4. An empty flask has a mass of 79.31 grams. A 25.0 mL sample of an unknown liquid was pipetted into the flask and gave a total mass (flask plus liquid) of 97.010 grams. What is the density of the unknown liquid?

density = mass of liquid / volume of liquid

= (97.01-79.31)/25

volume = mass/density

= 150/1.26

= 119.04 ml

57Ha 56.935 amu 2.19%

56Ha 55.935 amu 91.66%

54Ha 53.940 amu 5.82%

(57.933*0.033)+(56.935*0.0219)+(55.935*0.9166)+(53.94*0.0582)

=55.8473844

42. Rhenium has two naturally occurring isotopes: Re-185 with a natural abundance of 37.40% and Re-187 with a natural abundance of 62.60%. The sum of the masses of the two isotopes is 371.9087 amu. Find the masses of the individual isotopes.

Re-185: (0.3740)(x) = 0.3740x

Re-187: (0.6260)(371.9087 - x) = 232.8148462 - 0.6260x

0.3740x + 232.8148462 - 0.6260x = 186.207

0.3740x + 232.8148462 - 0.6260x - 232.8148462 = 186.207 -232.8148462

0.3740x - 0.6260x = -46.6078462

-0.2520x = -46.6078462

-0.2520x/-0.2520x = -46.6078462/-0.2520

x = 184.9517706 amu = 184.952

The atomic weight o Re-185: 184.952 amu

The atomic weight of Re-187 is: 371.9087 minus 184.952 = 186.957 amu
