An interplanetary probe returns to Earth with soil samples. The atoms in the sample are sorted by their number of protons. A new

element is discovered! The new element has 120 protons. 20.0% of these new atoms have 120 neutrons, and the remaining 80.0% have 110 neutrons. They decide to call the new element Bolognium, Bo. What AVERAGE atomic mass should the scientists report in amu? Enter your answer below to the nearest WHOLE NUMBER with no units.

Answer is: the average atomic mass is 232.

ω₁ = 20% ÷ 100%.

ω₁ = 0.20.

ω₂ = 80% ÷ 100%.

ω₂ = 0.80.

Ar₁ = 120 (number of protons) + 120 (number of neutrons).

Ar₁ = 240.

Ar₂ = 120 + 110 .

Ar₂ = 230.

Average atomic mass of atoms of bolognium =  

Ar₁ · ω₁ + Ar₂ · ω₂.  

Average atomic mass of atoms of bolognium =  240 · 0.2 + 230 · 0.8.  

Average atomic mass of atoms of bolognium = 48 + 184.  

Average atomic mass of atoms of bolognium = 232.

There are two naturally occurring isotopes of boron. 10 B has a mass of 10.0129 u. 11 B has a mass of 11.0093 u. Determine the a
Vanyuwa [196]
<h2>Natural Abundance for 10B is 19.60%</h2>

Explanation:

  • The natural isotopic abundance of 10B is 19.60%.
  • The natural isotopic abundance of 11B is 80.40%.
  • The isotopic masses of boron are 10.0129 u and 11.009 u respectively.

For calculation of abundance of both the isotopes -

Supposing it was 50/50, the average mass would be 10.5, so to increase the mass we need a more percentage of 11.

Determining it as an equation -

10x + 11y= 10.8

x+y=1 (ratio)

10x + 10y = 10

By taking the denominator away from the numerator

we get;

y = 0.8

x + y = 1

∴ x = 0.2

To get percentages  we need to multiply it by 100

So, the calculated abundance is 80% for 11 B and 20% 10  B.

A bowling ball is pushed with a force of 22.0 N and accelerates at 5.5 m/s^2 what is the mass of the bowling ball?
Kruka [31]

Data:

F (force) = 22.0 N

m (mass) = ? (in Kg)

a (acceleration) = 5.5 m/s²

We apply the data to the Resultant Force formula, we have:

4.0 kg

I hope this helps. =)

Which is a nonpolar molecule?
Brilliant_brown [7]
A molecule may be nonpolar either when there is an equal sharing of electrons between the two atoms of a diatomic molecule or because of the symmetrical <span>arrangement of polar bonds in a more complex molecule.</span>

Consider the following elementary reaction:
Fudgin [204]

Explanation:

The equation is given as;

N2O(g) ⇄ N2(g) +  O(g)

k₁ = Forward reaction

k₋₁ = Reverse Reaction

Equilibrium concentration (K) = k₁ / k₋₁

K = \frac{[N2O] }{[N2] [ O]}
