Alpha particles, also called alpha ray or alpha radiation, consist of two protons and two neutrons bound together into a particle identical to a <u>helium-4 nucleus. </u>They are generally produced in the process of alpha decay, but may also be produced in other ways.

Composition: 2 protons, 2 neutrons

Mass: 6.644657230(82)×10−27 kg; 4.0015061...

Electric charge: +2 e

Symbol: α, α2+, He2+

Solve 4x-8x=-3 I need help

koban [17]

4x − 8x= −3

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

4x−8x = −3

4x + −8x= −3

(4x + −8x) = −3 (Combine Like Terms)

−4x = −3

Step 2: Divide both sides by -4.

−4x / −4

−3 - / −4

so your answer will be x= 3/4 .

Iron has many isotopes but only 4 are found in significant amounts in naturally found mixtures. The amounts by mass percent are:

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

The average mass of iron to be is 54.76 amu.

Explanation:

Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:

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

Mass of Fe-54 isotope = 53.9396 amu

Percentage abundance of Fe-54 = 5.845%

Fractional abundance of Fe-54 = 0.05845

Mass of Fe-56 isotope = 55.9349 amu

Percentage abundance of Fe-56 = 91.754 %

Fractional abundance of Fe-56= 0.91754

Mass of Fe-57 isotope = 56.9354 amu

Percentage abundance of Fe-57 = 2.119%

Fractional abundance of Fe-57 = 0.002119

Mass of Fe-58 isotope = 57.9333 amu

Percentage abundance of Fe-58 = 0.282%

Fractional abundance of Fe-58 = 0.00282

Average atomic mass of iron :

$=53.9396 amu\times 0.05845+55.9349 amu\times 0.91754 +56.9354 amu\times 0.002119 + 57.9333 amu\times 0.00282=54.76 amu$

The average mass of iron to be is 54.76 amu.
