Answer:

220.42098 amu

Explanation:

(220 .9 X  .7422) + (220 X .0.1278) + (218.1 X 0.13) =     220.42098 amu

These are weighted averages.

So, we will take mass of one and multiply by abundance percentage that is provided and add them together.

In order to calculate the  average atomic mass, we have to convert the percentages of abundance to decimals. So, you get

(220 .9 X  .7422) + (220 X .0.1278) + (218.1 X 0.13) =     220.42098 amu

How do chemical and nuclear reactions differ in(c) Effect on rate of higher reactant concentration?
DochEvi [55]

Nuclear reactions involve a change in an atom's nucleus, usually producing a different element. Chemical reactions, on the other hand, involve only a rearrangement of electrons and do not involve changes in the nuclei.

<h3>What affects the rate of nuclear reactions?</h3>

Reactant concentration, the physical state of the reactants, and surface area, temperature, and the presence of a catalyst are the four main factors that affect reaction rate.

<h3>What is the main difference between chemical reactions and nuclear reactions?</h3>

Chemical reaction normally occurs outside the nucleus. Nuclear reaction happens only inside the nucleus. When chemical reactions occur elements hold their identity and the nuclei of atoms also remains unchanged. During nuclear reactions, the nuclei of atoms changes completely and new elements are formed.

Why does magnesium nitrate not react with Magnesium sulfate?
Svetllana [295]
Magnesium nitrate o not react with magnesium sulfate because it cannot displace the ions involved. The cations are the same so they just cancel the charges. If you look at it, even of a reaction occurs the product will still be the same substances.
