The atomic number in an element is usually how many protons the element has. For example, Hydrogen has a 1 on top of the H (on the periodic table), therefore, Hydrogen has 1 proton. Oxygen has an 8 on top of the O (on the periodic table) so therefore, Oxygen has 8 protons.
One difference is that some animals are polyp and some are medusa.
The other difference is that some animals have medusa in their life or polp in their life cycle.
Hope these two differences helps :D
Answer:
- The abundance of 107Ag is 51.5%.
- The abundance of 109Ag is 48.5%.
Explanation:
The <em>average atomic mass</em> of silver can be expressed as:
107.87 = 106.90 * A1 + 108.90 * A2
Where A1 is the abundance of 107Ag and A2 of 109Ag.
Assuming those two isotopes are the only one stables, we can use the equation:
A1 + A2 = 1.0
So now we have a system of two equations with two unknowns, and what's left is algebra.
First we<u> use the second equation to express A1 in terms of A2</u>:
A1 = 1.0 - A2
We <u>replace A1 in the first equation</u>:
107.87 = 106.90 * A1 + 108.90 * A2
107.87 = 106.90 * (1.0-A2) + 108.90 * A2
107.87 = 106.90 - 106.90*A2 + 108.90*A2
107.87 = 106.90 + 2*A2
2*A2 = 0.97
A2 = 0.485
So the abundance of 109Ag is (0.485*100%) 48.5%.
We <u>use the value of A2 to calculate A1 in the second equation</u>:
A1 + A2 = 1.0
A1 + 0.485 = 1.0
A1 = 0.515
So the abundance of 107Ag is 51.5%.
