It protects the alloy against rusting.

Stainless steels contain more than 10% chromium by mass, but almost no carbon. Stainless steels are durable because chromium forms an oxide that protects the steel from rusting. But stainless steel is more brittle than steels that contain more carbon.

Which of the substances evaporated first? and Which of the substances evaporated least?
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

The strength of the intermolecular forces in isopropyl alcohol are in between water and acetone, but probably closer to acetone because the water took much longer to evaporate. ... Acetone does not participate in hydrogen bonding, so its intermolecular forces are comparatively weaker, and it evaporates most quickly.

There are two naturally occurring isotopes of copper. 63cu has a mass of 62.9296 amu. 65cu has a mass of 64.9278 amu. determine
SSSSS [86.1K]
1) You need to use the atomic mass of copper.


You can find it in a periodic table. It is 63.546 amu.


2) The atomic mass is the weigthed mass of the different isotopes.


This is, the atomic mass of one element is the atomic mass of each isotope times its corresponding abundance:


=> atomic mass of the element = abundance isotope 1 * atomic mass isotope 1 + abundance isotope 2 *  atomic mass isotope 2 + ....+abundance isotope n * atomic mass isotope n.


3) The statement tells there are two isotopes so the abundance of one is x and the abundance of the other is 1 - x


=> 63.546 amu = x * 62.9296 amu + (1-x)*64.9278


=> 63.546 = 62.9296x + 64.9278 - 64.9278x


=> 64.9278x - 62.9296 = 64.9278 - 63.546


=> 1.9982x = 1.3818


=> x = 1.3818 / 1.9982 = 0.6915 = 69.15%


=> 1 - x = 1 - 0.6915 = 0.3085 = 30.85%


Answer:


Cu-63 69.15%;


Cu-65 : 30.85%
