The average atomic mass of your mixture is 1.03 u
.
The average atomic mass of H is the weighted average of the atomic masses of its isotopes.
We multiply the atomic mass of each isotope by a number representing its relative importance (i.e., its % abundance).
Thus,
0.99 × 1.01 u = 0.998 u
0.002 × 2.01 u = 0.004 u
0.008 × 3.02 u = <u>0.024 u</u>
TOTAL = 1.03 u
Answer:Hope this helps!
Explanation:
You can use a flame test to help identify the composition of a sample. The test is used to identify metal ions (and certain other ions) based on the characteristic emission spectrum of the elements. The test is performed by dipping a wire or wooden splint into a sample solution or coating it with the powdered metal salt. The color of a gas flame is observed as the sample is heated. If a wooden splint is used, it's necessary to wave the sample through the flame to avoid setting the wood on fire. The color of the flame is compared against the flame colors known to be associated with the metals.
If Thomson’s model of the atom were correct, Rutherford should have seen a complete reflection of those particles when fired at the foil. Those particles would have hit a solid object (Thomson model) and would have been reflected back at the emitter. However, Rutherford discovered that most of those particles passed through the sheet, either continuing straight through or having the angle change a small amount (bouncing off the nucleus). Only a small number of the particles were reflected back, having hit the nucleus straight on. This led him to believe that there was a small, dense portion of the atom that resided within a larger, emptier space.
