Nitrogen makes about 78% of the air we breathe. Nitrogen is extremely important in living things. <span>It forms the building blocks of proteins. We need proteins because they make up our skin and hair. Proteins also help us digest food. We get our nitrogen from plants, and plants get it from bacteria in the soil. Our atmosphere provides life with the nitrogen it needs.</span>

A hypothetical element, E, has two stable isotopes. One isotope has a natural abundance of 68.037% and has an atomic mass of 46.
I am Lyosha [343]
  • If the abundance of the first isotope is 68.037%, then the abundance of the second isotope is 100%-68.037%.

Substituting into the atomic mass formula,

47.574=(46.449)(0.68037)+x(1-0.68037)\\\\ 47.574=31.60250613+0.31963x\\\\15.97149387=0.31963x\\\\x \approx \boxed{49.969 \text{ u}}

Answer:

d . Sc2O5

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, when forming oxides from a metal and oxygen, for us to find out each element's subscript, we must exchange them as shown below, considering +5 for scandium:

Sc^{+5}_2O^{-2}_5

For that reason, the answer is d . Sc2O5

Best regards.

a book with a mass of 1 kg is dropped from a height of 3 m. what is the potential energy of the book when it reaches the floor?
mafiozo [28]
Well, first of all, the formula for finding potential energy is;
PE=mgh
  Where; m is the mass
               g is the gravitational force or acceleration due to gravity
                h is the height. 
   Anyway, according to the question, the mass is 1kg, the acceleration due to gravity has a constant value of 10ms² . And the height is 3m. Now you just have to use all these in the formula. So;
mgh= 1 x 10 x 3. That will be 30. And the unit of potential energy is Joule. So the answer is 30 joules. Hope i helped. Have a nice day.
