Magnesium (average atomic mass = 24.3050 amu) consists of three isotopes with masses 23.9850 amu, 24.9858 amu, and 25.9826 amu.

The abundance of the middle isotope is 10.00%. Estimate the abundances of the other isotopes.

Answer: The first isotope has a relative abundance of 79% and last isotope has a relative abundance of 11%

Explanation: Given that the average atomic mass(M) of magnesium

= 24.3050amu

Mass of first isotope (M1) = 23.9850amu

Mass of middle isotope (M2)=24.9858amu

Mass of last isotope(M3)= 25.9826amu

Total abundance = 1

Abundance of middle isotope = 0.10

Let abundance of first and last isotope be x and y respectively.

x+0.10+y =1

x = 0.90-y

M = M1 × % abundance of first isotope + M2 × % of middle isotope +M3 ×% of last isotope

24.03050= 23.985× x + 24.9858 ×0.10 + 25.9826×y

Substitute x= 0.90-y

Then

y = 0.11

Since y=0.11, then

x= 0.90-0.11

x=0.79

Therefore the relative abundance of the first isotope = 11% and the relative abundance of the last isotope = 79%

How do CFC’s illustrate that technical advances can be a “double-edged” sword?
hram777 [196]

Answer:

CFC’s illustrate that technical advances can be a “double-edged” sword as CFC's were made for the advantages but soon or later it came as a disadvantage for environment.

CFC's was discovered with many advantages such as they are stable, non-corrosive, and replacement of harmful ammonia used in refrigerators  and air conditioning systems. But soon it is also discovered that CFC's are destroying  the upper atmosphere layer called ozone, which is a very big disadvantage for us. CFCs are major contributor  to global warming after carbon dioxide.

Hence, it proves that CFC’s shows how technological advancement can be “double-edged” sword.

Hi!! please help :( lots of points !

Answer:

<u><em>Structure:</em></u>

<em>Differences-  </em>A polymer is a collection of a large number of molecules whereas a monomer is a single molecule.

A monomer is a single molecule, which has the ability to chemically bond with other monomers in a long chain. A polymer is a chain that is made when monomers bind with other monomers.

<em>Similarities-</em>  They are both molecules

<u><em>Properties:</em></u>

<em> Differences- </em>Monomers have polyfunctionality, which is the capacity to form chemical bonds to at least two other monomer molecules. Polymers are chemically unreactive, solids at room temperature, malleable, tough, and are electrical insulators.

<em>Similarities- </em>They both makeup larger forms of matter.

<u><em>Intermolecular Forces</em></u>

<em>Differences: </em>Polymers are held together by covalent bonds, hydrogen bonds, and dispersion bonds. Monomers are <u><em>only</em></u> held together by hydrogen bonds.

<em>Similarities: </em>They can both be bonded together by hydrogen bonds.
