Answer: The atomic weight of the metal would be 85.47.

Explanation:

Mass of isotope 1 of metal = 84.9118

% abundance of isotope 1 of metal = 72.15% = \frac{72.15}{100}

Mass of isotope 2 of metal= 86.9092

% abundance of isotope 2 of metal = 27.85% = \frac{27.85}{100}

Formula used for average atomic mass of an element :

\text{ Average atomic mass of an element}=\sum(\text{atomic mass of an isotopes}\times {{\text { fractional abundance}})

A=\sum[(84.9118)\times \frac{72.15}{100})+(86.9092)\times \frac{27.85}{100}]]

A=85.47

Therefore, the atomic weight of the metal would be 85.47.

The reaction for producing glucose in plants, called photosynthesis, is:
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

41.16 moles of H2O

Explanation:

Ratio for the products-reactants is 1:6, so 1 mol of glucose is produced when plants use 6 moles of water.

Then, let's make a rule of three:

1 mol of glucose is produce by using 6 moles of water

6.86 moles of glucose are produced by the use of (6 . 6.86)/1 = 41.16 moles of H2O

<h2>The compound formed is NaCl and CaCl_{2}</h2>

Explanation:

     PART 1:

  • Atomic number of sodium is 11.
  • Sodium(Na, Z = 11, Group 1A) will lose 1 electron to become Na^{1+} which is isoelectronic to Neon (Ne ,Z = 10).
  • The symbol for the sodium ion is Na^{+}.
  • Chlorine atom (Cl, Z = 17, Group 7A or 17) gains 1 elecron to be  isoelectronic to neon.
  • The symbol for the compound formed is NaCl.
  • PART 2:
  • Atomic number of calcium is 20
  • Calcium(Ca, Z = 20 ,Group 2A) will lose two electrons to become Ca^{2+}which is isoelectronic to argon.
  • The symbol for the ion is Ca^{2+}.
  • Two chlorine atoms (Cl, Z = 17, Group 7A or 17) each gains one electron to be isoelectronic to argon(Z = 18)
  • The symbol for the compound formed is CaCl_{2}.
