26 because you need to do 54-28=26
The atomic mass number is the number of protons AND neutrons together.

An isotope is a varying in the neutrons because the protons NEVERRRR change!!

54 - 28 = <span>26

kolbaska11 [484]
Fusion occurs constantly on our sun, which produces most of its energy via the nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium. Neither do fusion reactions produce the large amounts of dangerous radioactive waste that fission reactions do. That's why it's such a dreamy source of energy.

Answer:

Rubidium-85=61.2

Rubidium-87=24.36

Atomic Mass=85.56 amu

Explanation:

To find the atomic mass, we must multiply the masses of the isotope by the percent abundance, then add.

<u>Rubidium-85 </u>

This isotope has an abundance of 72%.

Convert 72% to a decimal. Divide by 100 or move the decimal two places to the left.

  • 72/100= 0.72      or        72.0 --> 7.2 ---> 0.72

Multiply the mass of the isotope, which is 85, by the abundance as a decimal.

  • mass * decimal abundance= 85* 0.72= 61.2

Rubidium-85=61.2

<u>Rubidium-87</u>

This isotope has an abundance of 28%.

Convert 28% to a decimal. Divide by 100 or move the decimal two places to the left.

  • 28/100= 0.28       or        28.0 --> 2.8 ---> 0.28

Multiply the mass of the isotope, which is 87, by the abundance as a decimal.

  • mass * decimal abundance= 87* 0.28= 24.36

Rubidium-87=24.36

<u>Atomic Mass of Rubidium:</u>

Add the two numbers together.

  • Rb-85 (61.2) and Rb-87 (24.36)
  • 61.2+24.36=85.56 amu

In general, ionic compounds are hard solids at ambient temperatures but they shatter fairly easily. How do these two properties
lord [1]

Ionic or electrovalent compounds support the theory of ionic bonding because they are compounds composed of charged particles formed when an atom gains or loses electrons.

Electrovalent compounds posses:

  • High boiling and melting points.
  • Form crystals.

<h3>What is ionic bonding?</h3>

This is the transfer of valence electrons from metals to non metals to form ionic compounds. It also refers to a chemical bond formed between two ions with opposite charges.

What is the land part of the earth called?
Molodets [167]

The Land Hemisphere is the part of the Earth that encompasses the largest portion of land on the planet. Despite being called the Land Hemisphere, the area of water in the hemisphere is greater than that of the area of land present here. The Land Hemisphere has its center at 47°13′N 1°32′W which is located near the French city of Nantes. The Land Hemisphere includes most of Asia and South America and the whole of Africa, Europe, and North America. Seven-eighths of the land area of the Earth is part of this hemisphere

Answer:

0.72 mole of oxygen would produce 320.4 kJ of heat.

Explanation:

CH₄ (g) + 2O₂ (g) → CO₂ (g) + 2H₂O (ℓ) + 890kJ

According to the equation,

2 moles of O₂ produces 890 kJ of heat

So, 0.72 moles of O₂ will produce:

Therefore, 0.72 moles of oxygen would produce 320.4 kJ of heat.
