Calculate the atomic mass of gallium, symbol Ga. Gallium has two isotopes: Ga-69 and Ga-71. The relative abundance of Ga-69 is 6

0.12% and its atomic mass is 68.9257 amu. The relative abundance of Ga-71 is 39.88% and its atomic mass is 70.9249 amu

Answer:

The atomic mass of gallium (Ga) = <u>69.723 g/mol</u>

Explanation:

Given: Two isotopes of Gallium (Ga) are Gallium-69 (⁶⁹Ga) and Gallium-71 (⁷¹Ga)

<u>For ⁶⁹Ga: </u>

Relative abundance = 60.12% = 60.12 ÷ 100 = 0.6012; Atomic mass = 68.9257 g/mol

<u>For ⁷¹Ga:</u>

Relative abundance = 39.88% = 39.88 ÷ 100 = 0.3988; Atomic mass = 70.9249 g/mol

∴ The atomic mass of Ga = (Relative abundance of ⁶⁹Ga × Atomic mass of ⁶⁹Ga) + (Relative abundance of ⁷¹Ga × Atomic mass of ⁷¹Ga)

⇒ Atomic mass of Ga = (0.6012 × 68.9257 g/mol) + (0.3988 × 70.9249 g/mol) = <u>69.723 g/mol</u>

<u>Therefore, the atomic mass of gallium (Ga) = 69.723 g/mol</u>

CH4+O2—-CO2+H2O what is the best classification for the unbalanced equations reaction and why
yawa3891 [41]
I don’t know what you mean by classification exactly but it is a redox equation. The reactant side of carbon is losing hydrogen to form carbon dioxide. And oxygen is gaining hydrogen which gives you the water. Redox reactions are also known as combustion reactions.

The answer is:  " 1.75 * 10 ^(-10)  m " .
_________________________________________________________
Explanation: 
_________________________________________________________
This very question asked for "Question Number 3 (THREE) ONLY, which is fine!
_________________________________________________________
Given: " 0.000000000175 m " ;  write this in "scientific notation.
_________________________________________________________
Note:   After the "first zero and the decimal point" {Note: that first zero that PRECEDES the decimal point in merely a "placeholder" and does not count as a "digit" — for our purposes} —
                     There are NINE (9) zeros, followed by "175"
_______________________________________________________
To write in "scientific notation", we find the integer that is written, as well, as any "trailing zeros" (if there are any—and by "trailing zeros", this means any number consecutive zeros/and starting with "the consecutive zeros" only —whether forward (i.e., "zeros following"; or backward (i.e. "zeros preceding").

In our case we have "zeros preceding";  that is a decimal point with zeros PRECEDING an "integer expression"<span>
</span><span> (the "integer" is "175").</span>
______________________________________________________
We then take the "integer expression" (whatever it may be:  12, 5, 30000001 ; or could be a negative value,  etc.) ;  

→  In our case, the "integer expression" is:  "175" ;

and take the first digit (if the expression is negative, we take the negative value of that digit;  if there is only ONE digit (positive or negative), then that is the digit we take ;

And write a decimal point after that first digit (unless in some cases, there is only one digit);  and follow with the rest of the consecutive digits of that 'integer expression' ;

→ In our case:  "175" ; becomes:  " 1.75" .
__________________________________________________
Then we write:  "  * 10^ "
__________________________________________________
   {that is "[times]"; or "multiplied by" :    [10 raised exponentially to the power of  <u>     </u> ]._____________________________________________________
 And to find that power, we take the "rewritten integer value (i.e. "whole number value that as been rewritten to a single digit with a decimal point"); and count the [number of "trailing zeros";  if there are any; PLUS the number of decimal places one goes] ; and that number is the value to which "10" is raised.
{If there are none, we write:  " * 10⁰ " ;    since "any value, raised to the "zero power", equals "1" ; so " * 10⁰ " ; is like writing:  " * 1 " .

If there are "trailing zeros" AND/OR or  any number of decimal places,  to the "right" of this expression; the combined number of spaces to the right is: 
  { the numeric value (i.e. positive number) of the power to which "10" is raised }.

Likewise, if there are "trailing zeros" AND/OR or any number of decimal places, to the "LEFT" of this expression; the combined number of spaces to the LEFT is the value of the power which "10" is raised to; is that number—which is a negative value.

In our case:  we have:  0.000000000175 * 10^(-10) .

Note:  The original notation was:

             →  " 0.000000000175 m "

{that is:  "175" [with 9 (nine) zeros to the left].}.

We rewrite the "175" ("integer expression") as:

"1.75" .
____________________________________________________
So we have:
         →   " 0.000000000175 m " ;

Think of this value as:

        " 0. 0000000001{pseudo-decimal point}75   m ".

And count the number of decimal spaces "backward" from the
      "pseudo-decimal point" to the actual decimal; and you will see that there are "10" spaces (to the left).   
______________________________________________________
Also note:  We started with "9 (nine)" preceding "zeros" before the "1" ;  now we are considering the "1" as an "additional digit" ;
             →  "9 + 1 = 10" .
______________________________________________________
Since the decimals (and zeros) come BEFORE (precede) the "175" ; that is, to the "left" of the "175" ; the exponent to which the "10" is raised is:
 "NEGATIVE TEN" { "-10" } .

So we write this value as:  " 1.75 * 10^(-10)  m " .  

{NOTE:  Do not forget the units of measurement; which are "meters" —which can be abbreviateds as:  "m" .} . 
______________________________________________________
The answer is:  " 1.75 * 10^(-10)   m " .
