<h3>The average atomic mass of Iodine : 126.86 amu</h3><h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

80% 127I, 17% 126I, and 3% 128I.

Required

The average atomic mass

Solution

The elements in nature have several types of isotopes

Atomic mass is the average atomic mass of all its isotopes

Mass atom X = mass isotope 1 . % + mass isotope 2.% + ... mass isotope n.%

Atomic mass of Iodine = 0.8 x 127 + 0.17 x 126 + 0.03 x 128

Atomic mass of Iodine = 101.6 + 21.42 + 3.84

Atomic mass of Iodine = 126.86 amu

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

3 valence electrons

Explanation:

Because aluminum has three, that means three fluorines can bond. The make the formula AlF3, also known as aluminum trifluoride. Each of the fluorine atoms gets an electron to fill their shell, and the aluminum loses three, giving it a filled shell too (remember, aluminum has three extra electrons).

What is the pressure, in atm, of 24.5 L of ideal gas at 247.8 K if there are 1.8 moles present?
Flura [38]

Answer:

p = 1.5 atm

Explanation:

pV = nRT

p = nRT/V = [1.8 mol×(0.082 atm L/mol K)×247.8 K]/24.5 L

p = 1.5 atm
