Answer:-  The natural abundance of ^1^5^1_E_u is 0.478 or 47.8% and ^1^5^3_E_u is 0.522 or 52.2% .

Solution:- Average atomic mass of an element is calculated from the atomic masses of it's isotopes and their abundances using the formula:

Average atomic mass = mass of first isotope(abundance) + mass of second isotope(abundance)

We have been given with atomic masses for ^1^5^1_E_u and ^1^5^3_E_u as 150.919860 and 152.921243 amu, respectively.  Average atomic mass of Eu is 151.964 amu.

Sum of natural abundances of isotopes of an element is always 1. If we assume the abundance of ^1^5^1_E_u as n then the abundance of ^1^5^3_E_u would be 1-n .

Let's plug in the values in the formula:

151.964=150.919860(n)+152.921243(1-n)

151.964=150.919860n+152.921243-152.921243n

on keeping similar terms on same side:

151.964-152.921243=150.919860n-152.921243n

-0.957243=-2.001383n

negative sign is on both sides so it is canceled:

0.957243=2.001383n

n=\frac{0.957243}{2.001383}

n=0.478

The abundance of ^1^5^1_E_u is 0.478 which is 47.8%.  

The abundance of ^1^5^3_E_u is = 1-0.478

= 0.522 which is 52.2%

Hence, the natural abundance of ^1^5^1_E_u is 0.478 or 47.8% and ^1^5^3_E_u is 0.522 or 52.2% .

Convert the composition of the following alloy from atom percent to weight percent (a) 44.9 at% of silver, (b) 46.3 at% of gold,
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

Mass percentage of gold : 33.35%

Mass percentage of silver: 62.80%

Mass percentage of copper : 3.85%

Explanation:

N=n\times N_A

Where : N = Number of atoms

n = moles

N_A=6.022\times 10^{23} = Avogadro number

Let the total atoms present in the alloy be 100.

Atom percentage of silver = 44.9%

Atoms of of silver = 44.9% of 100 atoms = 44.9

Atomic weight of silver = 107.87 g/mol

Mass of 44.9 silver atoms = 107.87 g/mol ×  44.9 = 4,843.363 g/mol

Atom percentage of gold= 46.3%

Atoms of of gold = 46.3% of 100 atoms = 46.3

Atomic weight of gold = 196.97 g/mol

Mass of 44.9 gold atoms = 196.97 g/mol × 46.3 = 9,119.711 g/mol

Atom percentage of copper = 8.8 %

Atoms of of copper = 8.8% of 100 atoms = 8.8

Atomic weight of copper = 63.55 g/mol

Mass of 44.9 copper atoms = 63.55 g/mol ×  8.8 = 559.24 g/mol

Total mass of an alloy :4,843.363 g/mol + 9,119.711 g/mol +  559.24 g/mol

Mass percentage of gold :

\frac{4,843.363 g/mol}{4,843.363 g/mol + 9,119.711 g/mol +  559.24 g/mol}\times 100=33.35 \%

Mass percentage of silver:

\frac{9,119.711 g/mol}{4,843.363 g/mol + 9,119.711 g/mol +  559.24 g/mol}\times 100=62.80\%

Mass percentage of copper :

\frac{559.24 g/mol}{4,843.363 g/mol + 9,119.711 g/mol +  559.24 g/mol}\times 100=3.85\%

Citrus2011 [14]
In comparison with liquids and gases, solids are more dense. The answer is letter B. <span>The solid has a more definite shape and volume. The particles are locked into place. It cannot be further compressed due to the bond that exists between the molecules. The kinetic energy of the molecules is close to none because the molecules are so close and so compact with each other. </span>

I need an example of a chemical change involving water.Pleaseeee.
slava [35]
Chemical change occur when two substances are combined and produces a new substance or decomposes into two or more substances which are entirely different from the original two substances.

There are three types of chemical changes. These are 1) Inorganic Changes, 2) Organic Changes, and 3) Biochemical Changes


Here are some examples of chemicsal changes.

If you combine Sodium and Water, chemical changes causes decomposition into Sodium Hydroxide and Hydrogen.

Sodium + Water  ==>  Sodium Hydroxide and Hydrogen

Na + H2O ====>  NaOH and H

Another example of chemical change is:

Carbon Dioxide and Water will decompose into Sugar and Oxygen

Carbon Dioxide + Water ==> Sugar and Oxygen

CO2 + H2O ==> CnH2nOn (where n is between 3 and 7) and O
