Atomic weight of an element can be calculated as follows:
average atomic weight = 
(atomic weight of first isotope)(its percentage of abundance) + 
(atomic weight of second isotope)(its percentage of abundance)

average atomic weight = 98.225 amu
atomic weight of first isotope = 97.780 amu
its percentage of abundance = 1 - 0.417 = 0.583
atomic weight of second isotope = ??
its percentage of abundance = 0.417

So, just substitute in the above equation to get the atomic weight of the second isotope as follows:
98.225 = (97.78)(0.583) + (mass2)(0.417) 
atomic weight of second isotope = 98.847 amu

what is the pH of a solution prepared from solid, neutral 2-nitrophenol providing a fromal concentration of 0.0353M, given that
REY [17]

Answer:

pH = 4.34

Explanation:

pH= -1/2(logKa) -1/2(log C)

= -1/2( log 5.98*10^-8) -1/2(log 0.0353)

=-1/2(-7.22)-1/2(-1.45)

=3.61+0.725= 4.34

Students find the pH of Substance A to be 2.1 and Substance B to be 4.4. They are told Substance C is less acidic than Substance
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

the range should be 2.2 to 4.3

Explanation:

I think so because the numbers at the left side of the scale from 1 are more acidic so as it increases it's still acidic but lesser so 1 is more acidic than 2 so I used 2.2 as the beginning of the range because it's less acidic than A even though its a greater number and 4.3 is lesser than 4.4 but its still greater on the scale. frankly speaking I don't feel so correct because it's in decimal so try and compare facts thank you
