Answer: The average atomic mass of the element = 88.242amu

Explanation:

The abundance of the first isotope is =35.5%

 Atomic mass of first isotope = 68.9257

The average atomic mass of the first isotope =86.95amu X 35.5%  =86.95amu X 0.355 =30.8725 amu

The abundance of the second isotope =64.5%

Atomic mass of the second isotope =88.95amu

The average atomic mass of second isotope =88.95amu x 64.5% = 88.95amu x 0.645= 57.37275 amu

Now the average atomic mass =30.8725 +57.37275 = 88.242amu

OR using the formulae

Average atomic mass = [mass of isotope× its abundance] + [mass of isotope× its abundance] +...[ ] / 100

{(86.95amu X 35.5 )+(88.95amu x 64.5)}/100

8,824/100

=88.24amu

an element has an isotope with a mass of 203.973 amu and and abundance of 1.40%. another isotope has a mass of 205.9745 amu with
ryzh [129]

Answer is: the average atomic mass 217.606 amu.

Ar₁= 203.973 amu; the average atomic mass of isotope.

Ar₂ = 205.9745 amu.

Ar₃ = 206.9745 amu.

Ar₄ = 207.9766 amu.

ω₁ = 1.40% = 0.014; mass percentage of isotope.

ω₂ = 24.10% = 0.241.

ω₃ = 22.10% = 0.221.

ω₄ = 57.40% = 0.574.

Ar = Ar₁ · ω₁+ Ar₂ · ω₂ + Ar₃ · ω₃ + Ar₄ · ω₄.  

Ar = 203.973 amu · 0.014 + 205.9745 amu · 0.241 + 206.9745 amu · 0.221 + 207.9766 amu · 0.574.

Ar = 2.855 amu + 49.632 amu + 45.741 amu + 119.378 amu.

Ar = 217.606 amu.

But abundance of isotopes is greater than 100%.

It should be lead, with the fourth isotope weighs 207.9766 amu and an abundance of 52.40.

What is the predominant intermolecular force in the liquid state of each of these compounds: hydrogen fluoride (HF), carbon tetr
telo118 [61]

Answer:

HF - hydrogen bonding

CBr4 - Dispersion

NF3 - Dipole-dipole

Explanation:

Hydrogen bonding occurs when hydrogen is covalently bonded to a highly electronegative atom such as fluorine, chlorine nitrogen, oxygen etc. Hence the dominant intermolecular force in HF is hydrogen bonding.

CBr4 is nonpolar because the molecule is tetrahedral and the individual C-Br dipole moments cancel out leaving the molecule with a zero dipole moment hence the dominant intermolecular force are the dispersion forces.

NF3 has a resultant dipole moment hence the molecules are held together by dipole-dipole interaction.

Number 4 is
-Oxidation occurs at the anode, while reduction occurs at the cathode. Recharging a battery involves the conversion of electrical energy to chemical energy. During recharging, there is movement of electrons from an external power source to the anode, and on the other side electrons are removed from the cathode.
