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

What rules should you follow when adding and subtracting ?
wariber [46]
Adding and subtracting with scientific notation may require more care, because the rule for adding and subtracting exponential expressions is that the expressions must havelike terms<span>. Remember that to be </span>like terms<span>, two expressions must have exactly the same base numbers to exactly the same powers. Thinking about decimal arithmetic, the requirement that we have the same powers makes sense, because that guarantees that all of the place values are lined up properly.</span>

Which type of relationship exists between Alaskan brown bears and salmon? A. predation B. mutualism C. competition D. commensali
aksik [14]

Answer:

A. predation.

Explanation:

Predation is a type of ecological interaction in which one organism which is known as predator feeds upon another organism thereby killing it. The organism which is killed by predator is known as prey. In such interaction one organism is benefited while another one is harmed.

Brown bears of Alaska feed upon salmon. In order to so they have developed many ways which include waiting at the bottom of falls from where salmons pass by or standing at the bottom of the falls.

How much thermal energy (q) is required to heat 15.2g of a metal (specific heat=0.397J/C) from 21.0C to 40.3C? Show steps please
Elena L [17]
Q = ?

Cp = 0.397 J/ºC

Δt =  40.3 - 21.0<span> => 19.3</span><span> ºC</span>

m = 15.2 g

Q = m x Cp x Δt

Q = 15.2 x 0.397 x 19.3

Q ≈ 116.46 J
