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

1 answer:

3 0

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

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of momentum and conservation of kinetic energy.

By definition kinetic energy is defined as

$KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2$

Where,

m = Mass

v = Velocity

On the other hand we have the conservation of the moment, which for this case would be defined as

$m*V_i = m_1V_1+m_2V_2$

Here,

m = Total mass (8Kg at this case)

$m_1=m_2 =$ Mass each part

$V_i =$ Initial velocity

$V_2 =$ Final velocity particle 2

$V_1 =$ Final velocity particle 1

The initial kinetic energy would be given by,

$KE_i=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$KE_i = \frac{1}{2}8*5^2$

$KE_i = 100J$

In the end the energy increased 100J, that is,

$KE_f = KE_i KE_{increased}$

$KE_f = 100+100 = 200J$

By conservation of the moment then,

$m*V_i = m_1V_1+m_2V_2$

Replacing we have,

$(8)*5 = 4*V_1+4*V_2$

$40 = 4(V_1+V_2)$

$V_1+V_2 = 10$

$V_2 = 10-V_1$ (1)

In the final point the cinematic energy of EACH particle would be given by

$KE_f = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$KE_f = \frac{1}{2}4*(V_1^2+V_2^2)$

$200J=\frac{1}{2}4*(V_1^2+V_2^2)$ (2)

So we have a system of 2x2 equations

$V_2 = 10-V_1$

$200J=\frac{1}{2}4*(V_1^2+V_2^2)$

Replacing (1) in (2) and solving we have to,

200J=\frac{1}{2}4*(V_1^2+(10-V_1)^2)

PART A: $V_1 = 10m/s$

Then replacing in (1) we have that

PART B: $V_2 = 0m/s$

Water occupies two main fluid compartments within the body, the intracellular fluid compartment and the extracellular fluid comp

nadezda [96]

Answer:

C. Approx. Two thirds of the water is in the ICF compartment

Explanation:

The body cells are bathed in fluids internally and externally. The water inside the cells make up about 42% of the total body weight and is called the intracellular fluid (ICF). The rest of the fluid outside the cells is called extracellular fluid (ECF) and is separated from the intracellular fluid by a semipermeable membrane that surrounds the cell, and only allows fluid to flow in and out of the cells, but prevents unwanted molecules or materials from getting in.
