Answer:

35.45 amu is the average atomic mass of chlorine.

Explanation:

The average atomic mass is given :

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

Atomic mass of 35-Cl = 34.968 amu

Percentage abundance of 35-Cl = 75.53%

Fractional abundance of 35-Cl = 0.7553

Atomic mass of 37-Cl = 36.956 amu

Percentage abundance of 37-Cl = 24.47%

Fractional abundance of 37-Cl = 0.2447

Average atomic mass of chlorine:

=34.968 amu\times 0.7553+36.956 amu\times 0.2447=35.45 amu

35.45 amu is the average atomic mass of chlorine.

Which of the followings are true about D-glucose and L-glucose? A. They are furanose B. They are stereoisomers C. They are enant
zaharov [31]

Answer:

B. They are stereoisomers

C. They are enantiomers

Explanation:

Let us consider all the options

A. D and L-glucose are not necessarily furanose, they can also be in free form (open chain) or as a six-membered ring (pyranose)

B. These sugars are stereoisomers as they have the same molecular formula, same bonds but with the different spacial arrangement.

C. Two structures are called enantiomers, if they are stereoisomers and are mirror images of each other and are not-superimposable. The given pair of structures satisfy these conditions

D. Epimers are diastereoisomers (same molecular formula and connectivity having a different spacial arrangement but are not mirror images and non-superimposable) with only one different stereocenter (if there are more than one). This is not the case

E. All monosaccharides (any sugar that cannot be hydrolysed to a simpler sugar) are reducing sugars. So, this option is invalid

Compare and contrast the two kinds of chemical bonds (ionic and covalent)
attashe74 [19]
An Ionic bond is when you have a metal and a nonmetal element bonded together. In this kind of bonds, the metal atom takes electrons from the nonmetal. on other words, this bond involves the gaining and losing of electrons. The atom that receives the electrons becomes an anion (negatively charged ion) and the one that loses them becomes the cation (positively charged ion)

A covalent bond is a bond created between two nonmetals element. In here, both atoms share the electrons.

Both bonds involve interaction between atoms.

How does the water cycle ensure that we have water
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
The water cycle does not ensure that we have water. We must HAVE water to cause water cycle. 

Evaporation, then condensation, and finally precipitation.
This would happen in order.

Hope this helps!

Suppose you were given a substance and asked to determine weather or not it was a plasma. Write the characteristics you would lo
Sphinxa [80]

Electrical conductivity, electromagnetism, and temperature are the features that one would look for in order to determine plasma. Plasma refers to a hot ionized gas possessing high electrical conductivity. It is electrically neutral with negative and positive particles. It can be considered the most abundant form of matter in the universe.  

The features of plasma are substantially distinct from those of the usual neutral gases so that plasmas are regarded as a different fourth state of matter.
