Answer:

Number 7 plastics are used to make baby bottles, sippy cups, water cooler bottles and car parts. A 1 inside the triangle indicates the plastic is polyethylene terephthalate, which is shortened to PET or PETE

Explanation:

To summarize, plastics in categories #2, #4 and #5 are generally considered safe. Plastics #1, #3, #6 and #7 should be used with varying to extreme caution, especially around food or drink.

And, as there are seven categories of plastics, a number from one to seven is set inside the triangle to tell you which kind of plastic you've got.

The element iridium exists in nature as two isotopes: 191Ir has a mass of 190.9606 u, and 193Ir has a mass of 192.9629 u. The av

Answer: The percentage abundance of $_{77}^{191}\textrm{Ir}$ and $_{77}^{193}\textrm{Ir}$ isotopes are 37.10% and 62.90% respectively.

Explanation:

Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.

Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:

$\text{Average atomic mass }=\sum_{i=1}^n\text{(Atomic mass of an isotopes)}_i\times \text{(Fractional abundance})_i$ .....(1)

Let the fractional abundance of $_{77}^{191}\textrm{Ir}$ isotope be 'x'. So, fractional abundance of $_{77}^{193}\textrm{Ir}$ isotope will be '1 - x'

For $_{77}^{191}\textrm{Ir}$ isotope:

Mass of $_{77}^{191}\textrm{Ir}$ isotope = 190.9606 amu

Fractional abundance of $_{77}^{191}\textrm{Ir}$ isotope = x

For $_{77}^{193}\textrm{Ir}$ isotope:

Mass of $_{77}^{193}\textrm{Ir}$ isotope = 192.9629 amu

Fractional abundance of $_{77}^{193}\textrm{Ir}$ isotope = 1 - x

Average atomic mass of iridium = 192.22 amu

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$192.22=[(190.9606\times x)+(192.9629\times (1-x))]\\\\x=0.3710$

Percentage abundance of $_{77}^{191}\textrm{Ir}$ isotope = $0.3710\times 100=37.10\%$

Percentage abundance of $_{77}^{193}\textrm{Ir}$ isotope = $(1-0.3710)=0.6290\times 100=62.90\%$

Hence, the percentage abundance of $_{77}^{191}\textrm{Ir}$ and $_{77}^{193}\textrm{Ir}$ isotopes are 37.10% and 62.90% respectively.

When particles are added pressure will do what and why

ElenaW [278]

Because area of the container has increased , there will be fewer of collisions per unit area and the pressure will decrease . Volume is inversely proportional to pressure , if the number of particles and temperature is constant
( V = 1/P) and number of particle is proportional to pressure if average Kinetic energy of the particle remain same , the average force particle will remain same too so at some places and there will be more collision and there is greater pressure
