The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:What is the relative atomic mass of a hypothetical element that consists isotopes in the indicated natural abundances.

Isotope                    mass amu        Relative abundance

1                                77.9                     14.4

2                               81.9                     14.3

3                               85.9                      71.3

Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Answer: 84.2 amu

Explanation:

Mass of isotope 1 = 77.9  

% abundance of isotope 1 = 14.4% = \frac{14.4}{100}=0.144

Mass of isotope 2 = 81.9

% abundance of isotope 2 = 14.3% = \frac{14.3}{100}=0.143

Mass of isotope 3 = 85.9

% abundance of isotope 2 = 71.3% = \frac{71.3}{100}=0.713

Formula used for average atomic mass of an element :

\text{ Average atomic mass of an element}=\sum(\text{atomic mass of an isotopes}\times {{\text { fractional abundance}})

A=\sum[(77.9\times 0.144)+(81.9\times 0.143)+(85.9\times 0.713)]

A=84.2amu

Therefore, the average atomic mass of a hypothetical element that consists isotopes in the indicated natural abundances is 84.2 amu

When the procedure calls for making a more dilute solution of an acid, or mixing an acid with other solutions, what is the corre
stiks02 [169]

Explanation:

Whenever we need to make a dilute solution of an acid then it is necessary to add water or non-acidic component into the acid first. This is because addition of water or non-acidic component directly into the acid could be highly exothermic in nature.

As a result, the acid can splutter and can cause burning of skin and other serious damage.

So, in order to avoid such type of damage the addition of water or non-acidic component into the acid actually helps to minimize the heat generated.

Thus, we can conclude that correct order of steps for making a more dilute solution of an acid is that either add all of the water or non-acid component first, or add a significant portion, before adding the acid to the mixture.

How do I do scientific notation
lina2011 [118]
1. First, move the decimal place until you have a number between 1 and 10. If you keep moving the decimal point to the right in 0.0000073 you will get 7.3.
2. Next, count how many places you moved the decimal point.
