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 %

The primary gas in a volcano is: water vapor carbon dioxide sulfur dioxide nitrogen

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Water vapor

Explanation:

The magma consist of dissolved gases when these gases produce the force the volcanic eruption take place. The volcanic gases comes out and their volume is increased tremendously. The gases present in volcano are listed below:

The volcanic gases consist of water vapors, carbon dioxide and sulfur.

These three re the primary gases but the water is present in higher amount.

The percentage of water is 60%.

The carbon dioxide present in 10-40%.

Other gases present in valcano are nitrogen, argon, helium, neon methane and hydrogen.

Which of the following compounds share electrons? NaCl CO CsF KBr

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Covalent compounds share with each other, whilst Ionic compounds take from each other.

Covalent compounds are composed of 2 or more NONMETALS.

So, it would be CO, since the rest of the compounds contain metals in them.

4) What is one advantage of using non-renewable resources?

vlabodo [156]

Answer:

The main advantages of non-renewable energies is that they are abundant and affordable. For example, oil and diesel are still good choices for powering vehicles. Non-renewable energy is cost effective and easier to product and use.

If you add MeOH to CoCl2(Alc)2, the CoCl2(Alc)2 concentration will change. What are the two reasons for this concentration chang

Bond [772]

There are two reasons that account for the change in concentration. One is by the physical change and second is by the chemical change. The physical change refers to the mixture of the two compounds. The concentration is the amount of that certain substance to the whole mixture. Since the mixture increases because you add them up, the concentration decreases. Second, these compounds react with each other once they interact. Hence, their amounts would be consumed in order to produce the products.
