Answer:

The answer to your question is Isotope

Explanation:

Isotopes are atoms with the same number of protons and electrons but their atomic mass is different due to their number of neutrons is different.

In this kind of elements, the number of protons stays the same.

Some isotopes are radioactive but others do not.

Some isotopes are used to know the age of fossils or ancient things.

Which of the following changes to a pipe would increase the conductance by a factor of 12?
ivanzaharov [21]

C. Tripling the length and reducing the radius by a factor of 2 is the change to a pipe would increase the conductance by a factor of 12.

<u>Explanation:</u>

As we know that the resistance is directly proportional to the length of the pipe and it is inversely proportional to the cross sectional area of the pipe.

So it is represented as,

R∝ l /A [ area is radius square]

So k is the proportionality constant used.

R = kl/A

Conductance is the inverse of resistance, so it is given as,

C= 1/R.

R₁ = kl₁ / A₁

R₂ = kl₂/A₂

R₂/R₁ = 1/12 [∵ conductance is the inverse of resistance]

        = l₂A₁ / l₁A₂

If we chose l₁/l₂= 3 and A₂/A₁= 4 So R₂/R₁= 1/3×4 = 1/12

So tripling the length and reducing the radius by a factor of 2 would increase the conductance by a factor of 12.

The atomic weight of Ga is 69.72 amu. There are only two naturally occurring isotopes of gallium:
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

71 Ga has a naturally abundance of 36%

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Gallium has 2 naturally occurring isotopes: this means the abundance of the 2 isotopes together is 100 %. The atomic weight of Ga is 69.72 amu. This is the average of all the isotopes.

Since the average mass of 69.72 is closer to the mass of 69 Ga, this means 69 Ga will be more present than 71 Ga

Percentage 69 Ga> Percentage 71 Ga

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate the abundance %

⇒Percentage of 71 Ga = X %

⇒Percentage of 69 Ga = 100 % - X %

The mass balance equation will be:

100*69.72 = x * 71 + (100 - x)*69

6972 = 71x + 6900 -69x

72 = 2x

x = 36 %

71 Ga has a naturally abundance of 36%

69 Ga has a naturally abundance of 64%

Which of these best describes the relationship between the inner core, outer core, mantle, crust, asthenosphere, and lithosphere
torisob [31]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Which of these best describes the relationship between the inner core, outer core, mantle, crust, asthenosphere, and lithosphere?

A: The coolest layers are farthest from the core.

B: The least dense layers are closest to the core.

C: The layers with the highest concentration of metals are closest to the crust.

D: The layers that remain in a molten state are closest to the crust.

Answer:

The coolest layers are farthest from the core.

Explanation:

When we talk about the internal structure of Earth, we mean the subdivisions of the solid Earth, that is, the concentric spherical layers that marks out the structure of the solid Earth.

The inner core is the innermost part of the earth's core and is known to have extremely high temperature. This high temperature steadily decreases as you approach the earth's surface.

Hence, the coolest layers are farthest from the core.
