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.

freezing a sealed full bottl of water leads to a broken bottle and freezing a sealed full flexible wall container of n butyl alc
Nataly [62]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

We know that water begins to expand at 4°C. This is generally referred to as the anomalous behavior of water.

The implication of this is that ice has a greater volume than water. Thus ice is less dense than liquid water.

n-butyl alcohol has much less density than water. This accounts for the fact that water upon freezing breaks the bottle while n butyl alcholol leads to a container with concave walls.

Hence the density of ice is much higher than the density of n butyl alcohol.

An isotope contains 26 protons, 24 electrons, and 32 neutrons
Anestetic [448]
The correct option is 58 Fe 2+.
A neutral atom normally has the same number of proton, neutron and electrons, if the number of electrons differ from that of proton, that means that the elements has given some electrons away or it has gained some electrons from another element.
In the question given above, the atomic number of the element is 26 [because the proton number is 26], which means the element is iron. Iron has 24 electrons because it has given two away, so it will have +2. The iron has 32 neutrons instead of 26 so it is an isotope.

Lewis dot diagram for the Cs1+ ion
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Cs^+

Explanation:

Cesium Lewis dot structure would look like this:

·Cs,  because it only has one valence electron. But, since it has a plus, that means we lost an electron. So, we have to get rid of the dot and you have:

Cs^+

If you have a gold brick that is 2cm by 3cm by 4cm and has density of 19.3g/cm3, what is its mass?
natulia [17]
Volume = a x a x a  

V = 2 cm x 3 cm x 4 cm => 24 cm³

Density = 19.3 g/cm³

Mass = ?

Therefore:

m = D x V

m = 19.3 x 24

m = 463.2 g

What is the pH of a 2.10 x 10⁻⁶ M solution of HCl?<br>​
Delvig [45]

Answer:

pH = 5.7

Explanation:

pH = -log[H^+]  

For HCl pH = -log[HCl] = - log [2.10 x 10⁻⁶ ] = 5.7
