Answer:

c) .51835

Explanation:

Let the relative abundance of the lighter of the two isotopes be X we have

Then the relative abundance of the heavier isotope is then (1-X)

Whereby we have that in nature the amount of the lighter silver found in proportion is X and the heavier isotope of silver is present as (1-X) proportion in nature.

To calculate the relative atomic mass of silver, we have

(Mass of light weight silver)×X + (mass of heavier isotope of silver×(1-X) = relative atomic mass of silver

106.90509(X) + 108.9047(1-X)

108.9-108.9(x)+106.9(x) = 107.87

-2x-1.03 = 0.517450902926

Closest answer is c

c) .5184

The relative atomic mass of isotopes is the weighted average by the mole-fraction of abundance of these isotopes which gives the atomic weight that is listed for that element on the periodic table.

Find the mass of 175.4mL of benzene if the density is 0.8786g/ml
bulgar [2K]
Hey there!:

Volume = 175.4 mL

density = 0.8786 g/mL  

mass = ?

Therefore:

D = m / V

0.8786 = m / 175.4

m = 0.8786 * 175.4

m = 154.10644 g

hope this helps!

Explanation:

Alkaline are great for long-term use in a device, such as in a digital camera or game console remote. Carbon zinc batteries are ideal in a situation where one needs to power multiple devices for one occasion, such as when buying many toys during the Christmas season to be used for a few days.
