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.

How would earths climate differ if water were not a polar molecule
ser-zykov [4K]
Water molecules bond to each other in a covalent bond where they stay connected. They also have poles like a magnet, making it a polar molecule.
If water is no longer polar the surface tension would lower to the point where ice can no longer float, the water would freeze, cooling the climate considerably.

A client says, "alcohol is not the cause of my problems. i can stop drinking any time i want." what is the short-term goal of th
Stella [2.4K]
It is important to make the client understand that while alcohol might not be the cause of their problems or all of their problems it does affect the process of their decision making depending on the situation and how they feel towards different situations. A short-term goal would be to go a week without drinking alcohol and to note their changes in mood, behavior towards others and different challenges that they face. Another option is to set a "challenge" to see how long the client can go without the consumption of alcohol, the longer they go without the bigger the changes they will see in their day to day life.
