Answer:  106.905

Explanation:  If there are only 2 isotopes, and 1 of them is 48.16%, the second must, by default, be (100 - 48.16%) = 51.84%  The final, averaged, atomic mass is 107.868.  This is made up of each isotope's atomic mass times the percentage of that isotope in the total sample.  The weighted value of the known isotope (109) plus that of the unknown must come to the observed value of 107.868 amu.  (107.868 - 52.45 = 55.42).  Divide that by the % for that isotope (55.42/0.5184) = 106.90 amu for the second isotope.

<u>Atomic Mass</u>  <u>% of Sample</u> <u>Weighted Value</u>

    108.905         48.16%              52.45

          X               51.84%              <u>55.42</u>

                                                     107.87

      X = (55.42/0.5184) = 106.90 amu

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Use pOH = -log₁₀ [OH-]

Explanation:

pOH can be calculated from the concentration of hydroxide ions using the formular below:

pOH = -log₁₀ [OH-]

The pOH is the negative logarithm of the hydroxide ion concentration.

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

Periods on the periodic table of elements

Explanation:

In the periodic table of elements, there are seven horizontal rows of elements called periods. The vertical columns of elements are called groups, or families. (See also The Periodic Table: Metals, Nonmetals, and Metalloids.) In each period (horizontal row), the atomic numbers increase from left to right.
