Here is what radioactive decay is:
<span>Radioactive decay is the spontaneous breakdown of an atomic nucleus resulting in the release of energy and matter from the nucleus. Remember that a radioisotope has unstable nuclei that does not have enough binding energy to hold the nucleus together.</span>

The term “ average atomic mass “ is a ______average so is calculator different Lee from a normal average
hoa [83]

Average atomic mass of an element is a sum of the product of the isotope mass and its relative abundance.

For example: Chlorine has 2 isotopes with the following abundances

Cl(35): Atomic mass = 34.9688 amu; Abundance = 75.78%

Cl(37): Atomic mass = 36.9659 amu; Abundance = 24.22 %

Average atomic mass of Cl = 34.9688(0.7578) + 36.9659(0.2422) =

                                             = 26.4993 + 8.9531 = 35.4524 amu

Thus, the term “ average atomic mass “ is a <u>weighted</u> average so it is calculated differently from a normal average

The number of atoms or molecules in a mole is known as the __________ constant.
AnnZ [28]

Answer: Avogrado's Constant

Explanation:

One mole of a substance is equal to 6.022 × 10²³ units of that substance (such as atoms, molecules, or ions). The number 6.022 × 10²³ is known as Avogadro's number or Avogadro's constant. The concept of the mole can be used to convert between mass and number of particles.

To how much water should 100 ml of 18m sulfuric acid be added to prepare a 1.5m solution
SashulF [63]

Answer:

Take 100 ml of a 18 molar solution. The total number of moles is (1 liter/1000 ml) 100 ml 18 moles is 1.8 moles.

1.5 moles in 1 liter so If 1.1 liters of water is added, the total volume is 1.2 liters and 1.8 moles are dissolves in it. 1.8 moles/ 1.2 liters is 1.5 moles per liter.
