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.

A sample of the mineral hematite Iron (III) oxide has a mass of 12.4g. How many moles of the mineral are present?
8090 [49]

Thus problem is providing us with the mass of iron (III) oxide as 12.4 g so the moles are required and found to be 0.0776 mol after the calculations:

<h3>Mole-mass relationships:</h3>

In chemistry, we use mole-mass relationships in order to calculate grams from moles and vice versa. In this case, since we are given the mass of iron (III) oxide as 12.4 g one can calculate the moles by firstly quantifying its molar mass:

Fe_2O_3\rightarrow 2*55.85 g/mol+3*16.00 g/mol=159.7g/mol

Then, we prepare a conversion factor in order to cancel out the grams and thus, get moles:

12.4gFe_2O_3*\frac{1molFe_2O_3}{159.7gFe_2O_3} \\\\=0.0776molFe_2O_3

you rent a car in Germany with a gas mileage rating of 12.8km/L. What is its rating in miles per gallon?
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

so one liter is about 2. something gallons so at 12.8 km/l you would get about 30 mpg which is insane but yeah

If you want to find the force needed to pull a small car up a ramp, it would be best to use..
Katyanochek1 [597]

The answer is; A

By using a spring and determining the tension applied on the string by the car, it is possible to deduce the force. Determine the spring's initial tension as well as spring rate and working loads;

Rate = (Load – Initial Tension) ÷ Travel

k = (L – IT) ÷ T
