Explanation:

(a) The mass of an object remains the same always. It is independent of its location. In this case, an iron nail is ground into powder. It means that its mass will remain unchanged. Hence, (a) is the correct option.

(b) Whenever there is a change of color of an object, a chemical reaction occurs. It shows that a reaction happens there. In this problem, a paper turns yellow-brown upon exposure to sunlight. A chemical reaction takes place there. Hence, (b) is the correct option.

What is the overall effect of adding a solute to a Solution

user100 [1]

Answer:

By adding the solute in to solution boiling point is increased while freezing point is decreased.

Explanation:

When solute in added into the solvent the boiling point of solvent increases for example,

Water is boiled at 100 °C, when sodium chloride is added its boiling point increased. Ions of salt interact with solvent and prevent the water molecules to escape from the surface and form gas molecules. In order to make it boiled solution must be heated above 100 °C.

But there is different case with freezing point. Freezing point is the state in which substance converted into the solid. At given temperature when solute is added into the solvent it prevent the formation of solid. It required time to decrease the temperature first and as the temperature is decreases solid is formed.

Answer:

See explaination

Explanation:

Chiral carbons are carbons that have four different groups, so C atoms 1, 4, and 5 are chiral carbons and thus H atoms are shown for those atoms.

antimony has two naturally occuring isotopes, sb121sb121 and sb123sb123 . sb121sb121 has an atomic mass of 120.9038 u120.9038 u

Luda [366]

Considering the definition of atomic mass, isotopes and atomic mass of an element, sb121 has a percent natural abundance of 0.5726 or 57.26% and sb123 has a percent natural abundance of 0.4284 or 42.84%.

<h3>Definition of atomic mass</h3>

The atomic mass is obtained by adding the number of protons and neutrons in a given nucleus of a chemical element.

<h3>Definition of isotope</h3>

Isotopes are the chemical elements in which atomic numbers are the same, but the number of neutrons is different.

<h3>Definition of atomic mass</h3>

The atomic mass of an element is the weighted average mass of its natural isotopes.

This is, the atomic masses of elements are usually calculated as the weighted average of the masses of the different isotopes of each element, considering the relative abundance of each of them.

<h3>Percent natural abundance of each isotope</h3>

In this case, antimony has two naturally occuring isotopes, sb121 and sb123. You know:

sb121 has an atomic mass of 120.9038 u.
sb121 has a percent natural abundance of x.
sb123 has an atomic mass of 122.9042 u.
sb123 has a percent natural abundance of 1 -x (or, what is the same, the abundance is 100% - x%, since both isotopes form 100% of the element.)
Antimony has an average atomic mass of 121.7601 u
