Bromium has two naturally occurring isotopes: 79br, with an atomic weight of 78.918 amu, and 81br, with an atomic weight of 80.9

16 amu. if the average atomic weight for br is 79.903 amu, calculate the fraction-of-occurrences of these two isotopes. [hint: work on example problem 2.1]

The two different isotopes have weights :

w1 = 78.918 amu

w2 = 80.916 amu

average weight w3 = 79.903 amu

The mixing of two components can be modeled as

let the fraction of w1 be 'x'

hence w1. x + w2.(1-x)  = w3

now this is a linear equation in 'x'. Substituting the values we get

x = 0.507

hence the percentage of Br79 = 50.7% and the percentage of BR81 = 49.3%

determine whether the following equations are dimensionally correct if not how can you make them dimensionally correct 1 /2 mv2
serg [7]

Answer:

1 /2 mv^{2} =mgh

Explanation:

The correct equation follows the law of conservation of energy where kinetic energy is all transformed to potential energy, since we know that kinetic energy is expressed as

1 /2 mv^{2} while potential energy is mgh where m is the mass of the object, v is the velocity or speed of the object, g is acceleration due to gravity and h is the vertical height. Therefore, relating the two equations we should have 1 /2 mv^{2} =mgh

Standard weight and scales in the market should be checked in every two year why?​
disa [49]

Answer:

to check for errors.

Explanation:

since some of the components of the scale are metallic, they are prone to rusting which would cause error in reading of the scale so there is organized checking if the scale to correct that.

hope it helps .

What causes changes of states in matter?
miv72 [106K]
Changes in state of matter would be a physical change to whatever it is that you are changing so I think it would be B.Molecules because in order for something to change the molecules have to be moving apart from one another but I maybe wrong depending on what it is your looking at
