Answer:

Explanation:

C decays by a process called beta decay. During this process, an atom of 14C decays into an atom of 14N, during which one of the neutrons in the carbon atom becomes a proton. This increases the number of protons in the atom by one, creating a nitrogen atom rather than a carbon atom.

Lithium has two stable isotopes with masses of 6.01512 amu and 7.01600 amu. The average molar mass of Li is 6.941 amu. What is t

Dvinal [7]

Answer : The percent abundance of Li isotope-1 and Li isotope-2 is, 6.94 % and 93.1 % respectively.

Explanation :

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)

Let the fractional abundance of Li isotope-1 be 'x' and the fractional abundance of Li isotope-2 will be '100-x'

For Li isotope-1 :

Mass of Li isotope-1 = 6.01512 amu

Fractional abundance of Li isotope-1 = x

For Li isotope-2 :

Mass of Li isotope-2 = 7.01600 amu

Fractional abundance of Li isotope-2 = 100-x

Average atomic mass of Li = 6.941 amu

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$6.941=[(6.01512\times x)+(7.01600\times (100-x))]$

By solving the term 'x', we get:

$x=694.048$

Percent abundance of Li isotope-1 = $\frac{694.048}{100}=6.94\%$

Percent abundance of Li isotope-2 = 100 - x = 100-6.94 = 93.1 %

Why must the ph ammonia buffer solution be stored and dispensed in the fume exhaust hood?

Vadim26 [7]

On the other hand ammonia is a very dangerous chemical which has a pungent smell and effect the eyes of the user. Thus it kept always in the fume exhaust hood for storing and dispensing function.

The pH of ammonia buffer contains ammonium hydroxide (NH₄OH) and a salt of ammonia with a strong acid like (HCl) which produces, ammonium chloride (NH₄Cl) mixture. The evaporation rate of ammonia is so high at room temperature thus on opening of the buffer solution the ammonia get evaporated very fast and the concentration of ammonia decreases which affect the pH of the buffer solution.

Thus the reason to put ammonia buffer in fume hood is explained.

Explanation:

so the arrows signify the movement/ flow of energy from one organism to the next. so as one animal consumes another the energy from the the consumed animal flows through the consumer. its like eating a protein bar and the energy the protein bar gives you is what you have gotten from consuming the bar.
