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

Which is the correctly balanced chemical equation for the reaction of KOH and H2SO4?
zalisa [80]

Answer:

2KOH + H₂SO₄ → K₂SO₄ + 2H₂O.

Explanation:

  • This is an acid-base reaction which produces salt and water according to the balanced equation:

<em>2KOH + H₂SO₄ → K₂SO₄ + 2H₂O.</em>

<em></em>

it is clear that 2.0 moles of KOH react with 1.0 mole of H₂SO₄ to produce 1.0 mole of K₂SO₄ and 2.0 moles of H₂O

Which of the following is NOT a true statement about liquids?
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

4

Explanation:

1 is correct

Liquids have no definite shape as they take up the shape of the container. Thus, we can say a liquid has no shape of its own but rather has the shape of the container in which it is filled.

2 is correct

When the atmospheric temperature is increased, it also will increase the boiling point of the liquid

3 is correct

This is an extension of the statement 2. While we decrease the atmospheric pressure, we are also decreasing the boiling point

4 is incorrect

A liquid have a definite volume. When we say a volume is definite, it means the volume is fixed and does not change. The volume of liquids is definite for a particular mass of the liquid and does not change
