There are two naturally occurring isotopes of gallium:  mass of Ga-69 isotope is 68.9256 amu and its percentage abundance is 60.11%, let the mass of other isotope that is Ga-71 be X, the percentage abundance can be calculated as:

%Ga-71=100-60.11=39.89%

Atomic mass of an element is calculated by taking sum of atomic masses of its isotopes multiplied by their percentage abundance.

Thus, in this case:

Atomic mass= m(Ga-69)×%(Ga-69)+X×%(Ga-71)

From the periodic table, atomic mass of Ga is 69.723 amu.

Putting the values,

69.723 amu=(68.9256 amu)(\frac{60.11}{100})+X(\frac{39.89}{100})

Thus,

69.723 amu=41.4312 amu+X(\frac{39.89}{100})

Rearranging,

X=\frac{69.723 amu-41.4312 amu}{0.3989}=70.9246 amu

Therefore, mass of Ga-71 isotope is 70.9246 amu.

Answer: The atomic mass of gallium-71 is 70.92 amu.

Explanation:

Mass of isotope Ga-69 = 68.9256 amu

% abundance of isotope Ga-69 = 60.11% = \frac{60.11}{100}=0.6011

Mass of isotope Ga-71 = ?

% abundance of isotope Ga-71 = (100-60.11)% = \frac{39.89}{100}=0.3989

Formula used for average atomic mass of an element :

\text{ Average atomic mass of an element}=\sum(\text{atomic mass of an isotopes}\times {{\text { fractional abundance}})

\text{ Average atomic mass of an element}=69.723amu

69.723 =\sum[(68.9256\times 0.6011)+(x\times 0.3989)]

x=70.92amu

Therefore, the atomic mass of gallium-71  is 70.92 amu.

Silver is a white metal that is an excellent conductor. Silver tarnishes when exposed to air and light. The density of silver is
Stells [14]

Answer:

c tarnishes in air

Explanation:

After silver has been exposed to air that contains sulphur gases, discoloration would occur. there would be darkening that is caused by the reaction with gases.When any silver object tarnishes, it brings about a disfiguring of that object. Hydrogen sulphide would be needed for this to happen. silver sulphide is black and a if a thin layer should form on any surface, it ill darken it. This  is what we refer to as tarnishing.
