The atomic number of bromine is 35 and its atomic weight is 79. Two isotopes of bromine are present in equal amounts. Which of the following statement represents the correct number of neutrons

Answer»

`{:("First ISOTOPE","SECOND isotope"),(34,36):}`
`{:("First isotope","Second isotope"),(44,46):}`
`{:("First isotope","Second isotope"),(45,47):}`

The atomic masses of Li, He and proton are 7.01823 amu, 4.00387 amu and 1.00715 amu respectively. Calculate the energy evolved in the reaction, 3^(Li^(7)) + 1^(H^(1)) rarr 2 2^(He^(4)) + triangle E Given 1 amu = 931 MeV.

Answer»

SOLUTION :Mass of reactants = mass of LI + mass of H
=7.01823 + 1.00715
=8.02358 amu
mass loss during change=(8.02538 -8.00774) amu
=0.01764 amu
`therefore` energy evolvedduringreaction
=0.0176 x 931 MEV
=16.423 MeV

The atomic mass of oxygen is 16 , hence the electrochemical equivalent (ECE) of oxygen in kg per coulomb is

Answer»

`(8 xx 10^(-3))/(96,500)`
`(8)/(96,500)`
`(16 xx 10^(-3))/(96,500)`
`(16)/(96,500)`

The atomic mass of an element is 50 (i) Calculate the mass of one atom, in amu (ii) Calculate the mass of 6.022xx10^(23) atoms, in gm (iii) Calculate the number of atoms in its 10 gm (iv) What mass of the element contains 3.011xx10^(20) atoms

Answer»

Solution :(i) 50 AMU `""` (ii) 50 GM
(iii) `because` 50 gm of element contains `6.022xx10^(23)` atoms
`therefore ` 10 gm of element will contain `(6.022xx10^(23))/(50)xx10=1.2044xx10^(22)` atoms
(iv) `because 6.022xx10^(23)` atoms weighs 50 gm
`therefore 3.011xx10^(20)` atoms weighs `(50)/(6.022xx10^(23))xx3.011xx10^(20)=0.025` gm

The arsenic in a 1.22g sampleof pesticide was converted to AsO_(4)^(3-) by suitable chemical treatment .it was then titrated using Ag^(+) to form Ag_(3)AsO_(4) as a presipitate .If it took 25 mLof 0.102" M " Ag^(+) to reach to equivalence pointin this titration , what is the percentage of arsenicin the pestcide ? (As = 75)

Answer»

Solution :The reaction
`3Ag^(+) +AsO_(4)^(3-) to Ag_(3)AsO_(4)^(3-)`
is not a REDOXREACTION but a precipitation reaction . The equivalent weightsof `AsO_(4)^(3-) and Ag^(+)`= m.e of `Ag^(+)`= MMOL of `Ag^(+)`
` = 0.102 XX 25 = 2.55`
Eq. of `AsO_(4)^(3-) = (2.55)/1000 = 0.00255`
Mole of `AsO_(4)^(3-) = (0.00255)/3 = 0.00085`
Mole of As =`0.00085 xx 75 = 0.06375 ` G
Percentage of arsenic in the pesticide
`= (0.06375)/(1.22) xx 100`
` = 5.22 ` %
