Answer:

71 Ga has a naturally abundance of 36%

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Gallium has 2 naturally occurring isotopes: this means the abundance of the 2 isotopes together is 100 %. The atomic weight of Ga is 69.72 amu. This is the average of all the isotopes.

Since the average mass of 69.72 is closer to the mass of 69 Ga, this means 69 Ga will be more present than 71 Ga

Percentage 69 Ga> Percentage 71 Ga

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate the abundance %

⇒Percentage of 71 Ga = X %

⇒Percentage of 69 Ga = 100 % - X %

The mass balance equation will be:

100*69.72 = x * 71 + (100 - x)*69

6972 = 71x + 6900 -69x

72 = 2x

x = 36 %

71 Ga has a naturally abundance of 36%

69 Ga has a naturally abundance of 64%

16. Explain why antifreeze is used in vehicle radiators. Use your knowledge of the properties of
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Antifreeze is whats used to keep your engine cool without freezing.

Explanation:

it keeps the engine from overheating.

It also prevents corrosion.

Here is a quote from google "Antifreeze works because the freezing and boiling points of liquids are “colligative” properties. This means they depend on the concentrations of “solutes,” or dissolved substances, in the solution. A pure solution freezes because the lower temperatures cause the molecules to slow down"

That quote is from "The Science Behind Antifreeze"

If you have any questions feel free to ask in the comments.

Why can water pass through sandstrone but not through shale
Valentin [98]
It really depends on the 'type' of rock it is. By this I mean whether it's impermeable or permeable. Impermeable rocks don't allow water through and permeable rocks do. It has to do with how 'porous' a rock is: how many openings it has and how spaced apart are its particles are. Sandstone is permeable and Shale impermeable.
