Answer: 20.2

Explanation:

Mass of isotope 1 = 20

% abundance of isotope 1 = 90.5% = \frac{90.5}{100}=0.905

Mass of isotope 2 = 22

% abundance of isotope 2 = 8.0% = \frac{8}{100}=0.08

Mass of isotope 3 = 23

% abundance of isotope 3 = 1.5% = \frac{1.5}{100}=0.015

Formula used for average atomic mass of an element :

\text{ Average atomic mass of an element}=\sum(\text{atomic mass of an isotopes}\times {{\text { fractional abundance}})

A=\sum[(20\times 0.905+(22\times 0.08)+(23\times 0.015]

A=20.2

Therefore, the average atomic mass of the element is 20.2.

if i add water to 100ml of a 0.15 m naoh solution until the final volume is 150 ml,what will the molarity of the diluted solutio
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

0.1 mol×L

Explanation:

Concentration= MOLES of SOLUTE / Volume of SOLUTION

So all we need to is to calculate the one quantity; Volume of SOLUTION has been specified to be 150 ml

So, MOLES of SOLUTE

x 100 x 10-L = ??mol; this was our starting solution.

And final CONCENTRATION=

0.15 . mol. 5 x 100 x 10-3L/

= 0.15 mol · L-1 150 x 10 3

=0.1 mol · L

A student placed 3.0 grams of Mg into some HCl in two different experiments. In each case, it reacted according to the following
lana [24]

Answer: -

A catalyst is a substance that speeds up the chemical reaction. In the first experiment it took 32 minutes for all the magnesium to react.

In the next it took 54 minutes for all the magnesium to react. So the reaction was slower the second time.

Thus a catalyst was not used.

Powdering up the Magnesium would mean increasing the surface area. More the surface area faster the reaction. Since the reaction is slowing down,

Magnesium was not powdered

If the temperature was decreased then kinetic energy would decrease of the reactant molecules and the reaction would slow down due to less number of collisions between reactant moleules.

So the temperature was decreased is a correct option.

1. How does the amount of energy in the batteries in a flashlight compare to the total amount of energy given off by the flashli
qaws [65]
1. The total energy in the batteries and the total energy given off by the flashlight through heat and light is equal. This is because of the "Law of the Conservation of Energy." Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only changed in form. This can also be backed with the first law of thermodynamics.

2. A rate of a chemical reaction can be increased by increasing the temperature, or introducing a catalyst.

3. a. The saliva acts as a catalysts in breaking down the cracker.

3. b. The energy is stored in the chemical bonds on the sugars in the cracker.

3. c. The energy is the cracker is released through the body's natural process in breaking down the cracker and the sugars.
