Answer :  The percent abundance of Li isotope-1 and Li isotope-2 is, 6.94 % and 93.1 % respectively.

Explanation :

Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.

Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:

\text{Average atomic mass }=\sum_{i=1}^n\text{(Atomic mass of an isotopes)}_i\times \text{(Fractional abundance})_i   .....(1)

Let the fractional abundance of Li isotope-1 be 'x' and the fractional abundance of Li isotope-2 will be '100-x'

For Li isotope-1 :

Mass of Li isotope-1 = 6.01512 amu

Fractional abundance of Li isotope-1 = x

For Li isotope-2 :

Mass of Li isotope-2 = 7.01600 amu

Fractional abundance of Li isotope-2 = 100-x

Average atomic mass of Li = 6.941 amu

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

6.941=[(6.01512\times x)+(7.01600\times (100-x))]

By solving the term 'x', we get:

x=694.048

Percent abundance of Li isotope-1 = \frac{694.048}{100}=6.94\%

Percent abundance of Li isotope-2 = 100 - x = 100-6.94 = 93.1 %

A bottle of coke is 250.0 mL. What is the volume in cubic centimeters?
hoa [83]

Answer:

The volume in cubic centimeters is 250

Explanation:

The rule of three or is a way of solving problems of proportionality between three known values and an unknown value, establishing a relationship of proportionality between all of them.

If the relationship between the magnitudes is direct, that is, when one magnitude increases, so does the other (or when one magnitude decreases, so does the other), the direct rule of three must be applied. To solve a direct rule of three, the following formula must be followed:

a ⇒ b

c ⇒ x

So:

x=\frac{c*b}{a}

The direct rule of three is the rule applied in this case where there is a change of units. To perform this conversion of units, you must first know that 1 mL = 1 cubic centimeters. So, if 1 cubic centimeters is 1 mL, how many cubic centimeters equals 250 mL?

cubic centimeters=\frac{250 mL*1 cubic centimeters }{1 mL}

cubic centimeters= 250

<u><em>The volume in cubic centimeters is 250</em></u>
