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.

What is the density at 20 degrees Celsius of 12.0 mL of a liquid that has a mass of 4.05g?​
zmey [24]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 0.34 g/mL</h3>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

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

From the question we have

density =  \frac{4.05}{12}  \\  = 0.3375

We have the final answer as

<h3>0.34 g/mL</h3>

Hope this helps you
