<u>Answer:</u> The average atomic mass of element Zinc is 65.40 amu.  

<u>Explanation:</u>

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)

  • <u>For _{30}^{64}\textrm{Zn} isotope:</u>

Mass of _{30}^{64}\textrm{Zn} isotope = 63.929 amu

Percentage abundance of _{30}^{64}\textrm{Zn} isotope = 48.63 %

Fractional abundance of _{30}^{64}\textrm{Zn} isotope = 0.4863

  • <u>For _{30}^{66}\textrm{Zn} isotope:</u>

Mass of _{30}^{66}\textrm{Zn} isotope = 65.926 amu

Percentage abundance of _{30}^{66}\textrm{Zn} isotope = 27.90 %

Fractional abundance of _{30}^{66}\textrm{Zn} isotope = 0.2790

  • <u>For _{30}^{67}\textrm{Zn} isotope:</u>

Mass of _{30}^{67}\textrm{Zn} isotope = 66.927 amu

Percentage abundance of _{30}^{67}\textrm{Zn} isotope = 4.10 %

Fractional abundance of _{30}^{67}\textrm{Zn} isotope = 0.0410

  • <u>For _{30}^{68}\textrm{Zn} isotope:</u>

Mass of _{30}^{68}\textrm{Zn} isotope = 67.925 amu

Percentage abundance of _{30}^{68}\textrm{Zn} isotope = 18.75 %

Fractional abundance of _{30}^{68}\textrm{Zn} isotope = 0.1875

  • <u>For _{30}^{70}\textrm{Zn} isotope:</u>

Mass of _{30}^{70}\textrm{Zn} isotope = 69.925 amu

Percentage abundance of _{30}^{70}\textrm{Zn} isotope = 0.62 %

Fractional abundance of _{30}^{70}\textrm{Zn} isotope = 0.0062

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Average atomic mass of Zinc}=[(63.929\times 0.4863)+(65.926\times 0.2790)+(66.927\times 0.0410)+(67.925\times 0.1875)+(69.925\times 0.0062)]

\text{Average atomic mass of Zinc}=65.40amu

Hence, the average atomic mass of element Zinc is 65.40 amu.

White gold is considered an alloy of nickel and gold.
Alloy is the term which refers to the combination of metals, in which a new type of a metal is created. When you mix gold and some other white metal (such as nickel, palladium, or manganese), you get an alloy known as white gold.

Dalton's Atomic Model
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

A theory of chemical combination, first stated by John Dalton in 1803. It involves the following postulates: (1) Elements consist of indivisible small particles (atoms). (2) All atoms of the same element are identical; different elements have different types of atom. (3) Atoms can neither be created nor destroyed. Based on all his observations, Dalton proposed his model of an atom. It is often referred to as the billiard ball model. He defined an atom to be a ball-like structure, as the concepts of atomic nucleus and electrons were unknown at the time.

John Dalton developed a crude method for measuring the masses of the elements in a compound. His law of multiple proportions states that when two elements form more than one compound, masses of one element that combine with a fixed mass of the other are in a ratio of small whole numbers.

Effectus [21]

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.
