The two naturally occuring isotopes of antimony are 121Sb (57.21%) and 123Sb (42.79%), with isotopic masses of 120.904 and 122.9
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

The average atomic weight = 121.7598 amu

Explanation:

The average atomic weight of natural occurring antimony can be calculated as follows :

To calculate the average atomic mass the percentage abundance must be converted to decimal.

121 Sb has a percentage abundance of 57.21%, the decimal format will be

57.21/100 = 0.5721 . The value is the fractional abundance of 121 Sb .

123 Sb has a percentage abundance of 42.79%, the decimal format will be

42.79/100 = 0.4279. The value is the fractional abundance of 123 Sb .

Next step is multiplying the fractional abundance to it masses

121 Sb = 0.5721 × 120.904 = 69.169178400

123 Sb = 0.4279 × 122.904 = 52.590621600

The final step is adding the value to get the average atomic weight.

69.169178400 + 52.590621600 = 121.7598 amu

What is a chemical formula?
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

A. An identification of the atoms in a molecule

Explanation:

The chemical formula of a compound is a representation which shows all the elements therein and the mole relationship between them expressed as subscripts.

Therefore, a chemical formula allows us to identify atoms that are within a molecule.

A molecule is a covalent compound that has discrete or separate units.

For example;

         HCl represents 1 mole of hydrogen chloride molecules consisting of 1 mole of hydrogen atoms and 1 mole of chlorine atoms.

WHAT IS THE EFFECT OF EXCESS HEAT OR TEMPERATURE ON AN ENZYME? BIO help?
kvv77 [185]
<span>An enzyme is a protein, and proteins need certain temperatures to function optimally, or even function. Temperature may unfold the protein and may stop its functioning, or it may fold the protein into the correct formation to function. But by the way your question asks, EXCESS heat would denature the enzyme and cease function.</span>
