Answer:

The atomic weight of X is 28.356 amu

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

X-28 has an isotopic mass of 27.979 u and an baundance of 77.11%

X-29 has an isotopic mass of 28.976 u and an baundance of 8.00 %

X-30 has an isotopic mass of 29.974 u and an baundance of 14.89 %

Step 2:  Calculate the atomic weight of X.

Atomic weight of X = 27.979 * 0.7711 + 0.28.976 * 0.08 + 29.974 *0.1489

Atomic weight of X = 28.356 amu

The atomic weight of X is 28.356 amu

It has been suggested that the surface melting of ice plays a role in enabling speed skaters to achieve peak performance. Carry
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

a) Pf = 689.4 bar

b) P = 226.6 bar

c) T = 269.99 K

Explanation:

a)

The molar volume of ice is equal to:

Vi = m/p = (18.02x10^-3 kg H2O/1 mol H2O)*(1 m^3/920 kg) = 1.96x10^-5 m^3 mol^-1

The molar volume of liquid water is equal to:

Vl = (18.02x10^-3 kg/1 mol)*(1 m^3/997 kg) = 1.8x10^-5 m^3 mol^-1

The change in volume is equal to:

ΔVchange = Vi-Vl = 1.96x10^-5 - 1.8x10^-5 = 1.5x10^-6 m^3 mol^-1

using the Clapeyron equation:

Pf = Pi + ((ΔHf*ΔT)/(ΔVf*Ti)) = 1.013x10^5 Pa + ((6010 J mol^-1 * 4.7 K)/(1.5x10^-6 * 273.15 K)) = 6.89x10^7 Pa = 689.4 bar

b)

For the pressure we will use the equation:

P = (m*g)/A, where m is the mass, g is the acceleration of gravity and A is the area. Replacing values:

P = (79 kg * 9.81 m s^-2)/(1.9x10^-4 m * 0.18 m) = 2.26x10^7 Pa = 226.6 bar

c)

From Clapeyron´s expression we need to clear ΔT:

ΔT = ((Pf-Pi)*ΔV*Ti)/ΔHf = ((2.26x10^7 - 6.89x10^7)*1.5x10^-6*273.15)/6010 = -3.16 K

you can evaluate the new melting point of ice:

T = Ti + ΔT = 273.15 K - 3.16 K = 269.99 K

A substance has a volume of 10.0 cm3 and a mass of 89 grams. What is its density?
AlladinOne [14]
8.9 g/cm3 since density equals mass/volume or m/v you just divide 89 by 10 to get 8.9

Which model demonstrates a correct pathway carbon takes in the carbon cycle?
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

C) atmosphere → plants → animals → soil

Explanation:

The third choice provides the correct path through which carbon is cycled in nature.

Carbon passes from the atmosphere to plants then to animals and finally to the soil.

  • Plants uses carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to manufacture their food.
  • The food is made up of giant carbon chains which also provides nourishment for animals.
  • When animals digest plant matter, they obtain energy for their process.
  • The waste is passed into the soil .
