Answer: The element represented by M is Strontium.

Explanation:

Let us consider the molar mass of metal be 'x'.

The molar mass of MO will be = Molar mass of oxygen + Molar mass of metal = (16 + x)g/mol

It is given in the question that 15.44% of oxygen is present in metal oxide. So, the equation becomes:

$\frac{15.44}{100}\times (x+16)=16g/mol\\\\(x+16)=\frac{16g/mol\times 100}{15.44}\\\\x=(103.626-16)g/mol\\\\x=87.62g/mol$

The metal atom having molar mass as 87.62/mol is Strontium.

Hence, the element represented by M is Strontium.

The metal present in the given metal oxide is strontium and its atomic symbol is $\boxed{{\text{Sr}}}$ .

Further explanation:

Mole is the measure of the amount of substance. Mole is the relation between the mass of the substance and molar mass of a substance. It is defined as the mass of a substance in grams divided by its molar mass (g/mol).

The expresion to calculate the number of moles is as follows:

${\text{Number of moles}}\;=\;\dfrac{{{\text{Given mass}}\left( {\text{g}}\right)}}{{{\text{molar mass}}\left({{\text{g/mol}}}\right)}}$ ...... (1)

The given metal oxide MO contains 15.44 % oxygen, it means that 100 g of metal oxide MO contains 15.44 g of oxygen. The amount of metal present in 100 g of metal oxide is,

$\begin{aligned\text{Mass of metal}}\left( {\text{g}} \right)&=\left( {{\text{mass of metal oxide}}} \right)-\left( {{\text{mass of oxygen}}}\right)\\&=100{\text{ g}}-{\text{15}}{\text{.44 g}}\\&={\text{84}}{\text{.66 g}}\\\end{aligned}$

The number of moles of oxygen in 100 g of metal oxide can be calculated by dividing mass of oxygen with molar mass of oxygen.

$\begin{aligned}{\text{Number of moles}}\;&=\;\frac{{{\text{mass}}\left( {\text{g}} \right){\text{ of }}{{\text{O}}_2}}}{{{\text{molar mass}}\left( {{\text{g/mol}}} \right){\text{ of }}{{\text{O}}_2}}}\\&=\frac{{{\text{15}}{\text{.44 g}}}}{{16{\text{ g/mol}}}}\\&=0.965{\text{ mol}}\\\end{aligned}$

According to the molecular formula of metal oxide MO, 1 mole of metal oxide contains 1 mole of oxygen and 1 mole of metal. Therefore, the number of moles of metal present in given metal oxide must be 0.965 moles.

The molar mass of metal can be calculated as follow:

$\begin{aligned}{\text{Molar mass}}\left({{\text{g/mol}}}\right)&= \;\frac{{{\text{mass}}\left( {\text{g}} \right){\text{ of metal}}}}{{{\text{number of moles}}\left( {{\text{mol}}} \right)\;{\text{of metal}}}}\\&=\frac{{84.66{\text{ g}}}}{{0.965{\text{ mol}}}}\\&=87.7\,{\text{g/mol}}\\\end{aligned}$

According to the periodic table metal which has a molar mass approximately 87.7 g is strontium (Sr). Hence the metal oxide is strontium oxide.

Write a balanced equation for the transmutation that occurs when a scandium-48 nucleus undergoes beta decay.

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

A scandium-48 nucleus undergoes beta-minus decay to produce a titanium-48 nucleus.

$\rm ^{48}_{21}Sc \to ^{48}_{22}Ti + ^{\phantom{1}\,0}_{-1}e^{-} + \bar{\mathnormal{v}}_e$ .

Explanation:

There are two types of beta decay modes: beta-minus and beta-plus.

In both decay modes, the mass number of the nucleus stays the same.

However, in a beta-minus decay, the atomic number of the nucleus increases by one. In a beta-plus decay, the atomic number decreases by one.

Each beta-minus decay releases one electron and one electron antineutrino. Each beta-plus decay releases one positron and one electron neutrino.

Look up the atomic number and relative atomic mass for the element scandium.

The atomic number of $\rm Sc$ is $21$ .
The relative atomic mass of $\rm Sc$ is approximately $45.0$ .

This question did not specify whether the decay here is beta-plus or a beta-minus. However, the relative atomic mass of this element can give a rough estimate of the mode of decay.

Each element (e.g, $\rm Sc$ ) can have multiple isotopes. These isotopes differ in mass. The relative atomic mass of an element is an average across all isotopes of this element. This mass is weighted based on the relative abundance of the isotopes. Its value should be closest to the most stable (and hence the most abundant) isotope.

The mass number of scandium-48 is significantly larger than the relative atomic mass of this element. In other words, this isotope contains more neutrons than isotopes that are more stable. There's a tendency for that neutron to convert to a proton- by beta-minus decay, for example.

The atomic number of the nucleus will increase by 1. $21 + 1 = 22$ . That corresponds to titanium. The mass number stays the same at $48$ . Hence the daughter nucleus would be titanium-48. Note that two other particles: one electron and one electron $\rm e^{-}$ and one antineutrino $\bar{v}_{\text{e}}$ (note the bar.) The neutrino helps balance the lepton number of this reaction.

32.7 grams of water vapor takes up how many liters at standard temperature and pressure (273 K and 100 kPa)?

kotegsom [21]

Under standard temperature and pressure conditions, it is known that 1 mole of a gas occupies 22.4 liters.

From the periodic table:
molar mass of oxygen = 16 gm
molar mass of hydrogen = 1 gm
Thus, the molar mass of water vapor = 2(1) + 16 = 18 gm

18 gm of water occupies 22.4 liters, therefore:
volume occupied by 32.7 gm = (32.7 x 22.4) / 18 = 40.6933 liters

Acetone has a boiling point of 56.5 celcius. How many grams of the acetone vapor would occupy the 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask at 57

vodomira [7]

Answer:

0.515 g

Explanation:

Acetone (C₃H₆O) has a boiling point of 56.5 °C. How many grams of the acetone vapor would occupy the 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask at 57 °C and 730 mmHg?

Step 1: Given data

Temperature (T): 57°C

Pressure (P): 730 mmHg

Volume (V): 250 mL

Step 2: Convert "T" to Kelvin

We will use the following expression.

K = °C + 273.15 = 57°C + 273.15 = 330 K

Step 3: Convert "P" to atm

We will use the conversion factor 1 atm = 760 mmHg.

730 mmHg × (1 atm/760 mmHg) = 0.961 atm

Step 4: Convert "V" to L

We will use the conversion factor 1 L = 1,000 mL.

250 mL × (1 L/1,000 mL) = 0.250 L

Step 5: Calculate the moles (n) of acetone

We will use the ideal gas equation.

P × V = n × R × T

n = P × V/R × T

n = 0.961 atm × 0.250 L/(0.0821 atm.L/mol.K) × 330 K

n = 8.87 × 10⁻³ mol

Step 6: Calculate the mass corresponding to 8.87 × 10⁻³ moles of acetone

The molar mass of acetone is 58.08 g/mol.

8.87 × 10⁻³ mol × 58.08 g/mol = 0.515 g

For a pure substance, the liquid and gaseous phases can only coexist for a single value of the pressure at a given temperature.

anastassius [24]

Answer:

No, it is not.

Explanation:

Most solutions do not behave ideally. Designating two volatile substances as A and B, we can consider the following two cases:

Case 1: If the intermolecular forces between A and B molecules are weaker than those between A molecules and between B molecules, then there is a greater tendency for these molecules to leave the solution than in the case of an ideal solution. Consequently, the vapor pressure of the solution is greater than the sum of the vapor pressures as predicted by Raoult’s law for the same concentration. This behavior gives rise to the positive deviation.

Case 2: If A molecules attract B molecules more strongly than they do their own kind, the vapor pressure of the solution is less than the sum of the vapor pressures as predicted by Raoult’s law. Here we have a negative deviation.

The benzene/toluene system is an exception, since that solution behaves ideally.
