A hypothetical element x has 3 naturally occurring isotopes: 41.20% of 21x, with an atomic weight of 21.016 amu, 50.12% of 22x,

with an atomic weight of 21.942 amu, and 8.68% of 24x, with an atomic weight of 23.974 amu. on the basis of these data, calculate the average atomic weight of element x. report your answer to two decimal places.

The average atomic weight is calculated by adding up the products of the percentage abundance and atomic weight. In this item, we have the equation,

     A = (0.412)(21.016 amu) + (0.5012)(21.942 amu) + (0.0868)(23.974 amu)

Simplifying the operation will give us the answer of 21.74 amu.

<em>Answer: 21.74 amu</em>

for the reaction 2Fe + O2 = 2FeO, how many grams of iron oxide are produced from 8.00 mol of iron? when o2 is an excess
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

2Fe + O₂ -------------------> 2FeO

8 mol Fe produce

8 mol Fe * 2 mol FeO / 2 mol Fe = 8 mol FeO

Mass of FeO = 8 mol FeO * 71.85 g/mol = 574.8 grams FeO

Explanation:

Having 8 mol of Iron means 8 moles of iron oxide can be produced. Each mole of iron oxide has a molecular weight of 71.85 grams. Therefore, 8 moles of iron oxide should weight 574.8 grams.

Cell theory states that all the living organisms are made up of basic structural and functional units, cells. All cells divide and give rise to new cells. All the cells have similar chemical composition. The nuclei acid DNA present in the chromosomes helps in carrying hereditary information from generation to generation. So, in order to sustain life the cells must contain DNA either enclosed in the nucleus or freely floating in the cytoplasm.

Dna is made up of nitrogenous base pairs. the bases bond in which of the following patterns?
Anit [1.1K]
The nitrogenous bases on the two strands of DNA pair up, purine with pyrimidine (A with T, G with C), and are held together by weak hydrogen bonds. Watson and Crick discovered that DNA had two sides, or strands, and that these strands were twisted together like a twisted ladder -- the double helix.Mar
