A newly discovered element, Z, has two naturally occurring isotopes. 90.3 percent of the sample is an isotope with a mass of 267

.8 u, and 9.7 percent of the sample is an isotope with a mass of 270.9 u. What is the weighted average atomic mass for this element?

atomic mass=percentage of isotope a * mass of  isotope a + percentage of isotope b * mass of  isotope b+...+percentage of isotope n * mass of isotope n.

Data:
mass of isotope₁=267.8 u
percentage of isotope₁=90.3%

mass of isotope₂=270.9 u
percentage of isotope₂=9.7%

Therefore:

atomic mass=(0.903)(267.8 u)+(0.097)(270.9 u)=
=241.8234 u + 26.2773 u≈268.1 u

Answer: the mass atomic of this element would be 268.1 u

What is the pH difference of two samples if the concentration of [H+] ions is 1000-fold less in the second sample?
snow_tiger [21]
The correct answer is a. This is because the pH of a solution is defined as -log10(concentration of H+ ions). An inverse logarithmic scale such as this means that a solution with a lower concentration of H+ ions will have a higher pH than one with a higher concentration. Therefore we know that the pH of the second sample will be higher than the first.

Since the logarithmic scale has the base 10, a change by 1 on the scale is a consequence of multiplication/division of the H+ concentration by a factor of 10. As the scale is inverse, this means that a decrease of concentration by factor 1000 is equivalent to increasing the pH by (1000/10) = 3.

HELP PLEASE!! (100 points)
MrRa [10]

Answer:

As you cool a matter to absolute zero, their kinetic energy reduces significantly and the molecules slows down and begins to aggregate together. ... As heat is added, the molecules gain more kinetic energy. This shown in their increase motion. When heat is withdrawn, the particles slows down hope this helped

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

Speed of light

Explanation:

The value 3.0 x 10⁸m/s is taken as the speed of light.

It is a constant.

  • It implies that light travels a distance of 3 x 10⁸ in just one second.
  • This value is for the speed of light in a vacuum when there are not particles obstructing its movement.
  • The speed of electromagnetic radiations in free space is also taken as the speed of light.
