Answer : The average atomic mass of chlorine is, 32.37 amu

Explanation :

Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.

Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:

\text{Average atomic mass }=\sum_{i=1}^n\text{(Atomic mass of an isotopes)}_i\times \text{(Fractional abundance})_i

As we are given that,

Mass of isotope 1 = 34.97 amu

Percentage abundance of isotope 1 = 75.77 %

Fractional abundance of isotope 1 = 0.7577

Mass of isotope 2 = 36.97 amu

Percentage abundance of isotope 2 = 24.23 %

Fractional abundance of isotope 2 = 0.2423

Now put all the given values in above formula, we get:

\text{Average atomic mass of element}=\sum[(34.97\times 0.7577)+(24.23\times 0.2423)]

\text{Average atomic mass of element}=32.37amu

Therefore, the average atomic mass of chlorine is, 32.37 amu

The chemical equation is said to be balanced if the number of atoms in the reactants and products is the same

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Equation balanced ⇒ total number of atoms in reactants(on the left)= total number of atoms in products(on the right)

H₂+O₂---> H₂O

Reactants : H₂, O₂

Products : H₂O

not balanced

H₂O₂ ---> H₂O+O₂

Reactants : H₂O₂

Products : H₂O, O₂

not balanced

Na+O₂ ---> Na₂O

Reactants : Na, O₂

Products :  Na₂O

not balanced

N₂+H₂ ---> NH₃

Reactants : N₂, H₂

Products :  NH₃

not balanced

P₄+O₂---> P₄O₁₀

Reactants : P₄, O₂

Products :  P₄O₁₀

not balanced

Fe+H₂O ----> Fe₃O₄ + H₂

Reactants : Fe, H₂O

Products :  Fe₃O₄

not balanced

Answer:

22.5moles

Explanation:

using mole ratio,n(CO2)/n(o)=1/2

n(CO2)=1/2n(02)

n(CO2)=1/2×45

moles of carbon dioxide produced is 22.5moles

What is the potential energy of your 3 kg puppy that is sitting in the grass in your backyard?
lisov135 [29]

As we know that

P.E. = mgh

where,

P.E. = Potential energy of the object =?

m= mass of object= 3kg

g= acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 ms^-2

h = height between object and animal = 0 m

Then

P.E. = 3× 9.8 × 0 = 0 Joules or 0J
