Answer:

24.7 amu

Explanation:

An isotope is when an element can have different number of neutrons but they have same number of protons.

In order to calculate the average atomic mass with the given information do the following operations:

First change de percentages to fractional numbers, divide by 100.

I like to make a table, to organize all data and I believe is easier to understand.

65/100 = 0.65

35/100 = 0.35

% fraction

65.0 0.65

35.0 0.35

total100.0 1

Now multiply each mass with their corresponding fraction

24 (0.65) = 15.6

26 (0.35) = 9.1

%    fraction uma uma

65.0 0.65 24 15.6

35.0 0.35 26 9.1

total100.0    1          24.7

Finally you add the resulting mass and the units will be in uma.

15.6+9.1 = 24.7

Therefore the average atomic mass of this element will be 24.7 uma.

What is the mass of NaCl required to make 140 grams of a 12% solution of NaCl in water?
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

C. 17 grams.

Explanation:

∵ mass % = [mass of solute/mass of solution] x 100.

mass of solute (NaCl) = ??? g & mass of solution = 140.0 g.

<em>∴ mass of NaCl = (mass %)(mass of solution)/100 </em>= (12.0)(140.0)/100 = <em>16.80 g ≅ 17.0 g.</em>

SpyIntel [72]
To determine whether the amount of H2 in the lab is dangerous, we first need to know how much hydrogen gas is present in the room in units of percent by volume. For this particular problem, we cannot exactly determine since we do not know the total volume of the room. Hope this answers the question.

On the basis of electronegativity, which of these pairs of elements is most likely to form monatomic ions?
mixer [17]

Answer is: Cl and Na.

sodium and chlorine are in third period and they have very different properties. Sodium is solid metal and chlorine is gaseous nonmetal.

They form compound NaCl (Sodium chloride), because sodium lost one valence electron and form cation Na⁺, chlorine gain one electron and form anion Cl⁻.

Electron configuration of sodium atom: ₁₁Na 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s¹.

Electron configuration of chlorine atom: ₁₇Cl 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵.

Other examples are metal-metal pairs and they do not form cation and anion.
