The average atomic mass of oxygen is 15.9994 amu. The atomic masses of its three isotopes are as follows: O-16: 15.995 amu; O-17

: 16.999 amu; O-18: 17.999 amu Which isotope is most likely to have the greatest abundance in nature? O–16 O–17 O–18 all three isotopes may be equally abundant

The average atomic mass of oxygen is the atomic mass with respect to 1/12th the mass of a C-12 atom, related to natural abundance. 
amu - atomic mass units 
O-16 - 15.995 amu
O-17 - 16.999 amu
O-18 - 17.999 amu
the average atomic mass is 15.9994 amu
average atomic mass = ∑atomic mass of each isotope * relative abundance percentage
in other words the average atomic mass is closer to the atomic mass of the most abundant isotope. In this case 15.9994 is closest to 15.995 amu which is the atomic mass of O-16.
This means that O-16 is the most abundant isotope.

<h3>What are  ion-selective electrodes?</h3>

Analytical chemistry is a science that deal with the measurement and detection of the accurate amount of a substance. Analytical chemistry plays a large role in environmental management as it helps in the determination of the levels of contaminants in a sample.

An ion selective electrode is used in analytical chemistry to measure the amount of a target ion by converting its activity into a measurable electrical signal.

Hence, when using ion-selective electrodes, to compensate for a complex or unknown matrix, the  standard addition method can be used to determine the analyte concentration.

Can someone help me with the questions in the images. if they are correct i will mark as brainliest

(1)

The health of coral colonies

The levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere

This is because corals are very sensitive to changes in the ocean's properties pH being included. Warmer oceans dissolves more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere hence making the waters slightly acidic. This will affect coral resulting in bleaching. This negatively affects the marine ecosystems since corals are usually at the bottom of the energy pyramid in these ecosystems.

(2)

Chlorofluorocarbons are very harmful to the environment when released into the atmosphere. They damage the ozone layer and therefore allow more UV rays from sunlight to reach the earth’s surface. They also have a  greenhouse effect causing the earth’s atmosphere to warm up. This ultimately leads to global warming and climate change.

(3)

It would allow storm systems to stall in an area

Jets streams are very significant in that they influence weather patterns across the world. They are responsible for the movement of pressure systems and global air cells and their accompanying weather patterns. Because they generally sit in between cold and warm air systems they are significant in moving these air masses around. When they are weak they cause an air system to linger including storms causing excessive flooding in an area.

(4)

Absorb and re-emit infrared radiation.

Produced by human activity

Greenhouse gases do not allow infrared radiation from the earth's surface to escape back to space. Infrared is the electromagnetic wave spectrum responsible for transferring heat energy. Therefore, when left to linger in the atmosphere, they cause the greenhouse effect. This is the reason for global warming.

(5)

Air temperature –, ice

Ocean temperature – ice, a chemical isotope of <em>foraminifera</em>

Carbon dioxide levels – a chemical isotope of <em>foraminifera</em>

Kind of plants – fossilized pollen grains

Rainfall- the rings

a titration of 25.0mL of an x M hcl solution with 0.15M NaOH starts at a burette reading for NaOH of 0.20mL . Thr burette readin
VARVARA [1.3K]
Burette is a very accurate measuring instrument when adding solutions and has a measurement error of 0.05 mL. 
Small volumes of solutions can be transferred from the burette at a controllable rate. 
In this instance NaOH is in the burette.
Initial reading of NaOH is 0.20 mL 
end point is the point at which the chemical reaction reaches completion. In acid base reactions, end point is when all the H⁺ ions have reacted with OH⁻ ions. 
final reading of NaOH is 24.10 mL
to find the volume of NaOH dispensed we have to find the difference between final reading and initial reading 
volume of NaOH added = 24.10 mL - 0.20 mL = 23.90 mL
volume of NaOH dispensed is 23.90 mL

The particles in liquids and gases show random motion. What does that mean and why does it occur??
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

Liquids and gases show random movements because of potential and kinetic energy.

It happens when heat is applied to the particles and they gain more potential and kinetic energy and move around faster. With gases, they have the most energy.

If anything doesnt make sense, make sure to message me
