Answer:

There are different isotopes for different elements

Explanation:

The mass of each of the isotopes of an element are added with their percentage each then they are divided by 100

Example boron 11 is 80 % boron 10 is 20%

Total mass of boron 10 is 20*10

Total mass of boron 11 is 80*11

Atomic mass is (20*10)+(80*11)/100

Which is 10.8 and it is rounded off as 11 in the periodic table

Answer:

The atomic mass is the average number of protons and neutrons for all natural isotopes of an element. It is a decimal number.

Explanation:

Atomic Mass and Mass Number Example :

Hydrogen has three natural isotopes: 1H, 2H, and 3H. Each isotope has a different mass number.

1H has 1 proton. Its mass number is 1. 2H has 1 proton and 1 neutron. Its mass number is 2. 3H has 1 proton and 2 neutrons. Its mass number is 3. 99.98% of all hydrogen is 1H 0.018% of all hydrogen is 2H 0.002% of all hydrogen is 3H Together, they give a value of atomic mass of hydrogen equal to 1.0079 g/mol.

If you burn 50.6 g of hydrogen and produce 452 g of water, how much oxygen reacted?
Svetllana [295]
Acc. to Law of Conservation of Mass
Mass of reactants=Mass of Products
Let mass of Oxygen be x.
So,
50.6+x=452
x=452-50.6
=401.4 g

4. Which of these are environmental costs of using
Vinvika [58]

Answer: b. The waste generated is hazardous and must  be disposed of.

c. Nuclear material can be spilled into the ocean  if reactors are near the coast.

d. A large amount of cold water is generated,  which must be stored somewhere.​

Explanation:

The main environmental costs for produced during the nuclear power plant consists of procurement of fuel and the thermal load is also produced with cold water discharge in the sea. This can contaminate the sea, hence, must be stored somewhere. The nuclear waste consists of radioactive substances which are hazardous for the environment. The nuclear based electricity does not produce carbon dioxide.
