Answer:

Average atomic mass of uranium= 237.98 amu.

Explanation:

Given data:

Abundance of U²³⁴ = 0.01%

Abundance of U²³⁵ = 0.17%

Abundance of U²³⁸ = 99.28%

Average atomic mass = ?

Solution:

Average atomic mass of uranium = (abundance of 1st isotope × its atomic mass) +(abundance of 2nd isotope × its atomic mass) +(abundance of 3rd isotope × its atomic mass) / 100

Average atomic mass of uranium= (234×0.01)+(235×0.71)+(238×99.28)/100

Average atomic mass of uranium=  2.34 + 166.85 + 23628.64 / 100

Average atomic mass of uranium= 23797.83 / 100

Average atomic mass of uranium= 237.98 amu.

How many atoms of hydrogen are present in 2.92 g of water?
Wittaler [7]
The molecular weight of water is <span>18.01528 g/mol.
So in 2.92 grams there are 2.92/</span>18.01528 = 0.1621 mol of particles.

1 mol contains 6,02214 × 10^<span>23 particles by definition.

So the nr of H2O molecules is </span>0.1621 * 6,02214 × 10^23 = 0,9761 × 10^23.

Every molecule has 2 H atoms, so you have to double that.

2* 0,9761 × 10^23 = 1.952 × 10^23.

The conductance of the electric current through the electrolytic solution increases with
katrin2010 [14]

The conductance of the electric current through the electrolytic solution increases with increase in concentration.

<h3>What is electrolysis?</h3>

The term electrolysis has to do with a situation in which liquids conduct electricity by the movement of ions.

The conductivity of the solution depends on the ions present in the solution. Thus, the conductance of the electric current through the electrolytic solution increases with increase in concentration.

When warm air is forced upward along a cold front what might happen?
mote1985 [20]

Answer: With the cold front, warm air is rapidly forced upward (like the shavings) in advance of the actual front (the “cutter”), creating towering cumulus clouds, some hard showers and quite possibly a few gusty thunderstorms followed by a push of cooler and drier air in its wake.

What is the difference between a Group/Family and a period on the Periodic Table?
drek231 [11]

Explanation:

The vertical columns on the periodic table are called groups or families because of their similar chemical behavior. All the members of a family of elements have the same number of valence electrons and similar chemical properties. The horizontal rows on the periodic table are called periods.

I am new to Chemistry. How would I figure the density of mercury if 205ml has a mass of 2790g
Sati [7]
Density=mass/volume. Put the mass (2790g) over the volume (205mL)

Density= 2790g/205mL
Your answer should be in g/mL.
Hope this helped! :)
