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.

Answer:

Using diverse nutrient sources can help maintain soil health. Manure and compost add organic matter as well as an array of nutrients, but using just compost or manure to meet the nitrogen needs of the crop every year can result in excessive phosphorus levels in the soil.

37.9 grams of an unknown substance undergoes a temperature increase of
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

1.023 J / g °C

Explanation:

m = 37.9 grams

ΔT = 25.0*C

H = 969 J

c = ?

The equation relating these equation is;

H = mcΔT

making c subject of formulae;

c = H / mΔT

c = 969 J / (37.9 g * 25.0*C)

Upon solving;

c = 1.023 J / g °C

How many grams of carbon dioxide will form if 5.5 g of C3H8 burns in 15 g of O2?
mr Goodwill [35]
C3H8+3O2--->3CO2+8H
Therefore for every 1:3 there are 3 Carbon dioxides that form. That means find the limiting reactant from the two reactants.
5.5g(1mole C3H8/44.03g of C3H8)=0.1249 moled of C3H8 and if for every one C3H8 we can form three CO2. We can assume 0.3747 miles of CO2 will be produced.
15g of O2(1 mole O2/32g of O2)=0.4685moles O2 and if for every three O2 we can produce three CO2 we may assume a 1:1 ratio.
This means C3H8 will be your limiting reactant. Therefore 0.3747 moles of CO2 will be produced.
0.3747 moles of CO2(48.01 g of CO2/1 mole of CO2)= 17.99 grams of CO2
