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.

Determine the oxidation number for nitrogenin
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

1(a) N = 3

(b) N = 0

(c) N = 5

(d) N = -2

(2) Molecular formula for benzene is C6H6

Explanation:

1(a) N02 1-

N + (2×-2) = -1

N-4 = -1

N = -1+4 = 3

(b) N2

2(N) = 0

N = 0/2 = 0

(c) NO2Cl

N + ( 2×-2) + (-1) = 0

N - 4 - 1 = 0

N - 5 = 0

N = 0+5 = 5

(d) N2H4

2(N) + (4×1) = 0

2N + 4 = 0

2N = 0 - 4 = -4

N = -4/2 = -2

(2) Molcular mass of benzene = 78g/mole = (6×12g of carbon) + (6×1g of hydrogen) = 72+6 = 78g/mole

Therefore, molecular formula for benzene is C6H6

Compare and contrast an earthquake and a tsunami. Include one way they are similar and two ways they are different.
Anon25 [30]
One way they are similar is because an earthquake causes a tsunami so they are connected. two ways they are not is because ones dealing with water and ones dealing with land, and an earthquake is very sudden while a tsunami, you know its coming and you have time to move.
