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.

sound travels slower in colder air than it does in warmer air why does the speed of sound depend on air temperature
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

The speed of sound in the air mainly depends on temperature. At high altitudes, where it is much colder, sound travels slower. The higher the temperature, the faster the air molecules are moving to begin with, and the quicker they bump into each other as a sound wave passes through.

If you burn 29.4 g of hydrogen and produce 263 g of water, how much oxygen reacted?
vovikov84 [41]

The reaction between hydrogen and oxygen to form water is given as:

H_2 + O_2 \rightarrow H_2O

The balanced reaction is:

2H_2 + O_2 \rightarrow 2H_2O

According to the balanced reaction,

4 g of hydrogen (4\times 1) reacts with 32 g of oxygen (2\times 16).

So, oxygen reacted with 29.4 g of hydrogen is:

\frac{29.4\times 32}{4} = 235.2 g

Hence, the mass of oxygen that is reacted with 29.4 g of hydrogen is 235.2 g.
