Answer:

This element is Rubidium (Rb) and has an average atomic mass of 85.468 u

Explanation:

The average mass of an element is calculated by taking the average of the atomic masses of its stable isotopes.

The enitre atomic mass = 100 % or 1

⇒ this consists of X-85 with 72.17 % abundance  with atomic massof  84.9118 g/mol

72.17 % = 0.7217

⇒ this consists of X-87 with  27.83 % abundance with atomic mass of 86.9092 g/mol

27.83 % = 0.2783

To calculate the mass of this isotope we use the following:

0.7271 * 84.9118 + 0.2783 * 86.9092 =85.468 g/mol

This element is Rubidium(Rb) and has an average atomic mass of 85.468 u

If there are no changes in the oxidation state of the reactants or products of a particular reaction, that reaction is not a red
dmitriy555 [2]
Yes, that is true. in order for it to be a redox reaction, both oxidation and reduction must be occurring.

What is the frequency of a wave traveling west with a velocity of 414 meters per second and a wavelength of 1.8 meters? hertz
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

230hz

Explanation:

Hello,

To solve this question, we gave to use the relationship between velocity-frequency-wavelength to find the frequency in this question.

V = Fλ

V = velocity or speed of the wave

F = frequency of the wave

λ = wavelength of the wave

Data;

V = 414m/s

λ = 1.8m

f = ?

V = fλ

f = v/λ

f = 414/1.8

f = 230hz

The frequency of the wave is 230hz

Can I get help with this, please!!

Pressure in the submarine when the temperature is changed to 293 K is 108.9 K Pa

Explanation:

Pressure in the submarine = 108.9 kPa

Volume, V = 2.4 * 10^5 L

Pressure, P = 116k Pa

Temperature, T = 312 K

Ideal gas law: PV = nRT  or  n = PV / RT

So, moles of gas, n =116 KPa * 2.4 * 10 ^5L / 8.314 LK Pa K^-1 *312 K

= 1.073 *10^4 mol

when temperature is changed to 293K,

PV = nRT  or P = nRT / V

=1.073 *10^4 mol *8.314 LK Pa mol^-1 K^-1 *293 K / 2.4*10^5L

=108.9 K Pa

Pressure in the submarine when the temperature is changed to 293 K is 108.9 K Pa

Look at this compound, why does magnesium has dative and covalent bonds with nitrogen? ...?
HACTEHA [7]
<span>The solid lines between N and Mg are actually ionic bonds. N has 5 valence electrons (2 of which are paired). Of the 3 that are unpaired, 2 are part of covalent bonds with adjacent carbon atoms. N accepts an extra electron to complete its octet, but gets a formal charge of -1. This allows for formation of an ionic bond with Mg, which is +2. Two of these charged N atoms therefore neutralize the charge of the central Mg. As for the coordinate (dative) covalent bonds, Mg has empty orbitals - the ionic bonds with the charged N atoms give it only 4/8 possible valence electrons.


The other two N atoms (dotted lines) have a formal charge of 0 since they form three covalent bonds with adjacent carbon atoms, but they still have a lone pair. Therefore, just to improve stability, each of these N atoms can "donate" its lone pair to Mg in order to complete its octet.


I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly. We hope to answer more of your questions and inquiries soon. Have a nice day ahead!
