<span>The answer is: more protons than neutrons The stability of the nucleus is based on the ratio of neutrons and protons present in the nucleus. if the number of protons is equal to the number neutrons then the nucleus is stable but in case the number of protons is more than the number neutrons or the other way round the nucleus to gain stability starts interconversion of neutron to proton or electron or decreases proton numbers. In case of nucleus containing high energy, the nucleus releases it. Such nuclei which release energy to gain stability are called radioactive nuclei and the phenomenon is called radioactivity.</span>

How many grams are there in 7.5x10^23 molecules of H2SO4
horsena [70]
Moles of H2SO4= 7.5x10^23/ 6.02x10^23 = 1.25 (3sf) moles of H2SO4

Mass of 1 mole of H2SO4= 98.1g

Therefore mass of 7.5x10^23 molecules of H2SO4= 122.63g

Calculate the atomic mass for copper using the weighted average mass method. Express your answer using two decimal places and in
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

63. 55 amu

Explanation:

Copper is known to exist in two different isotopes which are Cu-63 and Cu-65.

Cu-63 has an atomic mass of 62.93 amu and it has an abundance of 69.15%.

Similarly,

Cu-65 has an atomic mass of 64.93 amu and it has an abundance of 30.85%

Therefore, using the weighted average mass method, the atomic mass of copper is:

Atomic mass of copper = (0.6915*62.93) amu + (0.3085*64.93) amu = 43.52 amu + 20.03 amu = 63.55 amu

Thus, the atomic mass of copper (express in two decimal places) is 63.55 amu
