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

Why does carbon have the ability to form multiple bonds?​
stepan [7]

Carbon has the ability to form multiple bonds because it has four valence electrons. Having four valence electrons means that carbon has a lot of space to form bonds with other atoms, or multiple bonds, in order to reach the full octet.

Hope this helps!! :)

Convert 32.56 km/hr into ft/hr
Gekata [30.6K]
Note that
1 m = 3.2808 ft

Therefore
1 km = 3280.8 ft
and
32.56 \,  \frac{km}{h} = (32.56 \,  \frac{km}{h})*(3280.8 \,  \frac{ft}{km}) =  1.0682 \, \times 10^{5} \, \frac{ft}{h}

Answer: 1.0682 x 10⁵ ft/hr

If eggs are so fragile, how do they actually protect the growing bird?​
Step2247 [10]

Although birds' eggs appear to be fragile, they are in fact extremely robust. The oval shape applies the same rules of engineering as an arched bridge; the convex surface can withstand considerable pressure without breaking.
