Explain why the atomic mass of an element is a weighted-average mass

Physics

Sliva [168]3 years ago

The isotopes contribute to the average atomic mass based on their abundance. The result is that the "average" mass for the atoms of an element is dictated by the most abundant or common isotope. The average atomic mass for carbon is 12.0107 amu. The atomic mass as displayed on the periodic table is a weighted average relative atomic mass of the naturally occuring isotopes of that element. An isotope is an element with the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons For example - Carbon naturally occurs in isotopes C12, C13 and C14 with abundances of 98.9% 1.1% and 'trace' respectively. the average mass is then calculated by 12*98.9%+13*1.1% = 12.01g/mol

Do you think it is possible to control the magnetic properties of a magnet? Can a magnet be turned on and off?
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Yes it is possible to control to some extent.

Explanation:

In general there are two types of magnets : permanent and temporary (electromagnets).

Electromagnets can be controlled since it basically depends on electricity. By switching on and off the electric supply the magnets also can be switched on and off respectively. We can also control the intensity of magnetic power.

On the other hand permanent magnet cannot be switched on and off but the magnetic properties can be altered event to an extent when it loses all its magnetic properties. It can be caused by high temperature, physical impact and also exposure to other magnetic fields. For every element there is a point of temperature called curie temperature above which the permanent magnet loses its magnetic properties. This can be brought back again by induced magnetism. The only issue is that induced magnetism work in most cases but not in all.

What quantities are related by Ohm's law? Check all that apply. voltage conductivity current resistance insulation
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer: Current, resistance and voltage are the quantities which are related by Ohm's law.

Explanation:

A law which states that electric current is directly proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance is called Ohm's law.

Mathematically, it is represented as follows.

I = \frac{V}{R}

where,

I = current

V = voltage

R = resistance

This means that the quantities related by Ohm's law include current, voltage and resistance.

Thus, we can conclude that current, resistance and voltage are the quantities which are related by Ohm's law.

When a person speaks, a sound intensity is generated that is 600 times greater than when the person whispers. What is the differ
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

Originally :  Level = log I / I0

Currently: Level = 10 log I / I0

Level = 10 log 600 = 10 * 2.78 = 27.8

Note the term 1 bel = 10 decibels
