5 0

Answer:

Average atomic mass of carbon = 12.01 amu.

Explanation:

Given data:

Abundance of C¹² = 98.89%

Abundance of C¹³ = 1.11%

Atomic mass of C¹² = 12.000 amu

Atomic mass of C¹³ = 13.003 amu

Average atomic mass = ?

Solution:

Average atomic mass of carbon = (abundance of 1st isotope × its atomic mass) +(abundance of 2nd isotope × its atomic mass)  / 100

Average atomic mass of carbon = (12.000×98.89)+(13.003×1.11) /100

Average atomic mass of carbon=  1186.68 + 14.43333 / 100

Average atomic mass of carbon = 1201.11333 / 100

Average atomic mass of carbon = 12.01 amu.

A package contains 1.33 lb of ground round. If it contains 29% fat, how many grams of fat are in the ground round? The book is s
Effectus [21]

Answer:

To obtain the grams of fat that the ground round has, knowing that it weighs 1.33 pounds we must pass this value to grams. Since 1 pound equals 453.59 grams, 1.33 pounds equals 603.27 (453.59 x 1.33).

Now, to obtain 29 percent of 603.27, we must make the following calculation: 603.27 / 100 x 29, which gives a total of 174.94 grams.

In this way, your reasoning is correct and it is probably a mistake in the book.

PLS HELP The average atomic mass of carbon is 12.01 amu. Based on the atomic
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

B. There is a very large percentage of C-12.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given information, it turns out possible for us to realize that, since the average atomic mass is 12.01 amu, then the C-12, with an atomic mass of 12.000 am prevails over C-13 with an atomic mass of 13.003 amu as long as the average is nearer to the former.

In such a way, the answer will be B. There is a very large percentage of C-12.

Regards!

Which defines health?
NARA [144]
I mean this is pretty obvious it's D. life expectancy is sort of close but not really. B is close too but it's not it bc that's not what health is. you could be over weight and not be sick and it still isn't healthy. and C isn't close at all. hope this helps, have an amazing day :)

using information about natural laws explain why some car crashes produce minor injuries and others produce catastrophic injurie
Roman55 [17]

My main reason would be momentum – it depends on the mass as well as the speed of the colliding objects. For example if two sedans travelling in a low speed bump each other, then probably the damage would be minimal scratches. However, if a high speed car crashes unto a heavy truck also travelling fast, then the result would be catastrophic.
