Answer:

15.999 amu

Explanation:

15.999 amu

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were:

Isotope A:

Mass of A 15.995 amu

Abundance (A%) = 99.759%

Isotope B:

Mass of B = 16.995 amu

Abundance (B%) = 0.037%

Isotope C:

Mass of C = 17.999 amu

Abundance (C%) = 0.204%

Atomic mass of Oxygen =.?

The atomic mass of oxygen can be calculated by using the following formula:

Atomic mass = [(Mass of A × A%)/100] + [(Mass of B × B%)/100] + [(Mass of C × C%)/100]

Atomic mass = [(15.995 × 99.759)/100] + [(16.995 × 0.037)/100] + [(17.999 × 0.204)/100]

Atomic mass = 15.956 + 0.006 + 0.037

Atomic mass = 15.999 amu

Therefore, the atomic mass of oxygen is 15.999 amu

Accurate data means the data experimentally obtained are close to the true value. Precise data means the data obtained are close to one another. In this case, the data are close to the true value which is 1.2 and the data are relatively close to one another. Hence the set is both accurate and precise.

Why should you always condition a buret before running a titration?.
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Conditioning two or three times will insure that the concentration of titrant is not changed by a stray drop of water.

Explanation:

"Check the tip of the buret for an air bubble. To remove an air bubble, whack the side of the buret tip while solution is flowing".
