Answer:

106.905 amu is the mass of the other isotope

Explanation:

The atomic mass of an element is the sum of the masses of the isotopes multiplied by its abundance. The atomic mass of an element X with 2 isotopes is:

X = X-109*i + X-107*i

Where X is the atomic mass = 107.868 amu

X-109 = 108.905amu, i = 48.16% = 0.4816

X-107 = ?, i = 1-0.4816 = 0.5184

Replacing:

107.868amu = 108.905amu*0.4816 + X-107*0.5184

55.4194 = X-107*0.5184

106.905 = X-107

<h3>106.905 amu is the mass of the other isotope</h3>

A piece of unknown metal with mass 30 g is heated to 110.0 °C and dropped into 100.0 g of water at 20.0 °C. The final temperatur
Ymorist [56]

<u>Answer:</u> The specific heat of metal is 0.821 J/g°C

<u>Explanation:</u>

When metal is dipped in water, the amount of heat released by metal will be equal to the amount of heat absorbed by water.

Heat_{\text{absorbed}}=Heat_{\text{released}}

The equation used to calculate heat released or absorbed follows:

Q=m\times c\times \Delta T=m\times c\times (T_{final}-T_{initial})

m_1\times c_1\times (T_{final}-T_1)=-[m_2\times c_2\times (T_{final}-T_2)]       ......(1)

where,

q = heat absorbed or released

m_1 = mass of metal = 30 g

m_2 = mass of water = 100 g

T_{final} = final temperature = 25°C

T_1 = initial temperature of metal = 110°C

T_2 = initial temperature of water = 20.0°C

c_1 = specific heat of metal = ?

c_2 = specific heat of water = 4.186 J/g°C

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

30\times c_1\times (25-110)=-[100\times 4.186\times (25-20)]

c_1=0.821J/g^oC

Hence, the specific heat of metal is 0.821 J/g°C

The chief advantage of the metric system over other system of measurement is that it
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

The metric system goes by powers of ten, so it's very easy to measure. That would be the main advantage, measurements of ten. We can also say it's the most used measurement around the world, so all scientists have little to no conversion, but the main answer is probably the first one :)
