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

The equation that could be used to solve for x is (3x-1) = 140 and the value of x is 47°.

According to the question,

We have the following information:

We have two lines that are intersecting each other at a point. The angles made on this point are given.

Now, we know that these two angles are vertically opposite angles. And we also know that vertically opposite angles are equal.

So, we will have the following equation:

3x-1 = 140

Now, we can easily find the value of x from this equation:

Adding 1 on both sides of the equation:

3x = 140+1

3x = 141

Dividing by 3 on both sides:

x = 141/3

x = 47°

Hence, the equation that could be used to solve for x is (3x-1) = 140 and the value of x is 47°.

RSB [31]

Answer:

z = 66

Step-by-step explanation:

QT is a midsegment. Thus, applying the midsegment theorem:

RS = 2(QT)

QT = z - 33,

RS = z

Plug in the values into the equation

z = 2(z - 33)

z = 2z - 66

Subtract 2z from each side

z - 2z = -66

-z = -66

Divide both sides by -1

z = 66
