Answer:

The percentage abundance of Eu isotopes are 52 %  and 48 % .

Explanation:

The formula for the calculation of the average atomic mass is:

Average\ atomic\ mass=(\frac {\%\ of\ the\ first\ isotope}{100}\times {Mass\ of\ the\ first\ isotope})+(\frac {\%\ of\ the\ second\ isotope}{100}\times {Mass\ of\ the\ second\ isotope})

Given that:

Since the element has only 2 isotopes, so the let the percentage of first be x and the second is 100 -x.

For first isotope,:

% = x %

Mass = 151.0 amu

For second isotope :

% = 100  - x  

Mass = 153.0 amu

Given, Average Mass = 151.96 amu

Thus,

151.96=\frac{x}{100}\times {151.0}+\frac{100-x}{100}\times {153.0}

Solving for x, we get that:

x = 52 %

<u>Thus percentage abundance of Eu isotopes are 52 %  and 48 % .</u>

I need help! Thanks!
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

C. As speed increases, kinetic energy increase exponentially

Explanation:

As you can see on the graph, the further right we move on the x-axis, the higher the values on the y-axis. This means that as one value increases, the other value also increases. The only answer choice that says this is C.

Hope this helps :)

How is the separation of dna like a zipper
Sedbober [7]

The two strands must be separated like the two sides of a zipper, by breaking the weak hydrogen bonds that link the paired bases.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • A double helix structure formed by two polypeptide chains is separated like the two sides of a zipper. A zipper is formed by breaking the weak hydrogen bonds that link the paired bases. During replication, an enzyme "Helicase" travels down the DNA and splits the chain and it forms 2 separate strands.
  • The two DNA strand which has the same sequence must be separated like the two sides of a zipper by breaking weak hydrogen bases. During base pair-rule, the strand are unzipped and each strands is copied.

The density of silver is 10.5 g/cm3. What is the mass (in kilograms) of a cube of silver that measures 0.94 m on each side?
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

8721.132 Kg.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Density (D) of silver = 10.5 g/cm³

Length (L) of silver = 0.94 m

Mass (m) of silver =.?

Next, we shall determine the volume of silver. This can be obtained as follow:

Volume = Length × Length × Length

Volume = L × L × L

Volume = L³

Length (L) of silver = 0.94 m

Volume (V) of silver =?

Volume (V) of silver = 0.94³

Volume (V) of silver = 0.830584 m³

Next, we shall convert 0.830584 m³ to cm³. This can be obtained as follow:

1 m³ = 1×10⁶ cm³

Therefore,

0.830584 m³ = 0.830584 m³ / 1 m³ × 1×10⁶ cm³

0.830584 m³ = 830584 cm³

Therefore, 0.830584 m³ is equivalent 830584 cm³.

Thus, the volume of the silver is 830584 cm³.

Next, we shall determine the mass of the silver. This can be obtained as follow:

Density (D) of silver = 10.5 g/cm³

Volume of the silver = 830584 cm³.

Mass of silver =.?

Density = mass /

10.5 = mass of silver /830584

Cross multiply

Mass of silver = 10.5 × 830584

Mass of silver = 8721132 g

Finally, we shall convert the mass of silver, 8721132 g to kilogram (kg). This can be obtained as follow:

1000 g = 1 Kg

Therefore,

8721132 g = 8721132 g / 1000 g × 1 Kg

8721132 g = 8721.132 Kg

Therefore, the mass of each cube of silver is 8721.132 Kg
