There are 2 isotopes of the fictional element Nz: Isotope 51 and Isotope 55. The average atomic mass of the fictional element Nz

is 52.21 amu.
What is the percent abundance of Isotope 51?


What is the percent abundance of Isotope 55?


If we had 63 atoms of element Nz (and remember you can't have just half of an atom):


How many of those atoms would likely be Isotope 51?


How many of those atoms would likely be Isotope 55?

The percentage abundance of Nz- 51 and Nz- 55 are 69.8 % and 30.2% respectively.

<h3>What is the percentage abundance of the isotopes?</h3>

We know that an isotope of an element has to do with atoms that have the same atomic number but the atomic masses of the atoms does differ. In this case, we have two isotopes Nz - 51 and Nz -55. We have the relative atomic mass of the elements as  52.21 amu.

Let the percentage abundance of Nz - 51 be x and the percentage abundance of Nz -55 be 1 - x.

52.21 = 51x + 55(1 - x)

52.21 = 51x + 55 - 55x

52.21  - 55 = 51x   - 55x

-2.79 = -4x

x = 0.698

Thus;

Percentage abundance of Nz - 51  = 0.698 or 69.8 %

Percentage abundance of Nz - 55 = 1 - 0.698 or 30.2 %

If I have 63 atoms

Number with isotope Nz - 51  =  0.698 * 63 = 44 atoms

Number with isotope Nz - 55 = 0.302 * 63 = 19 atoms

Mercury has a specific gravity of 13.6. how many milliliters of mercury have a mass of 0.35 kg
SashulF [63]

The formula for specific gravity is:

Specific gravity = \frac{\rho _{substance}}{\rho _{water}}

where \rho _{substance} is the density of the substance and \rho _{water} is the density of water.

The density of water, \rho _{water} = 1 g/mL

Substituting the values in above formula we get,

13.6 = \frac{\rho _{substance}}{1}

\rho _{substance} = 13.6 g/mL

The formula of density is:

density = \frac{mass}{volume}

The density of mercury is 13.6 g/mL

The mass of mercury is 0.35 kg = 0.35 kg \times 1000 \frac{g}{kg} = 350 g

Substituting the values in density formula:

13.6 g/mL = \frac{350 g}{volume}

volume = \frac{350 g}{13.6 g/mL} = 25.73 mL

How many significant figures<br> are in this number?<br> 43.55
leva [86]

Answer:

4 significant figures

Explanation:

Significant figures are the units/digits within a number that make the number more accurate and precise.

All digits (except for 0) are always significant. Therefore, all the digits in 43.55 are significant. Since there are 4 digits in the given number, there are 4 significant figures.

KIM [24]

Answer : Option D) Hot and dry with low growing shrubs.

Explanation : According to the attached image of the Biome, this particular biome displays the hot and dry climatic region along with low growing shrubs. A biomes are the way to divide the largely occurring flora and fauna in a particular place on the Earth's surface. These divisions are made on the basis of climatic patterns, soil types, and the animals and plants that are found to inhabit in that area.

The percent yield of a chemical reaction is valuable to many industries. Low percent yields can result in the loss of large amou
aev [14]

Using accurate measurements, using pure chemicals and performing the reaction under the most ideal conditions is important to get a valuable percent yield.

<h3>How we calculate the percent yield?</h3>

Percent yield of any chemical reaction is define as the ratios of the actual yield to the theoretical yield of the product and multiply by the 100.

To get the high percent yield or actual yield of any reaction, we have to perform the reaction under ideal condition because if we not use the standard condition then we get the low rate of reaction. Reactants should be present in the pure form as impurity make unwanted products and reduce the productivity of main product and accurate amount of reactants also important for the spontaneous reaction.

Hence, options (a), (b) & (c) are correct.
