<span> First you need to know how many isotopes there are of silicon, and its average atomic units (look at periodic table). Then make up a system of equations to solve for it. Theres 3 stable silicon isotopes (28, 29, 30) so you will need to have 3 equations. You must be given the percent abundance of at least one of the isotopes to solve because here I can only see 2 equations (numbered down below) set x = percent abundance of si-28 y = percent abundance of si-29 z = percent abundance of si-30 since all of silicon atoms account for 100% of all silicon: x + y + z = 100% = 1 therefore: 1) x = 1 - y - z You also have 2) 28x + 29y + 30z = average atomic mass you can substitute x so that equation becomes: 28 (1 - y - z) + 29y + 30z = average atomic mass See how you have 2 variables here? You cant go on until you know the value of one isotope already or you have given a clue which you can derive the third equation</span>

when acceleration is held constant and objects of different mass are observed,are mass and force directly proportional or invers
svetoff [14.1K]
Yes. When two things are directly prortional, that means that as one increases, the other increases at the same rate. So, say you have a 2kg object at an acceleration of 2m/s^2. The force would be 4N. If you have a 3kg object at an acceleration of 2m/s^2, the force would be 6N. If two things are inversely proportional, that means that as one thing increases the other decreases at the same rate. A good example of this is in a chemical reaction. If you increase the surface area of the reactants, the reaction time decreases. They are inversely proportional.

Which phrase describes the molarity of a solution?
Elan Coil [88]
The answer is (3) moles of solute per liter of solution. That is what the definition of molarity of a solution means. The equation is concentration = mol number of solute/ volume of solution.

28. What is the heat of reaction for the forward reaction?
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

Check Explanation

Explanation:

The Heat of reaction for the forward reaction is defined as the amount of heat given off or absorbed while the forward reaction is taking place. Mathematically, the heat of reaction for the forward reaction is given as the heat content/heat of formation/Enthalpies of the reaction's products minus the heat content/heat of formation/Enthalpies of the reaction's reactants.

ΔH°run = H°(products) - H°(reactants)

When the heat of reaction is negative, the reaction is said to be exothermic and when it is positive, the reaction is said to be endothermic.

Hope this Helps!!!
