A mystery element has three isotopes of the following masses and percent abundances: 93.597 amu at 23.63 % abundance, 96.191 amu

at 30.53 % abundance, and 95.502 amu. What is the exact atomic mass of the mystery element?

Answer:

92.397amu

Explanation: The exact amu of the mystery element is obtained by multiplying the relative abundance of each individual isotope by  its respective amu and then summing the results.

The sum of the total relative abundance for all the isotopes should be 100%.

However, the relative abundance of the isotope with 95.502amu is not given; therefore to obtain it we subtract the sum of the known relative abundances from 100% as follows:

Relative abundance of isotope with 95.502amu = 100-(23.63+30.53) = 42.84%

Which statement best explains how a planet affects the orbit of a comet as the comet passes by the planet?
mezya [45]
Comets orbit the sun just like planets do. Except a comet usually has a very elongated orbit. Thanks to the laws of gravity comets obey the same laws. A comets orbit takes it very close to the sun and then far away again.

A parallel-plate capacitor stores charge Q. The capacitor is then disconnected from its voltage source, and the space between th
Stells [14]

Answer:

The relationship between the initial stored energy PE_{i} and the stored energy after the dielectric is inserted PE_{f} is:

c) PE_{f} =0.5\ PE_{i}

Explanation:

A parallel plate capacitor with C_{o} that is connected to a voltage source V_{o} holds a charge of Q_{o} =C_{o} V_{o}. Then we disconnect the voltage source and keep the charge Q_{o} constant . If we insert a dielectric of \kappa=2 between the plates while we keep the charge constant, we found that the potential decreases as:

                                                     V=\frac{V_{o}}{\kappa}

The capacitance is modified as:

                                              C=\frac{Q}{V} =\kappa\frac{Q_{o}}{V_{o}}=\kappa\ C_{o}

The stored energy without the dielectric is

                                               PE_{i}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{Q_{o}^{2}}{C_{o}}=\frac{1}{2}C_{o}V_{o}^{2}

The stored energy after the dielectric is inserted is:

                                               PE_{f}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{Q^{2}}{C}=\frac{1}{2}CV^{2}

If we replace in the above equation the values of V and C we get that

                                         PE_{f}=\frac{1}{2}\kappa\ C_{o}(\frac{V_{o}}{\kappa})^{2}=\frac{1}{\kappa}(\frac{1}{2}C_{o}V_{o}^{2})

                                                   PE_{f} =\frac{PE_{i}}{\kappa}

Finally

                                                  PE_{f} =0.5\ PE_{i}
