b. 690,090 nanoliters to fluid ounce
c. 242 K to oF
II. A piece of metal with a mass of 17.0 grams, initially at 110 oC is placed in 60.0 grams
of water which has initial temperature of 25.0 oC. If the specific heat of the metal is
cal
0.087 , find the final temperature of the metal and water (15 points)

III. A perfumer makes his own scent by combining 24.0 oz. of alcohol, 14.0 oz. of
essential oil and 6.0 oz. of his secret formula. How many 3.38 fl. Oz. bottle would he
g
need if the density of the perfume is 0.77 3 ? (15 points)

IV. A hypothetical element Ab has 3 isotopes, Ab-90, Ab-92 and Ab-94. Ab-90 has an
atomic mass of 90.0018 amu, while Ab-92 has an atomic mass of 9.0012 and Ab-94
has 94.0004 amu. It was found out that the difference in the percent abundance of
Ab-90 and Ab-94 is equal to the percent abundance of Ab-92. If the average atomic
mass of element Ab is 91.2014 amu, calculate the percent abundance of the three
isotopes. (15 points)

4. Isotopes Atomic Mass Percent Abundance

Ab – 90 90.0018 amu x
Ab – 92 92.0012 amu y
Ab – 94 94.0004 amu z
Equation 1: 90.0018 amu (x) + 92.0012 amu (y) + 94.0004 amu (z) = 91.2014 amu
Equation 2: x + y + z = 1
Equation 3: y = x – z
Solving for x:
x + (x – z) + z = 1
2x = 1
x = 0.5
Substituting to equation 1 the value of x and z
90.0018 (0.5) + 92.0012 (0.5 – z) + 94.0004 (z) = 91.2014
1.996 z = 1.1996
z = 0.2
y = 0.5 – z
y = 0.3
x = 0.5
The % composition is 50% Ab – 90, 30% Ab – 92 and 20% Ab - 94
