A certain element consists of two stable isotopes. the first has a mass of 68.9 amu and a percent natural abundance of 60.4 %. t

he second has a mass of 70.9 amu and a percent natural abundance of 39.6 %. what is the atomic weight of the element?

The average atomic weight of this 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)

atomic weight of first isotope = 68.9 amu
its percentage of abundance = 0.604
atomic weight of second isotope = 70.9 amu
its percentage of abundance = 0.396

So, just substitute in the above equation to get the atomic weight of the element as follows:
atomic weight = (68.9)(0.604) + (70.9)(0.396) = 69.692 amu

What is the relationship between pressure and temperature
hoa [83]

Answer:

The Pressure Temperature Law. This law states that the pressure of a given amount of gas held at constant volume is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature. With an increase in temperature, the pressure will go up.

Aluminum metal reacts with aqueous cobalt(II) nitrate to form aqueous aluminum nitrate and cobalt metal. What is the stoichiomet
Lelu [443]

Answer:

the stoichiometric coefficient for cobalt is 3

Explanation:

the unbalanced reaction would be

Co(NO₃)₂+ Al → Al(NO₃)₃ + Co

One way to solve is to build a system of linear equations for each element (or group as NO₃) , knowing that the number of atoms of each element is conserved.

For smaller reactions a quick way to solve it can be:

- First the Co as product and as reactant needs to have the same stoichiometric coefficient

- Then the Al as product and as reactant needs to have the same stoichiometric coefficient

- After that we look at the nitrates . There are 2 as reactants and 3 as products . Since the common multiple is 6 then multiply the reactant by 3 and the product by 2.

Finally the balanced equation will be

3 Co(NO₃)₂+ 2 Al → 2 Al(NO₃)₃ + 3 Co

then the stoichiometric coefficient for cobalt is 3

\large\boxed{\text{Water.}}

Looking at the information given in the description, the experiment is testing for the effects of the different salts on the growth of the plants.

This means that the type of salt is the independent variable,  or the variable being manipulated and tested.

To ensure fair results, some parts of the experiment would need to be kept the same, which is the control. The only answer choice that makes sense in this instance is A. water.
