Answer:

Percent error = 2.8

Explanation:

Given data;

Actual value = 17.9 cm

Measured value = 17.4 cm

Percent error = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Percent error = [actual value - measured value / actual value] × 100

Now we will put the values in formula:

Percent error = [17.9 cm - 17.4 cm / 17.9 cm] × 100

Percent error = [0.5 cm /17.9 cm] × 100

Percent error = 0.028  × 100

Percent error = 2.8

How does the abundance of various isotopes affect the atomic mass?
eduard

solution:

The quoted atomic mass on the Periodic Table is the WEIGHTED average of the individual isotopic masses. The higher the isotopic percentage, the MORE that isotope will contribute to the isotopic mass. For this reason, most masses that are quoted on the Table are non-integral.

By way of example we could look to the hydrogen atom. The VAST majority of hydrogen atoms (in this universe) are the protium isotope. i.e. 1H, whose nuclei contain JUST the defining proton. There is a smaller percentage (>1%) of hydrogen atoms WITH one NEUTRON in their nuclei to give the deuterium isotope. i.e. 2H, and because this is relatively cheap, and easily incorporated into a molecule, deuterium labelling is routinely used in analysis.

And there is even a smaller percentage of hydrogen atoms with TWO NEUTRONS in their nuclei, to give the tritium isotope. i.e. 3H. The weighted average of the isotopic percentages gives 1.00794⋅g⋅mol^{−1}

A sample of lead has a density of 11.3 g/cm3 and a mass of 123 grams, what is the volume of the sample?
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>11.18 cm³</h2>

Explanation:

The volume of a substance when given the density and mass can be found by using the formula

volume =  \frac{mass}{density} \\

From the question

mass = 123 g

density = 11.3 g/cm³

The volume is

volume =  \frac{123}{11.3}   \\  = 11.18181818...

We have the final answer as

<h3>11.18 cm³</h3>

Hope this helps you

The sodium-potassium exchange pump
trapecia [35]

Answer: The correct answer is option E

Explanation:

Sodium/potassium pump is a mechanism that involves the movement of sodium ions (Na+) out of a cell and potassium ions (K+) into a cell, thereby regulating concentration of ions on both sides of a typical cell membrane.

In this situation, the sodium-potassium pump is usually helps in the establishment of the resting potential. The potassium voltage channels normally closes before the membrane potential is brought to a resting level.

In summary, sodium/potassium pump helps to maintain a balance in the system.
