Answer:

14.434 r.a.m.

Explanation:

  • The atomic mass of an element is a weighted average of its isotopes in which the sum of the abundance of each isotope is equal to 1 or 100%.

∵ The atomic mass of N = ∑(atomic mass of each isotope)(its abundance)

∴ The atomic mass of N = (atomic mass of N-14)(abundance of N-14) + (atomic mass of N-16)(abundance of N-16)

atomic mass of N-14 = 14.0 r.a.m, abundance of N-14 = percent of N-14/100 = 78.3/100 = 0.783.

atomic mass of N-16 = 16.0 r.a.m, abundance of N-16 = percent of N-16/100 = 21.7/100 = 0.217.

∴ The atomic mass of N = (atomic mass of N-14)(abundance of N-14) + (atomic mass of N-16)(abundance of N-16) = (14.0 r.a.m)(0.783) + (16.0 r.a.m)(0.217) = 14.434 r.a.m.

Tamoxifen is a drug used to prevent recurrence of certain types of breast cancers that require estrogen to grow. Tamoxifen binds
fredd [130]

Answer:

Tamoxifen is an irreversible, competitive inhibitor.

Explanation:

In order to binds to the active site of the estrogen receptor protein, tamoxifen have to compete with the other chemical compound, and inhibits the estrogen release, so it is a competitive inhibitor. Then, you said that when tamoxifen binds to the receptor,  the protein is permanently deactivated, so it is also irreversible.

What is the oxidation number of sulfur in H2SO3?<br> a. +3<br> b. +1<br> c. +2<br> d. +4
Alla [95]
We need to keep in mind that the compound is neutral.

H2SO3
2(+1)+S+3(-2)=0 (since its neutral)
2+S-6=0
S-4=0
S=4

Therefore the oxidation number for sulfur is +4.

Why do gases diffuse more quickly than liquids?
Alborosie

Answer:

D)Gas particles move rapidly and have space between them.

Explanation:

Matter exists in three states namely: solids, liquids and gases. The particles contained in these three states are different from one another. In the gaseous state, the particles are FAR APART from one another i.e. space exists and they move at a very fast rate in contrast to the particles of a liquid, which have less space and move slower.

This rapid movement of gas particles within a less restricted space accounts for the reason why gaseous substances DIFFUSE more quickly than liquids.

There are some exceptions to the trends of first and successive ionization energies. For each of the following pairs, explain wh
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

(b) IE₂ of Ga >  IE₂ of Ge

Explanation:

Electronic configuration of Ga is [Ar] 3d¹⁰4s²4p¹

Electronic configuration of Ge is [Ar] 3d¹⁰4s²4p²

After 1st ionisation , Ga  becomes [Ar] 3d¹⁰4s² and becomes stable . Its

2 nd ionisation requires higher amount of ionisation energy. In case of Ge , there are 2 electrons in outermost orbital so it becomes stable after ionisation of 2 electrons.
