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 aren't descriptive investigations repeatable?
Bad White [126]
In descriptive investigations, we still haven't formed any hypothesis yet so we seek information by asking question.

It's not repeatable because repeating the questions over and over again without any clue about what we want to seek is completely waste of time.

Hope this helps xox :)

How many grams of aluminum chloride are needed to react completely with 1.084g lithium sulfide?
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
Molar mass :

Li₂S = <span>45.947 g/mol

AlCl</span>₃ = <span>133.34 g/mol

</span><span>3 Li</span>₂<span>S + 2 AlCl</span>₃<span> = 6 LiCl + Al</span>₂S₃

3 * 45.947 g Li₂S ----------> 2 * <span>133.34 g AlCl</span>₃
1.084 g Li₂S ----------------> ?

Mass Li₂S = 1.084 * 2 * 133.34 / 3 * 45.947

Mass Li₂S = 289.08112 / 137.841

Mass Li₂S = 2.0972 g 

hope this helps!

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

Few important points related to S_N2 reaction:

1. S_N2 is a one-step reaction that follows second order kinetics.

2. In S_N2 reaction, a transition state is formed in situ.

3. Strong nucleophiles like OH^- \ or\  CN^- are used in case of bi-molecular nucleophilic substitution reaction.

Ethyl acetate can be prepared by a second-order nucleophilic substitution reaction between acetic acid and ethyl bromide.  

The reaction between acetic acid and ethyl bromide is drawn below:
