Answer:

The relative atomic mass of X is 183.4

Explanation:

The relative atomic mass of an element is the weighted average of the masses of the isotopes using the carbon-12 atom has a mass of exactly 12 units as as a standard.

The relative sizes of the peaks gives a direct measure of the relative abundances of the isotopes. The tallest peak is often given an arbitrary height of 100 and is known as the base peak.

To calculate the relative atomic mass of the element X which has 3 stable isotopes with the relative peak intensities as given below:

79.52 for 180.0 u, 100.0 for 184.0 u, and 82.98 for 186.0 u, the sum of the products of the relative peak intensity of each isotope and their isotopic mass is divided by the sum of the peak intensities.

Relative atomic mass of X = (79.52 × 180) + (100 × 184.0) + (82.98 × 186)/(79.52 + 100 + 82.98)

Relative atomic mass of X = (14313.6 + 18400 + 15434.28)/(262.5)

Relative atomic mass of X = 48147.88/262.5 = 183.4

Therefore, the relative atomic mass of X is 183.4

What is closest packing? What is the difference between hexagonal closest packing and cubic closest packing? What is the unit ce
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

In crystal structure close packing is define as space efficient arrangement of constituent particles to form a crystal lattice.

Explanation:

closest packing

In crystal structure close packing is define as space efficient arrangement of constituent particles to form a crystal lattice.

Difference between hexagonal closest packing and cubic closest packing

In cubic closest packing arrangement, each sphere is surrounded by 12 other spheres on the other hand in case of hexagonal close packing, layers of spheres are packed so that spheres in alternating layers overlie one another.

unit cell for each closest packing arrangement

The hexagonal closest packed arrangement has a coordination number of 12 and it consists of 6 atoms per unit cell. The face centered cubic lattice has a coordination number of 12 and it consists of 4 atoms per unit cell. In case of body centered cubic crystal the coordination number is 8 and it consists of 2 atoms per unit cell.

elixir [45]

Answer:

Hello your question is poorly written below is the well written question

Uranium, an important component of both nuclear weapons and nuclear reactors, has two major isotopes, U-238, which has a half-life of  approximately 4.5 billion years, and U-235, which has a half-life of approximately 700 million years. Both were present in equal amounts at the time of the creation of the Earth, 4.5  billion years ago. How many years after the creation of the Earth had the amount of radiation from uranium decayed to half the amount present at the time of the creation of the Earth

Answer : 140 billion years

Explanation:

Given that :

U-238   h1/2 = 4.5 billion years

U-235   h1/2 = 700 million years

At the beginning both Isotopes where present in equal amount

Determine the T years before the amount of Uranium decays to Half

T =   ?    N'2 = N1 / 2

we know that N = No ( 1/2 )^h   where h = time / half-life time

attached below is the detailed solution of the given problem
