There are two isotopes of an unknown element, X-19 and X-21. The abundance of X-19 is 14.55%. A weighted average uses the percen

tages of each isotope to scale their contribution to the total mass. Each isotope's contribution is the percentage (in decimal form) multiplied by the mass of the isotope. What is the contribution (in amu) to the weighted average from the X-19 isotope, which has a mass of 19.00 amu

Answer:

2.765amu is the contribution of the X-19 isotope to the weighted average

Explanation:

The average molar mass is defined as the sum of the molar mass of each isotope times its abundance. For the unknown element X that has 2 isotopes the weighted average is defined as:

X = Mass X-19 * Abundance X-19 + MassX-21 * Abundance X-21

The contribution of the X-19 isotope is its mass (19.00 amu) times its abundance (14.55% = 0.1455). That is:

19.00amu * 0.1455 =

2.765amu is the contribution of the X-19 isotope to the weighted average

The half life of a certain radioactive element is 800 years. How old is an object if only 12.5% of radioactive atoms in it remai
Levart [38]

Given,  half life of a certain radioactive element = 800 years.

Amount of substance remaining at time t = 12.5%

Lets consider the initial amount of the radioactive substance  = 100%

Using the half life equation:

A = A₀(1/2)^t/t₁/₂

where A₀ is the amount of radioactive substance at time zero and A is the amount of radioactive substance at time t, and t₁/₂ is the half-life of the radioactive substance.

Plugging the given data into the half life equation we have,

12.5 = 100 . (1/2)^t/800

12.5/100 = (1/2)^t/800

0.125 = (0.5)^t/800

(0.5)^3 = (0.5)^t/800

3 = t/800

t = 2400 years

Thus the object is 2400 years  old.
