1) You need to use the atomic mass of copper.


You can find it in a periodic table. It is 63.546 amu.


2) The atomic mass is the weigthed mass of the different isotopes.


This is, the atomic mass of one element is the atomic mass of each isotope times its corresponding abundance:


=> atomic mass of the element = abundance isotope 1 * atomic mass isotope 1 + abundance isotope 2 *  atomic mass isotope 2 + ....+abundance isotope n * atomic mass isotope n.


3) The statement tells there are two isotopes so the abundance of one is x and the abundance of the other is 1 - x


=> 63.546 amu = x * 62.9296 amu + (1-x)*64.9278


=> 63.546 = 62.9296x + 64.9278 - 64.9278x


=> 64.9278x - 62.9296 = 64.9278 - 63.546


=> 1.9982x = 1.3818


=> x = 1.3818 / 1.9982 = 0.6915 = 69.15%


=> 1 - x = 1 - 0.6915 = 0.3085 = 30.85%


Answer:


Cu-63 69.15%;


Cu-65 : 30.85%

Which of the following is NOT a way that reducing biodiversity directly impacts humans?
Zepler [3.9K]

C. Fewer habitats for wild animals to live in

Explanation:

Biodiversity does not directly impact humans in that there are fewer habitats for wild animals to live in. This is a direct impact on animals and not humans.

Biodiversity is the variation of life forms in an area. It is measured by the ability of the ecosystem to sustain different life forms and keep their interaction with the environment.

It helps to maintain and sustain life.

To humans, reducing biodiversity;

  • reduces the potential of medicine derived from other organisms. When their habitat is lost, we lose them.
  • fewer ecosystems to appreciate for beauty and recreation. It leads to loss of the ecosystem.
  • fewer wild food species for humans to eat.

Loss of habitat directly affects wild animals and not man.

You know that 8.9 moles of solute particles are dissolved in that liquid solution. If the molarity of the solution is 25 M, how
pychu [463]

Answer:

V = 0.356 L

Explanation:

In this case, we need to use the following expression:

M = n/V (1)

Where:

M: molarity of solution (mol/L or M)

n: moles of solute (moles)

V: Volume of solution (Liters)

From these expression, we can solve for V:

V = n/M  (2)

Now, replacing the given data we can solve V:

V = 8.9 / 25

V = 0.356 L
