Why is the mass in amu of a carbon-12 atom reported as 12.011 in the periodic table of the elements?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Bas_tet [7]3 years ago
7 0

The mass of an element listed in the Periodic Table is the weighted average of all its naturally occurring isotopes.

Naturally occurring carbon is about

99 % carbon-12 (12.000 u) + 1 % carbon-13 (13.003 u).

That extra carbon-13 makes the <em>average atomic mass</em>  greater than 12.000 u.

Suppose that a newly discovered element called centium has 3 isotopes that occure in nature. These are centium -200, centium -20
vodomira [7]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 203.8 g

Explanation:

Data

Average atomic mass = ?

Centium-200

Centium-203

Centium-209

Equal amounts

Process

1.- Determine the abundance of each isotope.

If they are in equal amounts in nature, just divide 100 by 3

             100/3 = 33.33 % or 0.333

2.- Determine the Average atomic mass

Average atomic mass = Atomic mass 1 x abundance + Atomic mass 2 x

                                        abundance + Atomic mass 3 x abundance

- Substitution

Average atomic mass = 200 x 0.333 + 203 x 0.333 + 209 x 0.333

- Simplification

Average atomic mass = 66.6 + 67.6 + 69.6

Result

Average atomic mass = 203.8 g

How does crop rotation help preserve soil?
vitfil [10]

Answer:Crop rotation also helps to battle against the forces of erosion. Rotating crops helps to improve soil stability by alternating between crops with deep roots and those with shallow roots. Pests are also deterred by eliminating their food source on a regular basis. Crop rotation is the practice of growing a series of dissimilar or different types of crops in the same area in sequenced seasons. It is done so that the soil of farms is not used for only one set of nutrients. It helps in reducing soil erosion and increases soil fertility and crop yield. The goal of crop rotation is to reduce the amount of the pest population present in the soil. Some pathogens that cause diseases survive in the soil from year to year in one form or the other, usually as sclerotia, spores, or hyphae. Rotating to non-host crops prevents the buildup of large populations of pathogens.

Explanation: the answer would be 4

Increases soil fertility. ...

Increases crop yield. ...

Increase in soil nutrients. ...

Reduces soil erosion. ...

Limits concentration of pests and diseases. ...

Reduces the stress of weeds. ...

Improves the soil structure. ...

Reduces pollution.

A geologist finds ripples preserved in ancient sedimentary rock that look just like ripples made by water in mud. He concludes t
MArishka [77]

Answer:

D.  because water and mud behaved in a similar way in the past as they do today

Explanation:

One of the fundamental theories in the field of earth science is the theory of uniformitarianism.

Uniformitarianism was proposed by James Hutton in the 18th century in Scotland. The theory states that "geologic processes occurring today have occurred in times past and that the present is the key to past".

The simple meaning of the theory is that, the processes on earth today such as weathering, erosion, e.t.c have also occurred in times past. Those processes still occur today and an understanding of such events today will help us have a better insight into the past.

Therefore, ripple marks just as they form today from action of mud and water would be formed in a similar way in the past.
