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.

Answer:Crystalline solids have well-defined edges and faces, diffract x-rays, and tend to have sharp melting points. In contrast, amorphous solids have irregular or curved surfaces, do not give well-resolved x-ray diffraction patterns, and melt over a wide range of temperatures.

How far apart must two point charges of 75.0 nC (typical of static electricity) be to have a force of 1.00 N between them? (answ
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

7.12 mm

Explanation:

From coulomb's law,

F = kqq'/r².................... Equation 1

Where F = force, k = proportionality constant, q and q' = The two point charges, r = distance between the two charges.

Make r the subject of the equation,

r = √(kqq'/F).......................... Equation 2

Given: q = q' = 75.0 nC = 75×10⁻⁹ C, F = 1.00 N

Constant: k = 9.0×10⁹ Nm²/C².

Substitute into equation 2

r = √[ (75×10⁻⁹ )²9.0×10⁹/1]

r = 75×10⁻⁹.√(9.0×10⁹)

r = (75×10⁻⁹)(9.49×10⁴)

r = 711.75×10⁻⁵

r = 7.12×10⁻³ m

r = 7.12 mm

Hence the distance between the point charge = 7.12 mm
