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%

Answer:

746 moles of H2O are been produced from 373 moles of Al.

Explanation:

For every 3 moles of aluminum, you get 6 moles of H2O (double). Therefore, every 373 moles of Al, you will get double as well, that is 746 m.

Why is Dalton credited with proposing the first atomic theory if Democritus was talking about atoms almost 2,200 years earlier?
german
Democritus *suggested* the existence of the atom, that everything was made up of tiny particles, but wasn't really able to get more specific than that. Dalton also theorized that everything was made up of indivisible particles, but went further basing his theory on actual scientific principles, such as the Law of Conservation of Mass and the Law of Constant Composition. He also said that atoms weren't created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, just rearranged.  There's more to it than that, but basically, Dalton's theory was based more on science while Democritus' theory was too general to be useful in chemical situations.

Consider a balloon of nitrogen gas and a crystal of sugar sitting on a table at room conditions. Select the appropriate statemen
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

about the same

Explanation:

Thermal energy is constant at a certain temperature in general. The energy is denoted by K_BT

Where,

K_B is the Boltzmann constant

T is the absolute temperature

Given that the balloon filled with nitrogen gas and the crystal of sugar are at room conditions means that they have same conditions and thus they will possess same energy irrespective of the states of the matter.

Thus,

The thermal energy of the sugar molecules is <u>about the same</u> as that of nitrogen molecules.

Do organs of different species resemble each other?
spin [16.1K]
<span>This really depends on how closely related the species are. Species from vastly unrelated taxonomic groups are likely to have organs that differ substantially. Think for example of the compound eye of a spider and the eye of a human, or the bones of a fish compared to the cartilage of a shark. These are examples of species that are not closely related at all. Then think of a chimpanzee and a human. The organs of both species are very similar in form and function as they are closely related. </span>
