To determine the average atomic weight of the hypothetical element X, you essentially take the average of the isotopes based on the percent abundance of each isotope present.

However, to do this "without doing an actual calculation" is not possible. But we can do it with very simplified calculations. We have one isoptope of X that is 42 amu that is 1/3 of the element, and the other isotope which is 45 amu that is 2/3 of the element.

A simple calculation to find the mass of X is as follows:

(1/3)(42 amu) + (2/3)(45 amu) = atomic weight of X.
14 + 30 = atomic weight of X
Atomic weight of X = 44 amu.

The mass closest to the atomic mass of X is 44 amu.

The formula for europium oxide is Eu203. On the basis of this information, the formula for the chlorate of europium would be exp
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

Eu(ClO3)3

Explanation:

The chlorate ion is written as follows, ClO⁻ ₃. We can see from this that the ion is univalent.

From the formula, Eu203, it is easy to see that the europium ion is trivalent.

Hence, when a compound is formed between the europium ion and chlorate ion, the compound will be written as Eu(ClO3)3.

This is so because, when ionic compounds are formed, there is an exchange of valence between the ions in the compound. This gives the final formula of the ionic substance.

What effect would a latitude of 60 degrees have on the climate
Salsk061 [2.6K]
The poles are located at the 90 degrees. The poles are extremely cold environments. If you think about how relatively close to the pole 60 degrees would be, you can assume it would be cold but not as extreme. So short summer, cold winters seems to be the most accurate.

You can also see in a map (attached) where the 60 degrees parallel actually is, and you can see what the climate tends to be in those areas.

Which is the most accurate description of ionic and covalent bonding?
Yuliya22 [10]
Ionic Bonding: 
This type of bonding occurs when atoms want to fulfil their valence shells by taking/giving electrons to other atoms. This, leads to completed valence shells in most cases and ionisation of both elements. The opposite charges cause the elements to stick together because opposites attract. 

Covalent Bonding: 
This type of bonding occurs when electrons are shared between atoms to each fill up their own valence shells by sharing. The balance between the attraction forces and repulsion forces between the shared electrons is called covalent bonding. 

Hope I helped :)
