Rocks at Earth's surface are attacked by rain and wind. They are also attacked by ice. Pieces of rock are broken off. This is called weathering. it happens over thousands of years.

There are two main ways in which rock breaks down to form soil:

Physical weathering

Chemical weathering

Rubidium has two naturally occurring isotopes, rubidium -85 ( atomic mass = 84.9118 amu; abundance = 72.15%) and rubidium -87 (a
son4ous [18]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: 85.458 amu

Explanation:

data

Rubidium-85   A = 84.9118 amu   abundance = 72.15%  

Rubidium - 87  A = 86.9092 amu abundance = 27.85%

Atomic weight = ?

Atomic weight = 84.9118(0.7215) + 86.9092(0.2785)

Atomic weight = 61.2538 + 24.2042

Atomic weight = 85.458 amu

Cobalt-59 is a stable isotope and cobalt-60 is an unstable or radioactive isotope. These two isotopes differ in the number of -
pogonyaev
Cobalt-59 and Cobalt-60 differ in that they have different mass number which means they have different number of neutrons. Isotopes are atoms of the same element with similar atomic number but different mass number. Cobalt-60, has a number of uses, which includes, being used to irradiate food sources as a method of preserving food, used in industrial radiography to detect structural flaws in metal parts among other uses.

A 4.36-g sample of an unknown alkali metal hydroxide is dissolved in 100.0 mL of water. An acid-base indicator is added and the
Levart [38]

Answer:

a. 102.6g/mol

b. Rb⁺

Explanation:

a. The unknown base, XOH, <em>Where X is the alkali metal</em>, reacts with HCl thus:

XOH + HCl → H₂O + XCl

<em>Where 1 mole of the hydroxide reacts per mole of acid. </em>

Moles of HCl spent to reach the equivalence point are:

17.0mL = 0.017L ₓ (2.50mol / L) = 0.0425moles of HCl

As 1 mole of HCl reacts with 1 mole of base, moles of base are 0.0425 moles.

Molar mass of a compound is the ratio between mass in grams and moles of substance, that is:

4.36g / 0.0425mol =

<h3>102.6g/mol</h3>

b) Molar mass of OH is 17g/mol, thus, the molar mass of the alkali metal is:

102.6g/mol - 17g/mol  = 85.6g/mol

The mass of Rb is 85.5g/mol, thus, the identity of the alkali metal is

<h3>Rb⁺</h3>
