The average atomic mass of this new element X is 43.45

HOW TO CALCULATE AVERAGE ATOMIC MASS:

  • The average atomic mass of an element can be calculated by the following steps:

  1. multiplying the atomic mass of each isotope with its relative abundance
  2. Then sum the results for each isotope

According to this question; a new element X is found and in the sample:

  1. 70% is X-43
  2. 25% is X-44
  3. 5% is X-47

The average atomic mass of element X is calculated thus:

X-43: 70/100 × 43 = 30.1

X-44: 25/100 × 44 = 11

X-47: 5/100 × 47 = 2.35

Next, we sum the results as follows:

= 30.1 + 11 + 2.35

= 43.45

  • Therefore, the average atomic mass of this new element X is 43.45.

A radioisotope has a half-life of 12 days. If a sample is measured to contain 5 grams of radioisotope, how much time has passed
Sophie [7]
60 days have passed. In every 12 days the radioisotope loses half of its life. So in the first 12 days, from 160 grams it decreases to half so it becomes 80 grams. The second 12 days, from 80 grams, it decreases to half and becomes 40 g. The third 12 days, from 40 it becomes half to 20 g. The fourth 12 days, from 20 g it becomes half to 10 g. And in the fifth 12 days, from 10 g it becomes half to 5 grams. So 5 times it became half.
5 x 12 ( days)= 60 days

Is the volume of a coffee cup closer to 300 cm cubed or 300 dm cubed
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

It is closer to 300 cm cubed

Explanation:

The volume of a coffee cup is closer to 300 cm cubed because their american volumes are around 10 ounces, and 10 ounces equals about 300 cm cubed. Hope it helps!

How to build 6 individual atoms?
Andrew [12]

The 6 models of the atom:

1. John Dalton's atomic model: Daltons Billiard Ball (Solid Sphere) Model

2. J.J. Thomson's model: Plum Pudding model

3. Ernest Rutherford's model: Nuclear model

4. Niels Bohr's model: Planetary model

5. Erwin Schrdinger's model: Electron Cloud Model/Quantum Model

6. Wave mechanical model

<h3>Atom</h3>

The smallest component that makes up a chemical element is an atom. Atoms that are neutral or ionized are the building blocks of all solids, liquids, gases, and plasma. A normal atom is 100 picometers across, which is incredibly small. Because of quantum effects, they are so small that it is impossible to predict their behavior with sufficient precision using classical physics, as if they were, say, tennis balls. One or more electrons are attached to the nucleus of every atom, which is made up of a nucleus. Protons and neutrons, in various numbers, make up the nucleus. Neutrons exist only in the most prevalent type of hydrogen. An atom's nucleus makes up more than 99.94% of its mass.

When nuclear radiation enters the tube of a Geiger counter, it ____________________ the atoms of the gas contained in the tube. 
padilas [110]
<span>The Geiger counter contains a metal tube containing a wire (electrode) and gas. When nuclear radiation (X-ray or Gamma) enters the tube it ionizes the gas (strips electrons from gas atoms) allowing the gas to conduct electricity when the metal tube and electrode are maintained at a voltage differential. A circuit counts the frequency of ionizations. Alpha particles (helium nuclei) can be stopped by a sheet of paper and Beta particles (electrons) are often not energetic enough to penetrate metal.
