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.

What is the mass, in pounds, of 389 mL of a gas that has a density of 1.29 g/L?
devlian [24]

Answer: Mass of gas is 0.001 pounds.

Explanation:

Density is defined as the mass contained per unit volume.

Density=\frac{mass}{Volume}

Given : Mass of gas = ?

Density of gas = 1.29g/L

Volume of gas = 389 ml = 0.389 L     (1L=1000ml)

Putting in the values we get:

1.29g/L=\frac{mass}{0.389L}

mass=0.5grams  

mass=0.5\times 0.002lb=0.001lb       (1g =0.002 lb)

Thus the mass of gas is 0.001 pounds.

Without using Appendix B, predict the sign of ΔS° for(b) KBr(s)→ KBr(aq)
Volgvan

Since the sign is positive, the entropy increased by 88.48 J/K.

Examine the phases of the species present to determine whether a physical or chemical process will cause an increase or decrease in entropy. Keep in mind "Silly Little Goats" to aid you in telling.

[1 Sf K+1 + 1 Sf Br-1 (aq)] ([1Sf(KBr (s))])

[1(102.5) + 1(82.42)] - [1(96.44)] = 88.48 J/K

If the entropy has grown, we say that Delta S is positive, and if it has dropped, we say that Delta S is negative. Due to its ionic nature, KBr is soluble in water and causes the 'K(+)' ions to hydrate.

A sample of wine consists of water, sugar, some amount of ethyl alcohol, and grape juice. These ingredients blend together unifo
NeTakaya

Answer: The sample of wine could be described as numbers 1, 3 & 4

Explanation:

It is a mixture because it is the physical combination of two or more substances

It is a homogeneous mixture because any solid, liquid, or gaseous mixture that has the same proportions of its components throughout any given sample is regarded as a homogeneous mixture

It is a solution because it is a special type of homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances
