The average atomic mass if the element above is calculated by the sum of the product of the isotope abundance and its atomic mass unit. It is expressed as:

Average atomic mass = Σ xi(Mi)
<span>Average atomic mass = (.7547 x 248.7) + (.2453 x 249.4) = 248.87
</span>
Hope this helps.

Answer:

248.9 uma

Explanation:

We calculate the average atomic mass using the following formula

m= \frac{(m_1.\%_1)+(m_2.\%_2)}{100} \\

This formula depends on how many isotopes the atom has.

If the atom had three isotopes another term would be added to the formula

m1= 248.7 uma\\\%_1= 75.47\%\\m_2= 249.4 uma\\\%_2= 24.53\%

m= \frac{(248.7)(75.47)+(249.4)(24.53)}{100}\\ m=248.9 uma

Calculate the volume of oxygen required to burn 12.00 l of ethane gas, c2h6, to produce carbon dioxide and water, if the volumes
kirza4 [7]
The  volume of   oxygen required  to  burn  12.00 L  ethane is calculated  as  follows

find the moles  of C2H6  used

At  STP  1 mole  is  always =  22.4 L, what about  12.00 L

= ( 12.00L  x 1 moles)  22.4 L = 0.536  moles

write the   reacting equation

2C2H6+  7O2 = 4CO2  + 6H2O
by  use  of mole  ratio  between  C2H6 :O2   which is 2:7  the  moles  of O2 

= 0.536  x7/2=  1.876  moles

again  at  STP  1mole =  22.4 L  what  about 1.876 moles

=    22.4 L x 1.876  moles/ 1 mole =  42.02 L

Do sound waves travel best in dense or less dense areas?
velikii [3]
Thus, sound will travel at a slower rate in the denser object. If sound waves of the same energy were passed through a block of wood and a block of steel, which is more dense than the wood, the molecules of the steel would vibrate at a slower rate. Thus, sound passes more quickly through the wood, which is less dense.

Which element does X represent in the following expression: 2512X?
pogonyaev
<span>I bet this is the notation used in nuclear reactions. The superscript represents the mass number while the subscript represents the atomic number of the element X. So, we find the element with an atomic number of 12. That would be Magnesium or Mg.</span>
