The jet stream is a band of reliably strong wind that plays a key role in keeping colder air north and warmer air south. But when the vortex weakens, part of the weakened low-pressure system can break off. This breaking-off process is what causes a polar vortex.
Without that strong low-pressure system, the jet stream does not have enough force to maintain its usual path. It becomes wavy and rambling. When high-pressure systems get in its way, a collection of cold air pushes south, along with the rest of the polar vortex system
Answer:
0.249087
Explanation:
1.5 x 10^23 atoms x 1 mole / 6. 022 x 10^23 atoms
= 0.249087
The average atomic mass is calculated by the expression:
Average atomic mass = Σzₓ(Aₓ)
where zₓ is the relative abundance of an isotope and Aₓ is the atomic mass of the isotope.
We calculate the mass of the isotope as follows:
10.81 = .1980 (10.012938) + .8020 (x)
x = 11.00 -----------> mass of the isotope
