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).

A right triangle has side links that are consecutive integers and a perimeter of 12 feet. what are the angles of the triangle
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

The sides are 3, 4, and 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let one side be 'n', if the side lengths are consecutive integers, we have

n

n + 1

and

n + 2 are our side lengths.   adding 1 to n gives us the next integer.  Adding 2 to n gives use the second consecutive integer to n

The perimeter is 12, so our equation is..

n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) = 12

Now combine like terms and solve..

   n + n + 1 + n + 2 = 12

       3n + 3 = 12

           3n = 9        (subtract  3 from both is sides)

               n = 3        (divide by 3 on both sides)

Since n = 3,

n + 1 = 4 and

n + 2 = 5

So the sides are 3, 4, and 5

7x-18 is less than or equal to 32
gavmur [86]
We have
7x - 18 \leqslant 32 \\ 7x - 18 + 18 \leqslant 32 + 18 \\ 7x \leqslant 50 \\ x \leqslant 50  \div 7 \\
we have x is less than or equal 50/7

A n s w e r: 16

e x: A= 1/2 * 20 * 16 you brake in half the 20 into 10 ( 1/2 divided by 20 is 10 because half of 20 is 10) after you get 10 you bring down the 16 and you multiply the 10 & 16 and you get “016” also as “16”
