let the moles of chlorine-35 is n1 and chlorine-37 is n2

now we will use the formula of average atomic mass

M = \frac{n_1M_1 + n_2M_2}{n_1 + n_2}

here let say

\frac{n_1}{n_2} = x

35.45 = \frac{x(35) + 37}{x + 1}

35.45 x + 35.45 = 35x + 37

35.45 x - 35 x = 37 - 35.45

0.45 x = 1.55

x = 3.44

so here since ratio of moles of chlorine 35 and chlorine 37 is more than 1 so chlorine 35 is more in the proportion in this mixture so <em>there is most chlorine atom consist of 18 neutrons</em>

Answer:

chlorine-35

Explanation:

We are given that Chlorine has an average atomic mass=35.45 amu

The two naturally occurring isotopes of chlorine are chlorine -35 and chlorine -37.

We have to find which isotope  most contain 18 neutrons or 20 neutrons and why.

Let

\frac{x}{y}=a

Where x= Part of chlorine-35

y=Part of chlorine-37

Then, x=a and y=1

Average atomic mass=\frac{m_1x_1+m_2x_2}{x-1+x_2}

Using this formula

35.45=\frac{35a+37}{a+1}

35.45a+35.45=35a+37

35.45a-35 a=37-35.45=1.55

0.45 a=1.55

a=\frac{1.55}{0.45}=3.44

The ratio of two isotopes is 3.44 which is greater than 1.

Therefore,chlorine-35 is greater than chlorine-37 in a mixture of two isotopes.

We know that atomic number of chlorine-35 is 17.

Neutron number=35-17=18

Hence, the chlorine-35 is most which contain 18 neutrons.

A diode, which allows current to flow in one direction only, consists of two types of semiconductors joined together.
Nata [24]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

A diode, which allows current to flow in one direction only, consists of two types of semiconductors joined together.

A semiconductor can be defined as a crystalline solid substance that has its conductivity lying between that of a metal and an insulator, due to the effects of temperature or an addition of an impurity. Semiconductors are classified into two main categories;

1. Extrinsic semiconductor.

2. Intrinsic semiconductor.

An intrinsic semiconductor is a crystalline solid substance that is in its purest form and having no impurities added to it. Examples of intrinsic semiconductor are Germanium and Silicon.

In an intrinsic semiconductor, the number of free electrons is equal to the number of holes. Also, in an intrinsic semiconductor the number of holes and free electrons is directly proportional to the temperature; as the temperature increases, the number of holes and free electrons increases and vice-versa.

In an intrinsic semiconductor, each free electrons (valence electrons) produces a covalent bond.

A swimmer bounces almost straight up from a diving board and falls vertically feet first into a pool.she starts with a speed of
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

a) 1.20227 seconds

b) 0.98674 m

c) 7.3942875 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity = 4.4 m/s

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 0=4.4-9.81\times t\\\Rightarrow \frac{-4.4}{-9.81}=t\\\Rightarrow t=0.44852\ s

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=4.4\times 0.44852+\frac{1}{2}\times -9.81\times 0.44852^2\\\Rightarrow s=0.98674\ m

b) Her highest height above the board is 0.98674 m

Total height she would fall is 0.98674+1.8 = 2.78674 m

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 2.78674=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{2.78674\times 2}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow t=0.75375\ s

a) Her feet are in the air for 0.75375+0.44852 = 1.20227 seconds

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=0+9.81\times 0.75375\\\Rightarrow v=7.3942875\ m/s

c) Her velocity when her feet hit the water is 7.3942875 m/s

Which of the following is a way earth’s water (hydrosphere) is directly affected by pollution?
ASHA 777 [7]

The toxic runoff from the farms will directly enters the water bodies of the earth through the drainage system.

The emissions from the cars will go into atmosphere and will react with water and then it will enter the earth's water. So, it is not directly affecting the earth's water.

The dumping trash on roadsides do not enter the earth's water. It can enter the earth's water through rains.

The production of oxygen by trees is not pollution.

Hence, option (A) is correct.
