The element europium (EU) exists in nature as two isotopes: (151 EU)with a mass of 150.9196 amu & (153 EU) with a mass of 15

2.9209 amu. The average mass of EU is 151.96 How do you calculate the relative abundance of the two EU isotopes? X% times 150.9196 (plus) Y% times 152.9209 equals = 151.96. what are the X and Y percentages? And what is the formula to identify the unknowns X and Y?

Answer:

X = 48.014%

Y = 51.986%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

151 EU has a mass of 150.9196 amu

153 EU has a mass of 152.9209 amu

Calculating the relative abundance of the two EU isotopes.

First condition that must be satisfied is

X + Y = 100%;

X + Y = 1. ----- Equation 1

Second Condition is;

150.9196X + 152.9209Y = 151.96 ------ Equation 2

In Equation 1; make Y the subject of formula.

So, Y = 1 - X.

Substitute (1 - X) for Y in Equation 2

150.9196X + 152.9209(1 - X) = 151.96 ----Open bracket

150.9196X + 152.9209 - 152.9209X = 151.96 ---- Collect Like Terms

150.9196X - 152.9209X = 151.96 - 152.9209

−2.0013X = -0.9609

X = -0.9609/-2.0013

X = 0.480137910358267

X = 48.014% ----- Approximated

Y = 1 - X

Y = 1 - 48.014%

Y = 0.51986

Y = 51.986% ---- Approximated

11. Write the equation in slope intercept form that has a slope of -23 and passes through the point (-1, 2).
insens350 [35]
11. y = -23x - 21

You can get this by starting with y = mx + b (slope intercept form). Then put in all the knowns and solve for the b. 

2 = -23(-1) + b
2 = 23 + b
-21 = b

Then add that to the end of the equation with m = -23

12. -5

The y-intercept of an equation is always the number added on at the end of an equation. It is also the number with no x attached to it. 

13. 8x^9y^6

When you use the law of exponents, you need to make sure the exponent goes to each individual term. When we cube the 2, it becomes 8. When you cube x^3, you get x^3*x^3*x^3 or x^9. And with y^2 you get y^6

Frank solved an equation and got the result x=x Sarah solved the same equation and got 12=12 Frank says that one at one of them
babymother [125]
You can get the different results for the same equation if one of the results is a variable. This is because, in this problem, x=12.

What is the value of expression below when c = 5 and d=4 6c²-5d + 8
Alisiya [41]

Answer:138

Step-by-step explanation:

First plug in the c and d values into the expression:

6(5)^2-5(4)+8

Remember PEMDAS, so you do 5^2 first getting you 25.

6(25)-5(4)+8

Continue with PEMDAS and multiply -5 and 4, and that gets you -20.

150-20+8

Now you simplify the expression to get: 138.
