In general chemistry, isotopes are substances that belong to one specific element. So, they all have the same atomic numbers. But they only differ in the mass numbers, or the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. In a nutshell, they only differ in the number of neutrons.

For Nickel, there are 5 naturally occurring isotopes. Their identities, masses and relative abundance are listed below

  Isotope                Abundance           Atomic Mass
   Ni-58                    68.0769%              <span>57.9353 amu
   Ni-60                    </span>26.2231%              <span>59.9308 amu
   Ni-61                    </span>1.1399 %               <span>60.9311 amu
   Ni-62                    </span>3.6345%                <span>61.9283 amu
   Ni-64                    </span>0.9256%                <span>63.9280 amu

To determine the average atomic mass of Nickel, the equation would be:
Average atomic mass = </span>∑Abundance×Atomic Mass

Using the equation, the answer would be:
Average atomic mass = 57.9353(68.0769%) + 59.9308(26.2231%) + 60.9311(1.1399%) + 61.9283(3.6345%) + 63.9280(0.9256%)

Average atomic mass = 58.6933 amu

Two of the simplest compounds containing just carbon and hydrogen are methane and ethane. Methane contains 0.3357 g of hydrogen
Natasha_Volkova [10]
Let the ratio of grams of hydrogen per gram of carbon in methane be M, we know that:
M = 0.3357 g / 1 g

Next, lets represent the grams of hydrogen per gram of carbon in ethane be E. The final piece of information we have is:

M / E = 4/3

If we cross multiply,

3M = 4E

Now, substituting the value of M from earlier and solving for E,

E = (3 * 0.3357) / 4
E = 0.2518

There are 0.2518 grams of hydrogen per gram of carbon in ethane.

When cream mixes with coffee, is this a chemical or physical change?
svlad2 [7]

It is a physical change when cream mixes with coffee, it changes the color of the coffee. When you add more or less cream there is a color change depending on the consistency of cream. The properties are not changes and a no new compound is formed as in chemical change with a reaction of two compounds, a new compound is formed with different properties. So it is a physical change.
