Answer:

neutrons_{Ga-69}=38\\\\neutrons_{Ga-71}=40

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons and electrons but different atomic mass, we can compute the number of neutrons by subtracting the number of protons to the atomic mass of the isotope; thus, for Ga-69 and Ga-71 (rounded up to whole numbers), we obtain:

neutrons_{Ga-69}=69-31=38\\\\neutrons_{Ga-71}=71-31=40

Best regards!

Calculate the atomic mass of Carbon if the two common isotopes of carbon have masses of
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

Average atomic mass of carbon = 12.01 amu.

Explanation:

Given data:

Abundance of C¹² = 98.89%

Abundance of C¹³ = 1.11%

Atomic mass of C¹² = 12.000 amu

Atomic mass of C¹³ = 13.003 amu

Average atomic mass = ?

Solution:

Average atomic mass of carbon = (abundance of 1st isotope × its atomic mass) +(abundance of 2nd isotope × its atomic mass)  / 100

Average atomic mass of carbon = (12.000×98.89)+(13.003×1.11) /100

Average atomic mass of carbon=  1186.68 + 14.43333 / 100

Average atomic mass of carbon = 1201.11333 / 100

Average atomic mass of carbon = 12.01 amu.

Blood is red. Is this an intensive or extensive physical property?
Anastaziya [24]

Answer: Intensive physical property

Explanation: Color is an intensive physical property since intensive properties are properties that stay the same no matter the amount of the substance is present. Blood is still red whether or not you have 2 liters of it or 4 liters.
