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

son4ous [18]

Answer:

The length of each of the other two sides would be  3.1 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The options of the question are</em></u>

A. 3.1 cm

B. 3.2 cm

C. 4.2 cm

D. 6.1 cm

we know that

An isosceles triangle has two equal sides and two equal interior angles

Let

x -----> the length of each of the two equal sides in the isosceles triangle

The perimeter of one isosceles triangle is equal to

P=2x+2

Remember that

To maximize the use of the wire, the perimeter of 6 earrings (3 pairs of earrings) must be equal to 50 cm

so

6(2x+2)=50

Solve for x

12x+12=50

12x=50-12

12x=38

x=\frac{38}{12}=3.16\ cm

therefore

The length of each of the other two sides would be  3.1 cm

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Dr Carter

Step-by-step explanation:

I would want to visit Dr. Carter for an orthodontis appointment for multiple reasons. One, he can prove that he doesn’t do his work sloppily as his office is clean, and two, he can prove that his treatments work. since his teeth are now perfectly straight, that shows that his Braces really work, whereas Dr. Shuman’s treatments either don’t work or take a lot longer for results to appear.
