Answer:

Abundance of Ga 70.925 is 0.399 and percentage abundance of Ga 39.9%

Abundance of Ga 68.926 is 0.601 and percentage abundance is 60.1 %.

Explanation:

we know there are two naturally occurring isotopes of gallium Ga 68.926 and Ga 70.925.

First of all we will set the fraction for both isotopes

X for the isotopes having mass 70.925

1-x for isotopes having mass 68.926

The average atomic mass of Ga is 69.72.

we will use the following equation,

70.925 x + 68.926 (1-x) = 69.72

70.925 x + 68.926 - 68.926x = 69.72

70.925x- 68.926x = 69.72 - 68.926

1.99 x = 0.794

x= 0.794/ 1.99

x= 0.399

abundance of Ga 70.925 is 0.399, because we solve the fraction x.

0.399 × 100 = 39.9 %

39.9 % is percentage abundance of Ga 70.925

now we will calculate the abundance of Ga 68.926.

(1-x)

1 - 0.399 = 0.601

abundance of Ga 68.926 is 0.601 and percentage abundance is

0.601 × 100= 60.1 %

What is subshell and why do we use it if we have main shells already

kumpel [21]

Principal shell shows the main energy level, in that there are some more energy levels. This is how the atomic structure is defined according to the Quantum Mechanical model of atom. So exactly why do subshells exist and all i don't know

How many mL will a 0.205 mole sample of He occupy at 3.00 atm and 200 K? Report your answer to the nearest mL.

<h3>What is an ideal gas equation?</h3>

The ideal gas law (PV = nRT) relates the macroscopic properties of ideal gases. An ideal gas is a gas in which the particles (a) do not attract or repel one another and (b) take up no space (have no volume).

Using equation PV=nRT, where n is the moles and R is the gas constant. Then divide the given mass by the number of moles to get molar mass.

Given data:

P= 3.00 atm

V= ?

n=0.205 mole

R= $0.082057338 \;L \;atm \;K^{-1}mol^{-1}$

T=200 K

Putting value in the given equation:

$\frac{nRT}{P} =V$

$V= \frac{0.205 \;mole\;0.082057338 \;L \;atm \;K^{-1}mol^{-1} X 200}{3 \;atm}$

V= 1.1214 mL

An Argon laser gives off pulses of green light (wavelength = 514 nm). If a single pulse from the laser has a total energy of 10.

svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

$n=2.59\times 10^{16}$ photons

Explanation:

$E=n\times \frac{h\times c}{\lambda}$

Where,

n is the number of photons

h is Plank's constant having value $6.626\times 10^{-34}\ Js$

c is the speed of light having value $3\times 10^8\ m/s$

$\lambda$ is the wavelength of the light

Given that, wavelength = 514 nm = $514\times 10^{-9}\ m$

Energy = 10.0 mJ = 0.01 J ( 1 mJ = 0.001 J )

Applying the values as:-

$0.01=n\times \frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{514\times 10^{-9}}$

$\frac{19.878n}{10^{17}\times \:514}=0.01$

$n=2.59\times 10^{16}$ photons

PLEASE ANSWER ASAP FOR 50 POINTS (scroll down to see the pictures for the questions)

sladkih [1.3K]

Absorption occurs when photons from incident light hit atoms and molecules and cause them to vibrate. The more an object's molecules move and vibrate, the hotter it becomes. This heat is then emitted from the object as thermal energy.
