The weighted average atomic mass (m) of the newly discovered element X is the sum of the products of its isotopes percentage and mass.

                    m = (0.935) x (268.9 u) + (0.065) x (269.9 u) = 268.965 u

Thus, the weight of the atom is approximately 269.0 u.

To calculate the average mass of the element, we take the summation of the product of the isotope and the percent abundance. In this case, it is 0.935 * 268.9 amu + 0.065* 269.9 amu. This is equal to an average mass of 268.965 amu.

How do oceanographers define salinity?
Studentka2010 [4]

The oceanographers define salinity by the number of grams of salt per kilogram of water.  

Salinity is illustrated as how much salt is present in the given amount of water. It is dependent upon how much salt is found in the ocean in the specific regions. If there is a sunny environment, it may evaporate an ample amount of water, and leave behind a lot of salt, thus, the water has more salinity.  

The salinity of the ocean is usually measured in Practical Salinity Unit (PSU), it is a unit based on the characteristics of seawater conductivity.

Answer: shining a bright light on the object and testing for decomposition

Decomposition is the separation of a molecule into its elements or simpler compounds.

And a chemical property is the ability of a substance to combine or to become one or more substances.

Then, testing the ability of an object for decomposition is testing a chemical property.

A chemist dissolves 699. mg of pure hydrobromic acid in enough water to make up 180. mL of solution. Calculate the pH of the sol
Sedaia [141]

Answer: 1.32

Explanation:

First, we must obtain the molar mass of HBr. After that, we try to obtain the concentration of the hydrobromic acid from the formula n=CV since the volume of solution and mass of acid was provided. Recall that n=m/M. If the concentration of acid is thus obtained, we make use of the fact that the concentration of H+ in the acid is equal to the molar concentration of HBr to obtain the pH. The pH is the negative logarithm of the concentration we obtained in the initial step.
