You have to figure out a way to write the two unknown abundances in terms of one variable.

The total abundance is 1 (or 100%). So if you say the abundance for the first one is X then the abundance for the second one has to be 1-X (where X is the decimal of the percentage so say 0.8 for 80%).

203(X) + 205(1-X) = 204.4

Then you just solve for X to get the percentage for TI-203.
And then solve for 1-X to get the percentage for TI-205.

After that the higher percentage would be the most abundant.

203x + 205 - 205x = 204.4
-2x + 205 = 204.4
-2x = -0.6

x = 0.3
1-x = 0.7

Then the TI-205 would have the highest percentage and would be the most abundant.

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Positive

Explanation:

The antibody screen interpretation is positive. That's because of clump formation when antibody reacts with the antigen and agglutination occurs.

It means that the antibodies were present in the sample that react with the antigen present in the test tube.

What is the limiting reactant for the following balanced equation when 9 moles of AlF3 are mixed with 12 miles of O2?
tamaranim1 [39]
<h2>Answer:AlF_{3} </h2>

Explanation:

The chemical equation of the reaction that occurs when AlF_{3} reacts with O_{2} is

4AlF_{3}+3O_{2}→2Al_{2}O_{3}+6F_{2}

4 moles of AlF_{3} requires 3 moles of O_{2}.

1 mole of AlF_{3} requires \frac{3}{4} moles of O_{2}.

Given that we have 9 moles of AlF_{3}.

9 moles of AlF_{3} requires \frac{3}{4}\times 9=6.75 moles of O_{2}.

But we have 12 moles of O_{2}.

So,AlF_{3}  will be consumed first.

So,AlF_{3}  is the limiting reagent.

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST! Explain how a pure metal is held together. Include a definition of a metallic bond in your explanation. Pl
vazorg [7]

Explanation:

A chemical bond which is formed in between positively charged atoms when there is sharing of free electrons in a lattice of cations is known as a metallic bond.

In a pure metal, atoms are surrounded by free moving valence electrons which move from one part of metal to another.

Thus, we can conclude that pure metals are held together by metallic bonds due to attraction between mobile valence electrons and positively charged metal ions.
