Answer:
i think its true but I’m not sure
Explanation:
I know that they can. Be mixed
4 significant figures. Use a rule called the Atlantic-Pacific rule where if the period is absent (Atlantic), you would start counting the numbers from right to left. If the period is present (Pacific), then start counting the numbers from left to right. Since the period is present, start from 5 and there are 4 digits including 5.
You have to figure out a way to write the two unknown abundances in terms of one variable.
The total abundance is 1 (or 100%). So if you say the abundance for the first one is X then the abundance for the second one has to be 1-X (where X is the decimal of the percentage so say 0.8 for 80%).
203(X) + 205(1-X) = 204.4
Then you just solve for X to get the percentage for TI-203.
And then solve for 1-X to get the percentage for TI-205.
After that the higher percentage would be the most abundant.
203x + 205 - 205x = 204.4
-2x + 205 = 204.4
-2x = -0.6
x = 0.3
1-x = 0.7
Then the TI-205 would have the highest percentage and would be the most abundant.
Because metals that are more reactive than carbon wont react with it.
