Answer:

The atomic mass of rubidium is 85.468 u

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the average atomic mass of an element, we take the weight average of the atomic masses of its naturally occurring isotopes. This means that alll isotopes together are calculated by multiplying the atomic mass  and the percentage of abundance . So we have sum of all the different isotopes ( which is 100 % of abundance)

For naturally occurring rubidium, there are 2 isotopes.

mass of Rb-85 x abundance + mass of Rb-87 x abundance

84.9118 x 0.7217 + 86.9092 x 0.2783 = 85,46767642

On the periodic table we can see for Rubidium 85.468 u which is the average atomic mass of Rubium ( and its 2 naturally occurring isotopes).

Select the postulate that is illustrated for the real numbers 5+(-5)=0
ozzi

In this question , we have to find the postulate that is illustrated for the real numbers

5+(-5) = 0

The postulate is Additive inverse postulate which states that

a+ (-a) =0

Where a is the real number and -a is the opposite of a. It states that , if opposite of a number is added with the number, the result is 0 .

Which of the following shows the length of the third side, in inches, of the triangle below? (1 point)
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

2, sqrt of 7633

Step-by-step explanation:

for now, we'll leave the 3rd side as x

y using the Pythagorean theorem, we can conclude that (1) 48^2+x^2=73^2 or (2) 48^2+73^2=x^2.

1. If we conclude the x isn't the longest, the x would be 3025 which is the sqrt of 55, now is invalid because the 2 smallest sides can't be more than the longest side when they add up 55+48>73 so that is invalid

2. Then, it leaves us with only 1 choice left! concluding that the 3rd side is the longest. Which the answer is sqrt of 7633

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

The percent error is 40%.

Step-by-step explanation:

5 (actual time) - 3 (estimated time) = 2

2 divided by 5 (actual time) = 0.4

0.4 x 100 = 40%
