Answer:

40.06 amu.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Isotope A (K-39)

Mass of A = 39 amu

Abundance of A = 23%

Isotope B (K-40)

Mass of B = 40 amu

Abundance of B = 48%

Isotope C (K-41)

Mass of C = 41 amu

Abundance of C = 100 – (23 + 48)

Abundance of C = 100 – 71

Abundance of C = 29%

Average mass =?

Average mass = [(Mass of A × A%)/100] + [(Mass of B × B%)/100] + [(Mass of C × C%)/100]

= [(39 × 23)/100] + [(40 × 48)/100] + [(41 × 29)/100]

= 8.97 + 19.2 + 11.89

= 40.06 amu

Thus, the average mass of potassium is 40.06 amu

Change 2.6 km/day to m/week
professor190 [17]
First, we need to transform km to meters.

1 km = 1000 meters

2.6 * 1000 = 2600

Now, there are 7 days in a week. 

Multiply.

2600 * 7 = 18,200

Final answer: 18,200 meters a week

An adult mosquitoes lifespan is about 16 days how many minutes is that
AVprozaik [17]
The answer is 23, 040 minutes. To solve this you can start by changing days in to hours. We know that there are 24 hours in a day. To find how many hours are in 16 days you multiply 24 by 16 which is 384. Next you must find out how many minutes are in 384 hours. we know there are 60 minutes per hour. To find how many minutes are in 384 hours, you multiply 384 by 60. To this you get 23, 040 which is your answer.

3.0 L of oxygen gas is heated from 100k to 250k. What is the new volume after the temperature has been increased???
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

7.5 L

Explanation:

Using Charles' law, which is V1/T1=V2/T2, we can plug in these numbers to find the answer.  The law states that volume is directly proportional to temperature. 3.0L/100K = x L / 250 K. Solve for x to get 7.5 L. Hope this helps.

Which of the following statements provides the BEST explanation for the many chemical similarities between two elements in a Mai
rjkz [21]

Answer:

(b) Both have the same number of valence electrons.  

Step-by-step explanation:

We find the most striking chemical similarities between two Main Group elements when they are in the same Group of the Periodic Table.

Elements in the same Group have the same number of valence electrons.

(a) is <em>wrong</em>, because elements in the same group have <em>different masses</em>.

(c) is <em>wrong,</em> because atoms with the same number of protons belong to the s<em>ame element</em>.

(d) is wrong, because elements in the same Group must be in . <em>different Periods.</em>
