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).

10. Create a scenario to explain why 3P3=3!.
Flauer [41]

Step-by-step explanation:

Permutation :The number of ways to choose a sample of r elements from a set of n distinct objects where order does matter and replacements are not allowed.

                                  nPr = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!}

Factorial : There are n! ways of arranging n distinct objects into an ordered sequence.  

Considering a situation when n = r in a permutation, nPr reduces to n!, a simple factorial of n.

Proof: 3P3 = 3!

n = 3 and r = 3

                                   3P3 = \frac{3!}{(3-3)!}

                                   3P3 = \frac{3!}{(0)!}

But 0! = 1

                                    3P3 = 3!

Tickets to a show cost $5.50 for adults and $4.25 for students. A family is purchasing 2 adult tickets and 3 student tickets.
jarptica [38.1K]

The exact cost is $23.75 for the show, and the exact change they should get is $1.25.

An adult ticket to the show costs $5.50

A student ticket to the show costs $4.25.

A family buys two adult tickets and three student tickets. This would imply that the total cost of two adult tickets would be

⇒ 2 × 5.5 = $11

It also implies that the total cost of three student tickets is

3 × 4.25 = $12.75

The total cost of two adult tickets and three student tickets is

⇒ 11 + 12.75 = $23.75

If the family pays $25, the exact change they should get is

⇒ 25 - 23.75 = $1.25

Thus, the exact cost is $23.75 for the show, and the exact change they should get is $1.25.
