Answer:

Explanation:

The activation energy for the forward reaction is the amount of free energy that is required or must be added to the system to go from the energy level of the reactants of the reaction to the energy level of the transition state( transition from reactants to product).

We can say that it is the minimum amount of energy needed to start a chemical reaction

So the activation energy of a chemical reaction is the energy that initiates the reaction.

Enzymes increases the rate of a reaction by decreasing this activation energy.

The element lead (pb) consists of four naturally occurring isotopes with atomic masses 203.97302,205.97444,206.97587, n 207.9766

Marina CMI [18]

The method of determining the most common isotope of lead is by determining the average atomic mass. The formula for determining the average atomic mass is:

$average atomic mass = \Sigma {percent abundance}\times {atomic mass}$

Substituting the values in the formula:

$average atomic mass = \frac{{203.97302}\times {1.4}+{205.9744}\times {24.1}+{206.97587}\times {22.1}+{207.97663}\times {52.4}}{100}$

$average atomic mass = \frac{285.562228+4963.984004+4574.166727+10897.975412}{100}$

$average atomic mass = \frac{20721.688371}{100} = 207.22 amu$

The most common isotope of lead is:

Lead - 207.22 amu

The atomic symbol of lead is $Pb$ . The atomic number of $Pb$ is 82.

So, the the most common isotope of lead can be written as:

$_{207.22}^{82}Pb$ and Lead - 207.22 amu.

Explain the need of the term avarage atomic mass

vodomira [7]

Answer:

The average atomic mass of an element is the sum of the masses of its isotopes, each multiplied by its natural abundance (the decimal associated with percent of atoms of that element that are of a given isotopе). An element does not have an absolute atomic mass.

Hope this helps :)
