No, the two isotopes of lithium-6 and lithium-7 are not equally common.  
The more plentiful isotope would be lithium-7. 
This can be easily demonstrated by assuming that both isotopes were equally common. If that were the case, the average atomic mass would be (6 + 7)/2 = 6.5 amu. Now compare that value if they were both equal to the actual value found in nature. The value found in nature is 6.941 amu which is heavier than the 6.5 amu that would happen if they were equally common. Since the natural value is heavier, that means that there has to be more of the heavier isotope than there is of the lighter one. Therefore lithium-7 is more common than lithium-6.

If you were going to build a system to check the effectiveness of automobile catalytic converters on cars, what substances would
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Oxides of nitrogen and hydrocarbon

Explanation:

An automobile catalytic converter is a substance that catalyses redox reactions that convert toxic gases emanating from an automobile engine to less toxic gases.

The substance work by converting carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbons to carbon dioxide and water and oxides of nitrogen to nitrogen and oxygen gas respectively.

<em>Hence, in order to check the effectiveness of a catalytic converter, unburned hydrocarbon and oxides of nitrogen are substances to watch out for in the car exhaust. None of these gases should be found in an exhaust with effective catalytic converter and vice versa. </em>

The moons appearance from the earth changes throughout its orbital path because the amount of .... varies ?
Mkey [24]
The amount of reflected sunlight varies. There really isn't any such thing as moonlight. The light we perceive to be produced by the moon is really just sunlight! As the moon moves around the planet, we can see differing amounts of reflected light that we categorize as phases.

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

The answer to your question is     V2 = 4.97 l

Explanation:

Data

Volume 1 = V1 = 4.40 L                    Volume 2 =

Temperature 1 = T1 = 19°C               Temperature 2 = T2 = 37°C

Pressure 1 = P1 = 783 mmHg           Pressure 2 = 735 mmHg

Process

1.- Convert temperature to °K

T1 = 19 + 273 = 292°K

T2 = 37 + 273 = 310°K

2.- Use the combined gas law to solve this problem

                  P1V1/T1  = P2V2/T2

-Solve for V2

                  V2 = P1V1T2 / T1P2

-Substitution

                  V2 = (783 x 4.40 x 310) / (292 x 735)

-Simplification

                 V2 = 1068012 / 214620

-Result

                 V2 = 4.97 l

What change in mass number occurs when a radioactive atom emits an alpha particle?
Alik [6]
The alpha particle is the helium nucleus.
The mass of helium nucleus (⁴₂He) is 4u.


The mass of radioactive atom decreases by 4u. Look at the reaction below:

²²³₈₈Ra ---> ⁴₂He + ²¹⁹₈₆Rn

Which statement about atmospheric pressure is false?
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

D) With an increase in altitude, atmospheric pressure increases as well.

Explanation:

Generally when altitude increases, the value of pressure decreases. This shows that pressure is inversely proportional to altitude. For example, the higher the altitude, the lower the pressure and vice versa. At very high altitude, the number of molecules of air are smaller than the number of moles of air at very low altitude. Thus, the higher the altitude, the lower the atmospheric pressure and the lower the altitude, the higher the atmospheric pressure. Therefore, option (D) is false.
