Average atomic mass is the weighted average atomic masses with regard to the relative abundance of the isotopes 
average atomic mass of Li = relative abundance of Li-6 x mass of Li-6 + relative abundance of Li-7 x mass of Li-7
average atomic mass of Li = (7.42% x 6.0151 a.m.u) + (92.58% x 7.0160 a.m.u)
                                           = 0.446 + 6.495
                                           = 6.941 amu
average atomic mass of Li is 6.941 amu

Answer: The average atomic mass of Lithium is 6.94 amu.

Explanation:

Mass of isotope Li-6 = 6.0151 amu

% abundance of isotope  Li-6 = 7.42%= \frac{7.42}{100}=0.0742

Mass of isotope Li-7=  7.0160

% abundance of isotope Li-7 = 92.58% = \frac{92.58}{100}=0.9258

Formula used for average atomic mass of an element :

\text{ Average atomic mass of an element}=\sum(\text{atomic mass of an isotopes}\times {{\text { fractional abundance}})

A=\sum[(6.0151\times 0.0742)+(7.0160\times 0.9258)]

A=6.94

Therefore, the average atomic mass of Lithium is 6.94 amu.

Determine the number of moles of H in each sample
MissTica

C. The number of moles of H in 0.109 mole of N₂H₄ is 0.436 mole

D. The number of moles of H in 34 moles of C₁₀H₂₂ is 748 moles

<h3>C. How to determine the number of mole of H in 0.109 mole of N₂H₄</h3>

1 mole of N₂H₄ contains 4 moles of H

Therefore,

0.109 mole of N₂H₄ will contain = 0.109 × 4 = 0.436 mole of H

<h3>D. How to determine the number of mole of H in 34 mole of C₁₀H₂₂</h3>

1 mole of C₁₀H₂₂ contains 22 moles of H

Therefore,

34 mole of C₁₀H₂₂ will contain = 34 × 22 = 748 mole of H

What effect would a decrease or increase in barometric pressure have on the boiling point
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

Pressure Affects the Boiling Point

Atmospheric pressure influences the boiling point of water. When atmospheric pressure increases, the boiling point becomes higher, and when atmospheric pressure decreases (as it does when elevation increases), the boiling point becomes lower.
