Answer : The atomic weight of the element is, 121.75 amu

Explanation :

Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.

Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:

\text{Average atomic mass }=\sum_{i=1}^n\text{(Atomic mass of an isotopes)}_i\times \text{(Fractional abundance})_i

As we are given that,

Mass of isotope 1 = 120.9038 amu

Percentage abundance of isotope 1 = 57.25 %

Fractional abundance of isotope 1 = 0.5725

Mass of isotope 2 = 122.8831 amu

Percentage abundance of isotope 2 = 100 - 57.25 = 42.75 %

Fractional abundance of isotope 2 = 0.4275

Now put all the given values in above formula, we get:

\text{Average atomic mass of element}=\sum[(120.9038\times 0.5725)+(122.8831\times 0.4275)]

\text{Average atomic mass of element}=121.75amu

Therefore, the atomic weight of the element is, 121.75 amu

AysviL [449]

Answer:

0.9

Explanation:

h = 400 mm, h' = 325 mm

Let the coefficient of restitution be e.

h' = e^2 x h

325 = e^2 x 400

e^2 = 0.8125

e = 0.9

Yanka [14]

Answer:

It is an example of negative feedback mechanism

Explanation:

Negative feedback mechanism is the process by which the output of a system, process or mechanism is fed back into the input in order to reduce the error in the system.

In the system described in this question, the reabsorption of water is the output, a feedback signal is sent to the control center, which is the input in order to control the release of the hormone responsible for reabsorption of water into the blood.
