Answer:

\boxed{\text{6.95 u; Li}}

Explanation:

1. Atomic mass of T

To get the atomic mass of T, you calculate the weighted average of the atomic masses of the isotopes.

That is, you multiply the atomic mass of each isotope by a number representing its relative importance (e.g.., its percent of the total).

\begin{array}{ccrcr}\textbf{Atom} & \textbf{Mass/u} &\textbf{Percent} & \textbf{Calculation}& \textbf{Result/u}\\^{6}\text{T}& 6.02 & 7.42 & 6.02 \times 0.0742 & 0.45\\^{7}\text{T}& 7.02 & 92.58 & 7.02 \times 0.9258& 6.50\\& & &\text{TOTAL } = &\textbf{6.95}\\\end{array}

2. Identity of T

Lithium has an atomic mass of 6.64 u.

Element T is lithium.

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

The statements are definitions to chromatography terms which have been highlighted below.

Explanation:

Match the chromatography term with its definition.

Volumetric Flow Rate = The volume of solvent traveling through the column per unit time.

Retention time = The elapsed time between sample injection and detection.

Adjusted Retention Time = The time required by a retained solute to travel through the column beyond the time required by the un -retained solvent.

Linear Flow Rate = The distance traveled by the solvent per unit time.

Retention factor = Describes the amount of time that a sample spends in the stationary phase relative to the mobile phase. It is sometimes also called the capacity factor or capacity ratio.

Relative Volume = Volume of the mobile phase required to elute a solute from the column.

Relative Retention = Ratio of the adjusted retention times or retention factors of two solutes. It is sometimes also called the separation factor.

Partition coefficient = The ratio of the solute concentrations in the mobile and stationary phases.
