A certain element exists as two different isotopes. 76.00% of its atoms have a mass of 35.00 amu and 24.00% of its atoms have a

mass of 37.00 amu. What is the average atomic mass of this element? (Do not round your answer)

Answer:

35.48 uma

Explanation:

An isotope is when an element has equal numbers of protons but different mass value because it has different amount of neutrons.

To calculate the average atomic mass with the given data:

First change de percentages to fractional numbers, divide by 100.

Remember the sum of a percentage is equal to 100, but when you are adding the fractions the sum is equal to 1.

76/100 = 0.76

24/100 = 0.24

  %       fraction

76.00 0.76

24.00 0.24

total100.00 1.00

Now, multiply the mass with their corresponding fraction:

35(0.76) = 26.60

37(0.24) =  8.88

%      fraction amu amu

76.00 0.76 35         26.60

24.00 0.24 37         8.88

total100.00 1.00    average 35.48

Now you add the calculated mass to obtain the average atomic mass of the element.

And the value you will get is 35.48 amu.

I included an excel table so you can review it, I like to organize all the given data and the calculation in tables, also I think is easier to understand.

Choose whether the statements about oil sands are true or false. The viscosity of bitumen is about 100 times greater than the vi
Alexxx [7]

The First 2 statements stated above were false whereas the third one is a true statement.

Explanation:

  • The viscosity of bitumen is about 100 times greater than the viscosity of water - False

Reason - The viscosity of bitumen is about not 100 times greater than the viscosity of water, it is actually 100, 000 times greater.

  • Oil from oil sand deposits is only obtained by first heating the sands at high temperatures is False.

Reason- Oil from oil sand deposits is not obtained by first heating the sands at high temperatures but by using steams

  • Oil sands contain sand, water, and light crude oil is true.

Draw the structure(s) of the major organic product(s) of the following reaction. 1. lithium diisopropylamide / hexane 2. 1 eq. C
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

You are not providing the starting material, however, I manage to find a similar question to this, so I'm gonna use it as a basis to help you answer yours.

Now let's analyze what is happening in the reaction so we can predict the final product.

We have a ketone here, reacting at first with LDA. This is a very strong base that is commonly used in reactions with ketones and aldehydes to promove a condensation. To do this, as LDA is a strong base it will occur firts an acid base reaction, substracting the most acidic hydrogen in the molecule (Which in this case, is the Beta hydrogen of the carbonile). This will cause an enolate formation.

Then, this enolate will react with the CH3I and form a new product. The final result would be a ketone with a methyl group now attached. In the picture 2, you have the mechanism and final product.

Hope this helps
