The average atomic mass of iron : 55.85 amu

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

The elements in nature have several types of isotopes

Isotopes are atoms whose no-atom has the same number of protons while still having a different number of neutrons.

An atomic mass unit = amu is a r<em>elative atomic mass of 1/12 the mass of an atom of carbon-12. </em>

The 'amu' unit has now been replaced with a unit of 'u' only

Atomic mass is the average atomic mass of all its isotopes

atomic mass X = mass isotope 1 . % + mass isotope 2.% ...

The average atomic mass of iron

$\tt =0.15\times 55+0.85\times 56\\\\=\boxed{\bold{55.85~amu}}$

Which equation represents a redox reaction?

labwork [276]

Answer:

D. $2NaBr + Cl_2\rightarrow 2NaCl + Br_2$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, for the given set of chemical reactions, it is possible to infer that D. is a categorized as redox due to the following:

Since both chlorine and bromine remain as diatomic gases, their oxidation states in such a form is 0, but as anions with lithium cations they have a charge of - according to the following reaction and half-reactions:

$2NaBr + Cl_2\rightarrow 2NaCl + Br_2$

$Cl_2^0+2e^-\rightarrow 2Cl ^-\\\\2Br^- \rightarrow Br_2^0+2e^-$

Unlike the other reactions whereas no change in the oxidation states is evidenced.

Concerning Boyle's Law, if you had a gas at a pressure of 101 kPa and decreased the volume of the container holding the gas to o

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

$P_2=404 kPa$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the Boyle's is mathematically defined via:

$P_1V_1=P_2V_2$

Which stands for an inversely proportional relationship between volume and pressure, it means the higher the volume the lower the pressure and vice versa. In such a way, since the volume is decreased to one quarter, we can write:

$V_2=\frac{1}{4} V_1$

We can compute the new pressure:

$P_2=\frac{P_1V_1}{V_2} =\frac{P_1V_1}{\frac{1}{4} V_1} =\frac{101kPa*V_1}{\frac{1}{4} V_1} \\\\P_2=4*101kPa\\\\\\P_2=404 kPa$

Which means the pressure is increased by a factor of four.

Regards.

If a liter of water is cooled from 50 to 30 what happens to its volume

dangina [55]

In general when you heat up a liquid such as water its volume "increases" as the heat energy causes the water molecules to move leading to more space between molecules causing it to occupy a larger volume.

hope that helps
