What is the relative atomic mass of an element

Chemistry
1 answer:
Gennadij [26K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

20.2 amu.

Explanation:

Let A represent isotope ²⁰X

Let B represent isotope ²²X

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

For Isotope A (²⁰X):

Mass of A = 20

Abundance (A%) = 90%

For Isotope B (²²X):

Mass of B = 22

Abundance (A%) = 10%

Relative atomic mass (RAM) =?

The relative atomic mass (RAM) of the element can be obtained as follow:

RAM = [(Mass of A × A%)/100] + [(Mass of B × B%)/100]

RAM = [(20 × 90)/100] + [(22 × 10)/100]

RAM = 18 + 2.2

RAM = 20.2 amu

Thus, relative atomic mass (RAM) of the element is 20.2 amu

One way to determine the degree of saturation of a solid-liquid solution is to drop a crystal of the solute into the solution.
Dafna1 [17]

The answer is D: Saturated.

A saturated solution is one in which the exact maximum amount of solute has been dissolved.  So, new solute will not dissolve in the solution.  In contrast, an unsaturated solution can hold more solute, so if that option were correct, the crystal would have dissolved.

The other two terms are a bit more complicated.  A supersaturated solution is one holding an amount of solute above the sustainable limit.  Because of that, when more solute is added, the solution will immediately adjust, and some solute will come out of solution in a precipitate.  Because the crystal isn't growing, we can eliminate this option.

A concentrated solution is one holding a relatively large amount of solute.  However, you can have concentrated solutions that are saturated and unconcentrated (the word for this is dilute) solutions that aren't saturated.  Therefore, we can say that because the crystal doesn't dissolve, this solution is saturated, but we can't say with certainty that it is concentrated.

Because the first three options are invalid, as described above, while the scenario does describe a saturated solution, D is the correct answer.

What explains the fact that no machine is 100 percent efficient?
kati45 [8]
Hello, to answer your question. It is because all machines require a fuel or source to power it making it imperfect for using some source that may not be renewable.

Report the number 315.05 to 3 significant figures.
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

315.

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, since the given number has five significant figures as the zero is to the right of the first nonzero digit (3), if it is required to report it with three significant figures, it is necessary to "cut" it at the first five without any rounding since the subsequent zero is less than five.

Thus the number turns out:

315

Best regards.
