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.

Briefly compare and contrast the relative resistance to ph change of the seven solutions
JulsSmile [24]
PH  stands for "Potential Hydrogen" and the PH scale ranges from 0-14. PH refers to the ability to attract hydrogen ions.

The PH of a solution either indicates acidity of the solution or alkalinity of the solution. A solution which has PH 7 above is a base solution where a solution with PH less than 7 is an acidic solution.

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

Mendeleev had left the noble gases out of his periodic table.

Explanation:

Mendeleev's periodic table is pictured in the image attached to the question.

Mendeleev's table obviously lacked the noble gases. The reason for this grave omission is simple; the noble gases were not known as at the time when he formulated his periodic table. There weren't any known elements  whose properties were similar to the  properties of the noble gases. This would have lead him to suspect their existence.

Why is it necessary to use a new salt bridge for each<br> salt bridge for each electrochemical cell?
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

salt bridge balances the charge when electrons move from one half cell to another half cell.

Explanation:

Explanation: A salt bridge balances the charge when electrons move from one half cell to another half cell. During this process the salt bridge uses its electrolyte solution which further helps in balancing charges in both the half cells. ... Therefore, for each electrochemical cell a new salt bridge is used.
