A fictional element has two isotopes and an atomic mass of 87.08 amu. if the first isotope is 86 amu and the second isotope has

a mass of 90 amu. which isotope has the greatest natural abundance?

The atomic mass of a certain element is summation of the product of the decimal equivalent of the percentage abundance and the given atomic mass of each of the isotope. If we let x be the percentage abundance of the 86 amu-isotope then, the second one is 1-x such that,
                      x(86) + (1 - x)(90) = 87.08
The value of x from the equation is 0.73. This value is already greater than 0.5. Thus, the isotope with greatest abundance is that which is 86 amu.

If element X has 65 protons, how many electrons does it have
Tomtit [17]
In an atom there are the same number of protons as electrons to start with. The answer would be 65 aswell.

Answer:

1. Covalent Bond

2. Ionic Bond

Explanation:

Covalent bonds are defined as the bond in which sharing of electrons takes place between atoms. The sharing of electrons is in equal number so that it form a stable balance of attraction and repulsion between atoms. In the given example of CO2 (first image) oxygen is sharing equal number of electrons with carbon to form a stable bond called covalent bond.

Ionic bonds are formed when valence electrons are transferred to other atoms and form oppositely charged ions. In ionic bond formation, the atoms that gain electrons become negatively charged and the atoms that loses electrons become positively charged. In the given example of Ca Cl2, Ca is also giving its 2 valence electrons to each Cl and there is no stable balance of attraction and repulsion between atoms.

Hence, the correct answer is:

1. Covalent Bond

2. Ionic Bond

CaCl2<br> Ca +<br> CI2<br> Balance this equation
Elis [28]

To balance Ca + Cl2 = CaCl2 you'll need to be sure to count all of atoms on each side of the chemical equation.

Once you know how many of each type of atom you can only change the coefficients (the numbers in front of atoms or compounds) to balance the equation for Calcium + Chlorine gas.

A ballon is inflated with 2.42L of helium at a temperature of 27.0°C. When put in the freezer, the volume changes to 2.37L and -
natita [175]

Answer:

838 torr  

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we can use the <em>Combined Gas Laws</em>:

p₁V₁/T₁ = p₂V₂/T₂            Multiply each side by T₁

   p₁V₁ = p₂V₂ × T₁/T₂     Divide each side by V₁

      p₁ = p₂ × V₂/V₁ × T₁/T₂

<em>Data: </em>

p₁ = ?;             V₁ = 2.42 L; T₁ =  27.0 °C

p₂ = 754 torr; V₂ = 2.37 L; T₂ =  -8.8 °C

Calculations:

(a) Convert <em>temperatures to kelvins </em>

T₁ = (27.0 + 273.15) K = 300.15 K

T₂ = (-8.8 + 273.15) K = 264.35 K

(b) Calculate the<em> pressure </em>

p₁ = 754 torr × (2.37 L/2.42) × (300.15/264.35)  

p₁ = 754 torr × 0.979 × 1.135

p₁ = 838 torr
