Answer:

Average atomic mass = 21.38 amu.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of first isotope = 21 amu

Abundance of first isotope = 62%

Mass of second isotope = 22 amu

Abundance of second isotope = 38%

Average atomic mass = ?

Solution:

Average atomic mass  = (abundance of 1st isotope × its atomic mass) +(abundance of 2nd isotope × its atomic mass)  / 100

Average atomic mass  = (62×21)+(38×22) /100

Average atomic mass =  1302 +836 / 100

Average atomic mass = 2138 / 100

Average atomic mass = 21.38 amu.

If the outside temperature decreases by 20 degrees Celsius, what will happen to a reptile’s body temperature?
oksian1 [2.3K]

The reptile's body temperature rises when the external temperature rises. When the temperature drops, so does his body temperature. If a reptile feels cold because the external temperatures have made his blood cold, he'll lie in the sun to warm up. However, if the external temperature is too high, he scurries under a rock, dives in a pool or finds some kind of shade where he can cool down. Reptiles and other animals with ectothermic systems are vulnerable to extreme changes in temperature because they can't control their temperatures internally. They can control their body temperatures only by moving to an environment with a suitable ambient temperature.
