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.

The pathway by which carbon is transferred from living organisms to the atmosphere is called:
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

cellular respiration

Explanation:

All exergonic processes produced in the cell, through which substances oxidize and chemical energy is released, are grouped under the name of cellular respiration, but to break down an organic molecule the cells employ, mainly dehydrogenations that can be carried carried out in the presence or absence of atmospheric O2 oxygen. There are therefore two types of breathing: aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration. The latter also called fermentation.

Aerobic respiration  (oxidative phosphorylation)

- Use molecular O2.

- It degrades glucose to CO2 and H2O

- Exergonic

- Recovers about 50% of chemical energy

- Present in most organisms.

- It uses enzymes located in the mitochondria.
