To cause death within hours of exposure to radiation, the dose needs to be very high, 10Gy or higher, while 4-5Gy will kill within 60 days, and less than 1.5-2Gy will not be lethal in the short term. However all doses, no matter how small, carry a finite risk of cancer and other diseases. Patients exposed to radiation between 8 to 30 Gy experience nausea and severe diarrhea within an hour, and they die between 2 days and 2 weeks after exposure. Absorbed doses greater than 30 Gy cause neurological damage

What is the average atomic mass of all of the naturally occurring isotopes of nickel in amu?
My name is Ann [436]
In general chemistry, isotopes are substances that belong to one specific element. So, they all have the same atomic numbers. But they only differ in the mass numbers, or the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. In a nutshell, they only differ in the number of neutrons.

For Nickel, there are 5 naturally occurring isotopes. Their identities, masses and relative abundance are listed below

  Isotope                Abundance           Atomic Mass
   Ni-58                    68.0769%              <span>57.9353 amu
   Ni-60                    </span>26.2231%              <span>59.9308 amu
   Ni-61                    </span>1.1399 %               <span>60.9311 amu
   Ni-62                    </span>3.6345%                <span>61.9283 amu
   Ni-64                    </span>0.9256%                <span>63.9280 amu

To determine the average atomic mass of Nickel, the equation would be:
Average atomic mass = </span>∑Abundance×Atomic Mass

Using the equation, the answer would be:
Average atomic mass = 57.9353(68.0769%) + 59.9308(26.2231%) + 60.9311(1.1399%) + 61.9283(3.6345%) + 63.9280(0.9256%)

Average atomic mass = 58.6933 amu

Answer:

The controlled variable of an experiment is the one thing that stays the same in an experiment.

Explanation:

An example would be : if I have two pennies, both dunked in water, but than I change one to be dunked in vinegar, the one dunked in water still is the constant or the controlled variable.
