Answer: The first isotope has a relative abundance of 79% and last isotope has a relative abundance of 11%
Explanation: Given that the average atomic mass(M) of magnesium
= 24.3050amu
Mass of first isotope (M1) = 23.9850amu
Mass of middle isotope (M2)=24.9858amu
Mass of last isotope(M3)= 25.9826amu
Total abundance = 1
Abundance of middle isotope = 0.10
Let abundance of first and last isotope be x and y respectively.
x+0.10+y =1
x = 0.90-y
M = M1 × % abundance of first isotope + M2 × % of middle isotope +M3 ×% of last isotope
24.03050= 23.985× x + 24.9858 ×0.10 + 25.9826×y
Substitute x= 0.90-y
Then
y = 0.11
Since y=0.11, then
x= 0.90-0.11
x=0.79
Therefore the relative abundance of the first isotope = 11% and the relative abundance of the last isotope = 79%
(sample g/1) X (1 mole/40.078(MW of Ca)) = moles of sample (moles of sample)(6.022 x 10^23( no of atoms)/ 1 mole) = # of atoms in a 120 g sample of calcium Avogadro's number=6.022x 10^23 atoms in 1 mole
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
exceeds evaporation over land
Precipitation<u> exceeds evaporation over land </u>
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- <em><u>In order to maintain earths water balance, evaporation exceeds precipitation over oceans but precipitation exceeds evaporation over land.</u></em>
- Water evaporates into the atmosphere from the ocean and to a much lesser extent from the continents. Winds transport this moisture-laden air, often great distances, until conditions cause the moisture to condense into clouds and to precipitate and fall.
- Most precipitation originates by evaporation from the oceans. Over time, water evaporated from the oceans is replenished by inflow of freshwater from rivers and streams.
