Answer:
For example, the chemical formula for water is H2O which indicates that 2 atoms of Hydrogen combines with 1 atom of oxygen.
Explanation:
The chemical formula for sodium chloride (Salt) is NaCl indicating that one atom of sodium combines with one atom of chlorine in a one-to-one ratio.
Probably the CO2 concentration. If the earth gets warmer by rising greenhouse gases (one of which is CO2), the amount of rainfall and precipitation increases. I am not an expert, but that's my first guess.
The average atomic mass of oxygen is the atomic mass with respect to 1/12th the mass of a C-12 atom, related to natural abundance.
amu - atomic mass units
O-16 - 15.995 amu
O-17 - 16.999 amu
O-18 - 17.999 amu
the average atomic mass is 15.9994 amu
average atomic mass = ∑atomic mass of each isotope * relative abundance percentage
in other words the average atomic mass is closer to the atomic mass of the most abundant isotope. In this case 15.9994 is closest to 15.995 amu which is the atomic mass of O-16.
This means that O-16 is the most abundant isotope.
