Answer:

Wt Avg Atomic Wt = 28.0577 amu

Explanation:

Atomic Mass = ∑Wt Avg contributions of isotopes of an element

Si-28 => 92.21% => 0.9221 decimal fraction => Wt Avg Si-28 = 0.9221(27.9769) = 25.7695 amu

Si-29 => 4.69% => 0.0469 decimal fraction => Wt Avg Si-29 = 0.0469(28.9765) = 1.3590 amu

Si-30 => 3.10% => 0.0310 decimal fraction => Wt Avg Si-30 = 0.0310(29.9737) = 0.9292

Wt Avg Atomic Wt = ∑Wt Avg Contributions = (25.7695 + 1.3590 + 0.9292)amu = 28.0577 amu

Answer :  The average atomic mass of silicon is, 28.08 amu

Explanation :

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

For isotope Si-28 :

Mass of isotope Si-28  = 27.9769 amu

Fractional abundance of isotope Si-28  = 92.21 % = 0.9221

For isotope Si-29 :

Mass of isotope Si-29 = 28.9765 amu

Fractional abundance of isotope Si-29 = 4.69 % = 0.0469

For isotope Si-30 :

Mass of isotope Si-30 = 29.9737 amu

Fractional abundance of isotope Si-30 = 3.10 % = 0.0310

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Average atomic mass }=[(27.9769\times 0.9221)+(28.9765\times 0.0469)+(29.9737\times 0.0310)]

\text{Average atomic mass }=28.08amu

Thus, the average atomic mass of silicon is, 28.08 amu

The reaction uses B) 9.0 g Br₂.

 iron + bromine ⟶ product

2.0 g +     <em>x</em> g     ⟶   11.0 g

According to the <em>Law of Conservation of Mass</em>, the total mass of the reactants must equal the total mass of the products.

∴2.0 + <em>x</em> = 11.0

<em>x</em> = 11.0 – 2.0 = 9.0

The reaction uses 9.0 g Br₂.

Is decay pool or flux
mash [69]

Answer:

A single carbon pool can often have several fluxes both adding and removing carbon simultaneously. For example, the atmosphere has inflows from decomposition (CO2 released by the breakdown of organic matter), forest fires and fossil fuel combustion and outflows from plant growth and uptake by the oceans.

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

Atoms have protons and neutrons in the center, making the nucleus, while the electrons orbit the nucleus. The modern atomic theory states that atoms of one element are the same, while atoms of different elements are different.Atoms consist of three basic particles: protons, electrons, and neutrons. The nucleus (center) of the atom contains the protons (positively charged) and the neutrons (no charge). The outermost regions of the atom are called electron shells and contain the electrons (negatively charged).

The volume of a given mass of agas is 360cm cubic at 50 degrees and 700 milimetres Hg .find it's volume at s.t.p​
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

V₂  =279.9 cm³

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume = 360 cm³

Initial temperature = 50°C

Initial pressure = 700 mmHg

Final volume = ?

Final temperature = 273 k

Final pressure = 1 atm

Solution:

According to general gas equation:

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

Solution:

<em>We will convert the mmHg to atm.</em>

700/760 = 0.92 atm

<em>and °C to kelvin.</em>

50+273 = 323 K

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

V₂ = P₁V₁ T₂/ T₁ P₂

V₂ = 0.92 atm × 360 cm³ × 273 K / 323 K ×1 atm

V₂  =  290417.6 atm .cm³.  K  / 323 k. atm

V₂  =279.9 cm³
