Answer:

265.2amu

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Atomic mass  = 254.9amu

Abundance of isotope 1 = 72%

Atomic mass of isotope 1  = 250.9amu

Abundance of isotope 2  = 100  - 72  = 28%

Unknown:

Atomic mass of isotope 2 = ?

Solution:

To find the atomic mass of isotope 2, use the expression below:

Atomic mass = (abundance of isotope 1 x atomic mass of isotope 1) + (abundance of isotope 2 x atomic mass of isotope 2)

 Now insert the parameters and find the unknown;

  254.9  = (0.72 x 250.9)  + (0.28 x Atomic mass of isotope 2)

 254.9  = 180.648 + 0.28x atomic mass of isotope 2

 254.9 - 180.648  = 0.28x atomic mass of isotope 2

    74.25  = 0.28 x atomic mass of isotope 2

    Atomic mass of isotope 2 = 265.2amu

when you draw a bow across a violin string which kind of wave is created in the air surrounding the string
Lilit [14]

Answer:

When the string on a violin vibrates, waves move in both directions along the string, interfering with each other. These waves are standing waves.

Explanation:

What are Standing Waves?

The Standing Waves are waves generated due to the vibrational frequency that produces reflected waves capable of interfering with the incident waves.

Consider a gas in a container that can adjust its volume to maintain constant pressure. Suppose the gas is cooled. What happens
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

The volume will also decrease.

Explanation:

This illustration clearly indicates Boyle's law.

Boyle's law states that the volume of a fixed mass of gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature, provided the pressure remains constant. Mathematically, it is represented as:

V & T

V = KT

K = V/T

V1/T1 = V2/T2 =... = Vn/Tn

Where:

T1 and T2 are the initial and final temperature respectively, measured in Kelvin.

V1 and V2 are the initial and final volume of the gas respectively.

From the illustration above, the volume is directly proportional to the temperature. This implies that as the temperature increases, the volume will also increase and as the temperature decreases, the volume also will decrease.

Generally speaking, elements with high electronegativities are 1. nonmetals. 2. likely to form anions (except the noble gases).
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

1. Nonmetals.  

2. Likely to form anions (except the noble gases).  

3. All of these  

4. Easily reduced (except the noble gases).

Explanation:

Elements with high electronegativities are found towards the upper right corner of the Periodic Table. Thus, they have all the above properties.
