A generic element, G, is composed of two isotopes, 132G and 128G. 132G has a natural abundance of 90% and an isotopic mass of 13

1.90 amu, and 128G has a natural abundance of 10% and an isotopic mass of 127.90 amu. What is the average atomic mass of this element?

Answer: The average atomic mass of this element is 131.5 amu

Explanation:

Mass of isotope 1 = 131.90 amu

% abundance of isotope 1 = 90% = \frac{90}{100}=0.9

Mass of isotope 2 = 127.90 amu

% abundance of isotope 2 = 10% = \frac{10}{100}=0.1

Formula used for average atomic mass of an element :

\text{ Average atomic mass of an element}=\sum(\text{atomic mass of an isotopes}\times {{\text { fractional abundance}})

A=\sum[(131.90\times 0.9)+(127.90\times 0.1)]=131.5amu

The average atomic mass of this element is 131.5 amu

The answer is:  " 1.75 * 10 ^(-10)  m " .
_________________________________________________________
Explanation: 
_________________________________________________________
This very question asked for "Question Number 3 (THREE) ONLY, which is fine!
_________________________________________________________
Given: " 0.000000000175 m " ;  write this in "scientific notation.
_________________________________________________________
Note:   After the "first zero and the decimal point" {Note: that first zero that PRECEDES the decimal point in merely a "placeholder" and does not count as a "digit" — for our purposes} —
                     There are NINE (9) zeros, followed by "175"
_______________________________________________________
To write in "scientific notation", we find the integer that is written, as well, as any "trailing zeros" (if there are any—and by "trailing zeros", this means any number consecutive zeros/and starting with "the consecutive zeros" only —whether forward (i.e., "zeros following"; or backward (i.e. "zeros preceding").

In our case we have "zeros preceding";  that is a decimal point with zeros PRECEDING an "integer expression"<span>
</span><span> (the "integer" is "175").</span>
______________________________________________________
We then take the "integer expression" (whatever it may be:  12, 5, 30000001 ; or could be a negative value,  etc.) ;  

→  In our case, the "integer expression" is:  "175" ;

and take the first digit (if the expression is negative, we take the negative value of that digit;  if there is only ONE digit (positive or negative), then that is the digit we take ;

And write a decimal point after that first digit (unless in some cases, there is only one digit);  and follow with the rest of the consecutive digits of that 'integer expression' ;

→ In our case:  "175" ; becomes:  " 1.75" .
__________________________________________________
Then we write:  "  * 10^ "
__________________________________________________
   {that is "[times]"; or "multiplied by" :    [10 raised exponentially to the power of  <u>     </u> ]._____________________________________________________
 And to find that power, we take the "rewritten integer value (i.e. "whole number value that as been rewritten to a single digit with a decimal point"); and count the [number of "trailing zeros";  if there are any; PLUS the number of decimal places one goes] ; and that number is the value to which "10" is raised.
{If there are none, we write:  " * 10⁰ " ;    since "any value, raised to the "zero power", equals "1" ; so " * 10⁰ " ; is like writing:  " * 1 " .

If there are "trailing zeros" AND/OR or  any number of decimal places,  to the "right" of this expression; the combined number of spaces to the right is: 
  { the numeric value (i.e. positive number) of the power to which "10" is raised }.

Likewise, if there are "trailing zeros" AND/OR or any number of decimal places, to the "LEFT" of this expression; the combined number of spaces to the LEFT is the value of the power which "10" is raised to; is that number—which is a negative value.

In our case:  we have:  0.000000000175 * 10^(-10) .

Note:  The original notation was:

             →  " 0.000000000175 m "

{that is:  "175" [with 9 (nine) zeros to the left].}.

We rewrite the "175" ("integer expression") as:

"1.75" .
____________________________________________________
So we have:
         →   " 0.000000000175 m " ;

Think of this value as:

        " 0. 0000000001{pseudo-decimal point}75   m ".

And count the number of decimal spaces "backward" from the
      "pseudo-decimal point" to the actual decimal; and you will see that there are "10" spaces (to the left).   
______________________________________________________
Also note:  We started with "9 (nine)" preceding "zeros" before the "1" ;  now we are considering the "1" as an "additional digit" ;
             →  "9 + 1 = 10" .
______________________________________________________
Since the decimals (and zeros) come BEFORE (precede) the "175" ; that is, to the "left" of the "175" ; the exponent to which the "10" is raised is:
 "NEGATIVE TEN" { "-10" } .

So we write this value as:  " 1.75 * 10^(-10)  m " .  

{NOTE:  Do not forget the units of measurement; which are "meters" —which can be abbreviateds as:  "m" .} . 
______________________________________________________
The answer is:  " 1.75 * 10^(-10)   m " .

True

Explanation:

It is correct to say that the biosphere includes all of the fish that are in the ocean. Even though the ocean is part of the hydrosphere.

The biosphere includes all life form on earth wherever they may dwell from deep abyss to the high atmosphere.

The different spheres on earth are interacting with one another and they depend on each other.

Just like the earth systems, the spheres of the earth relates with each other. Even the ocean is contained in the geosphere.
