂ =  110.98 g/mol

Number of moles:

1 mole CaCl₂ ---------> 110.98 g
n mole CaCl2 ---------> 85.3 g

n = 85.3 / 110.98

n = 0.7686 moles of CaCl₂

Volume = ?

M = n / V

0.788 =  0.7686 / V

V = 0.7686 / 0.788

V = 0.975 L

hope this helps!

Write the Lewis structure for ethanol (CH3CH2OH), the alcohol found in alcoholic beverages, then answer the following questions:
hodyreva [135]

Answer :

(1) The number of valence electrons present in the compound is, 20

(2) The number of bonded electrons present in the compound is, 16

(3) The number of lone pair electrons present in the compound is, 4

(4) The number of single bonds present in the compound is, 8

Explanation :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, CH_3CH_2OH

As we know that carbon has '4' valence electrons, hydrogen has '1' valence electrons and oxygen has '6' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in CH_3CH_2OH = 2(4) + 6(1) + 6 = 20

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 16 number of bonding electrons and 4 number of non-bonding electrons or lone pair of electrons.

The Lewis-dot structure of CH_3CH_2OH is shown below.
