The average atomic mass of the imaginary element : 47.255 amu

<h3>Further explanation  </h3>

The elements in nature have several types of isotopes  

Isotopes are elements that have the same Atomic Number (Proton)  

Atomic mass is the average atomic mass of all its isotopes  

Mass atom X = mass isotope 1 . % + mass isotope 2.% ..

isotope E-47 47.011 amu, 87.34%

isotope E-48 48.008 amu, 6.895

isotope E-49 50.009 amu, 5.77%

The average atomic mass :

\tt avg~mass=0.8734\times 47.011+0.06895\times 48.008+0.0577\times 50.009\\\\avg~mass=41.059+3.310+2.886\\\\avg~mass=47.255~amu

The acetic acid/acetate buffer system is a common buffer used in the laboratory. Write the equilibrium equation for the acetic a
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

CH₃CO₂H + H₂O ⇄ CH₃CO₂⁻ + H₃O⁺

Explanation:

A buffer is defined as the mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base or vice versa.

For the acetic acid buffer, CH₃CO₂H is the weak acid and its conjugate base is the ion without H⁺, that is CH₃CO₂⁻. The equilibrium equation in water knowing this is:

<h3>CH₃CO₂H + H₂O ⇄ CH₃CO₂⁻ + H₃O⁺</h3>

<em>In the equilibrium, the acid is dissociated in the conjugate base and the hydronium ion.</em>

When the glucose solution described in part A is connected to an unknown solution via a semipermeable membrane, the unknown solu
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

The unknown solution had the higher concentration.

Explanation:

When two solutions are separated by a semi-permeable membrane, depending on the concentration gradient between the two solutions, there is a tendency for water molecules to move across the semi-permeable in order to establish an equilibrium concentration between the two solutions. This movement of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane in response to a concentration gradient is known as osmosis. In osmosis, water molecules moves from a region of lower solute concentration or higher water molecules concentration to a region of higher solute concentration or lower water molecules concentration until equilibrium concentration is attained.

Based on the observation that when the glucose solution described in part A is connected to an unknown solution via a semipermeable membrane, the unknown solution level rises, it means that water molecules have passed from the glucose solution through the semipermeable membrane into the unknown solution. Therefore, the solution has a higher solute concentration than the glucose solution.

What is the momentum of a 1,700 kg car travelling in a straight line at 13 m/s?
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

Explanation:

We know that momentum is the product of mass and velocity so here

mass (m) = 1700 kg

velocity (v) = 13 m/s

So now

momentum = m * v

                   = 1700 * 13

                   = 22100 kg m/s

hope it helps :)
