Answer:

Air is called a homogeneous mixture because all of the elements that make up air (oxygen, nitrogen, argon, carbon dioxide etc.) are not able to be distinguished between when you look at air.

Explanation:

A heterogeneous mixture would be something like trail mix. You can look at the bowl of trail mix and pick out the raisins from the nuts from the chocolate. A homogeneous mixture is something where the individual elements can't be picked out by the plain eye. When you look at air you can't say oh that part is oxygen and that is argon when you are going on a walk. Air is a solution and thus you can't pick out each part.

Do any of the elements have similar properties?

Marysya12 [62]

Hello! Charchar here!

Answer:

I don't know what the elements are soo

The elements in the first column of the Periodic Table (other than hydrogen) are known as Group 1A metals, or alkali metals. When you compare the chemical properties of these elements (lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium, and francium), what you'll notice is that they are all remarkably similar.

Hope this helped!

Naturally occurring element X exists in three isotopic forms: X-28 (27.979 amu, 92.21% abundance), X-29 (28.976 amu 4.70% abunda

bezimeni [28]

Answer: The average atomic mass of X is 28.09 amu

Explanation:

Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.

Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:

$\text{Average atomic mass }=\sum_{i=1}^n\text{(Atomic mass of an isotopes)}_i\times \text{(Fractional abundance})_i$ .....(1)

For isotope 1:

Mass of isotope 1 = 27.979 amu

Percentage abundance of isotope 1 = 92.21 %

Fractional abundance of isotope 1 = 0.9212

For isotope 2:

Mass of isotope 2 = 28.976 amu

Percentage abundance of isotope 2 = 4.70 %

Fractional abundance of isotope 2 = 0.0470

For isotope 3:

Mass of isotope 3 = 29.974 amu

Percentage abundance of isotope 3 = 3.09 %

Fractional abundance of isotope 3 = 0.0309

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Average atomic mass of X}=[(27.979\times 0.9212)+(28.976\times 0.0470)+(29.974\times 0.0309)]$

$\text{Average atomic mass of X}=28.09amu$

Hence, the average atomic mass of X is 28.09 amu

In order for matter or energy to be conserved, one must have a ____ system.

Leya [2.2K]

Closed system. If the system is not closed, matter or energy can escape from the system. an example of this is if you react magnesium and hydrochloric acid in a open system. The H₂ gas is going to escape making it look like some of the mass disappeared . in that same reaction some in an open system will also loose heat to the surrounding which will make it look like less heat was produced.
