Answer:

The answer to your question is 203.8 g

Explanation:

Data

Average atomic mass = ?

Centium-200

Centium-203

Centium-209

Equal amounts

Process

1.- Determine the abundance of each isotope.

If they are in equal amounts in nature, just divide 100 by 3

             100/3 = 33.33 % or 0.333

2.- Determine the Average atomic mass

Average atomic mass = Atomic mass 1 x abundance + Atomic mass 2 x

                                        abundance + Atomic mass 3 x abundance

- Substitution

Average atomic mass = 200 x 0.333 + 203 x 0.333 + 209 x 0.333

- Simplification

Average atomic mass = 66.6 + 67.6 + 69.6

Result

Average atomic mass = 203.8 g

Why are mass and volume not properties of substances
masha68 [24]

Answer:

Extensive properties, such as mass and volume, depend on the amount of matter being measured. Intensive properties, such as density and color, do not depend on the amount of the substance present. Physical properties can be measured without changing a substance's chemical identity

How many moles of hydrogen are needed to produce 13.78 mol of ethane?
mamaluj [8]
Ethane is an alkane. Methane is also an alkane and is considered to be the simplest alkane. The difference is ethane has only 2 carbon. That carbon has 6 hydrogen attached to it. So what we do is we multiply the moles of ethane by the number of hydrogen (by dimension analysis) resulting to 82.68 moles H.

What type of reaction is most likely to occur when barium reacts with fluorine? write the chemical equation for the reaction?
scZoUnD [109]
Answer is: this is synthesis reaction.<span> 
</span>Chemical reaction: Ba + F₂ → BaF₂.
Synthesis reaction<span> is a type of reaction in which multiple reactants combine to form a single product.
</span>In barium fluoride, barium has oxidation number +2 and fluorine has oxidation number -1, so compound has neutral charge.

Which of the following statements contains supporting evidence for the Big Bang Theory?
m_a_m_a [10]
Without the statements, I can't specifically answer your question. But, I can present the largest piece of evidence we have for the Big Bang Theory.

Over the course of <em>many many </em>years, we have noticed something. Everything is expanding outwards. 

We can observe this, and realise that since things are expanding outwards, or, away from something, everything once came from a fixed point. 

Life and the universe started from one point, and every single thing in our cosmos is still expanding away from it. =)
