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

a rectangle is 28 feet by 41 feet. If it can be determined, which of the following gives the whole number length, in feet, of a
rjkz [21]

Answer:

c = 20 ft  

Step-by-step explanation:

The largest square will be 14 sqrt(2) ft long


To figure out the side length of the square

use the pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 =c^2

we are limited by the shortest side of the rectangle

28 ft

each side of the triangle is 1/2 the length of the short side of the rectangle or 14 ft

a^2 + b^2 =c^2

14^2 + 14^2 = c^2  where c is the side of the square

196 + 196 = c^2

392 = c^2

take the square root of each side

sqrt(392) = sqrt(c^2)

c = 14sqrt(2)

c = 19.799ft

to the nearest whole number

c = 20 ft

This is just about substitution!! 9(5)-3(5), 3 • 5 = 15
9 • 5 = 45
so Now you have, 45 - 15 = 30

A regular hexagon rotates counterclockwise about its center. It turns through angles greater than 0° and less than or equal to 3
Bogdan [553]
Hey there Caleb!

To start of, the sentence was clear on that it said . . . 

\boxed{A \ regular \ hexagon \ rotates \ counterclockwise \ about \ its 
 \ center }

The statement listed above is the (key) point. We need to keep this in mind.

So, now that we know this.

We would use the mathematic (Ф)

So,sense we know that a (hexagon) had it's (6) shapes, we would do . . . 

Ф = 360° : 6 = 60°

Your correct answer to this question would be . . . 

\boxed{\boxed{60}}

Hope this helps.
