Answer:

Sedimentary rocks are the product of 1) weathering of preexisting rocks, 2) transport of the weathering products, 3) deposition of the material, followed by 4) compaction, and 5) cementation of the sediment to form a rock. The latter two steps are called lithification.

Naturally occurring element X exists in three isotopic forms: X-28 (27.979 amu, 92.21% abundance), X-29 (28.976 amu 4.70% abunda

bezimeni [28]

Answer: The average atomic mass of X is 28.09 amu

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)

For isotope 1:

Mass of isotope 1 = 27.979 amu

Percentage abundance of isotope 1 = 92.21 %

Fractional abundance of isotope 1 = 0.9212

For isotope 2:

Mass of isotope 2 = 28.976 amu

Percentage abundance of isotope 2 = 4.70 %

Fractional abundance of isotope 2 = 0.0470

For isotope 3:

Mass of isotope 3 = 29.974 amu

Percentage abundance of isotope 3 = 3.09 %

Fractional abundance of isotope 3 = 0.0309

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Average atomic mass of X}=[(27.979\times 0.9212)+(28.976\times 0.0470)+(29.974\times 0.0309)]$

$\text{Average atomic mass of X}=28.09amu$

Hence, the average atomic mass of X is 28.09 amu

Answer:

c mid ocean ridges

Explanation:

google def-A mid-ocean ridge or mid-oceanic ridge is an underwater mountain range, formed by plate tectonics. This uplifting of the ocean floor occurs when convection currents rise in the mantle beneath the oceanic crust and create magma where two tectonic plates meet at a divergent boundary.
