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

Is each of the following statements true or false? Correct any that are false.
adell [148]

<u>True,</u> A mole of one substance has the same number of atoms as a mole of any other substance.

<h3>What is a mole?</h3>

Mole, also spelled mol, in chemistry, a standard scientific unit for measuring large quantities of very small entities such as atoms, molecules, or other specified particles.

The mole designates an extremely large number of units, 6.02214076 × 10^{23}. The General Conference on Weights and Measures defined the mole as this number for the International System of Units (SI) effective from May 20, 2019. The mole was previously defined as the number of atoms determined experimentally to be found in 12 grams of carbon-12.

The number of units in a mole also bears the name Avogadro’s number, or Avogadro’s constant, in honour of the Italian physicist Amedeo Avogadro (1776–1856). Avogadro proposed that equal volumes of gases under the same conditions contain the same number of molecules, a hypothesis that proved useful in determining atomic and molecular weights and which led to the concept of the mole.

How does the law of conservation of mass apply to this reaction:Mg + 2HCl → H2 + MgCl2?
krok68 [10]
The law of conservation of mass applies to every reaction. In this case, you start with 1 Mg, 2 H, and 2CL and end up with the same five only their bonds have been rearranged, or in other words, they are joined up differently.

Astroturf is a durable artificial surface used to cover athletic fields. A soccer field 0.06214- mile-long by 253 ft wide is cov
love history [14]

Answer:

The weight of the Astroturf is 179,684.31 Newtons.

Explanation:

Length of a soccer field = 0.06214 mile = 328.0992 feet

(1 mile = 5280 feet)

Breadth of a soccer field  = 253 feet

Length of a Astroturf which soccer field is to be covered, l = 328.0992 feet

Breadth of a Astroturf which soccer field is to be covered ,b = 253 feet

Thickness of a Astroturf with which soccer field is to be covered = h

h = ½ inch = 0.5 inch = 0.041665 feet

(1 inches = 0.08333 feet)

Volume of the Astroturf ,V= l × b × h

V=328.0992 ft\times 253 ft\times 0.041665 ft=3,458.574 ft^3

Mass of the Astroturf = m

Density of the Astroturf = d = 187 oz/ft^3

d=\frac{m}{V}

m=d\times V= 187 oz/ft^3\times 3,458.574 ft^3=646,753.35 oz

1 oz = 0.0283495 kg

m=646,743.35 oz=646,743.35\times 0.0283495 kg=18,335.13 kg

Weight of the Astroturf = W

W = mg

=W=18,335.13 kg\times 9.8 m/s^2=179,684.31 N

The weight of the Astroturf is 179,684.31 Newtons.

Which electron transition represents a gain of energy?
xz_007 [3.2K]

The correct answer is (A) from 2nd to 3rd shell.


The explanation :


when a gain of energy is the shift of the electrons from a shell of low energy to the shell of high energy


and we have here 2nd shell is the shell of low energy, and 3rd shell is the shell of high energy.


∴ (A) from 2nd to 3rd shell is the correct answer.

Which of the following is not a valid set of quantum numbers
ASHA 777 [7]
I believe the answer is C, n = 3, l = 3, m = 3. The magnetic quantum number, or 

<span>ml</span>, can only take values that range from <span>−l</span> to <span>+l</span>, as you can see in the table above.

For option C), the angular momentum quantum number of equal to ++2<span>, which means that <span>ml</span> can have a maximum value of </span>+2<span>. Since it is given as having a value of </span>+3**, this set of quantum numbers is not a valid one.

The other three sets are valid and can correctly describe an electron.
