<u>Answer:</u> The average atomic mass of lithium is 6.9241 u.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.

Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:

\text{Average atomic mass }=\sum_{i=1}^n\text{(Atomic mass of an isotopes)}_i\times \text{(Fractional abundance})_i ....(1)

  • <u>For _3^6\textrm{Li} isotope:</u>

Mass of _3^6\textrm{Li} isotope = 6 u

Percentage abundance of _3^6\textrm{Li} isotope = 7.59 %

Fractional abundance of _3^6\textrm{Li} isotope = 0.0759

  • <u>For _3^7\textrm{Li} isotope:</u>

Mass of _3^7\textrm{Li} isotope = 7 u

Percentage abundance of _3^7\textrm{Li} isotope = 92.41%

Fractional abundance of _3^7\textrm{Li} isotope = 0.9241

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Average atomic mass of Lithium}=[(6\times 0.0759)+(7\times 0.9241)]

\text{Average atomic mass of Lithium}=6.9241u

Hence, the average atomic mass of lithium is 6.9241 u.

Suppose the price of gasoline increases 10% and quantity of gasoline demanded in Orlando drops 5% per day. Demand for gasoline i
grin007 [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is;

Demand for gasoline in Orlando is price inelastic.

Explanation:

The elasticity is the degree of response to a change in price or quantity supplied to the the quantity demanded. An elastic demand responds positively to change in price, while an inelastic demand means that when there is a price increase, the quantity demanded remains the same and where there is a drop in price the quantity demanded remains constant.

If a small change in price results in a large change in demand then the good is said to be price elastic

In the question the price increases by 10% while the quantity demanded drops 5 % daily. Therefore it is price inelastic

A newly discovered element, Z, has two naturally occurring isotopes. 90.3 percent of the sample is an isotope with a mass of 267
blsea [12.9K]
atomic mass=percentage of isotope a * mass of  isotope a + percentage of isotope b * mass of  isotope b+...+percentage of isotope n * mass of isotope n.

Data:
mass of isotope₁=267.8 u
percentage of isotope₁=90.3%

mass of isotope₂=270.9 u
percentage of isotope₂=9.7%

Therefore:

atomic mass=(0.903)(267.8 u)+(0.097)(270.9 u)=
=241.8234 u + 26.2773 u≈268.1 u

Answer: the mass atomic of this element would be 268.1 u

Study the Lewis dot diagram for nitrogen. Explain what is correct and what is incorrect about the diagram. Use details to suppor
Verdich [7]

Answer:

The Lewis dot diagram is supposed to have dots on each side. What's incorrect is that there isn't a dot on the bottom, only the left and right side and the top. What's correct about this is that there are 5 outer valence electrons, and they correctly put 5 dots, even though they're in the wrong place.
