It has been found by mass spectrometric analysis that in nature, the relative abundances of the various isotopic atoms of silico

n are 92.23%
Si 28 , 4.67% Si 29 and 3.1% Si 30 . Calculate the atomic weight of silicon, in correct significant figures, from this information and from the
nuclidic masses. Nuclidic masses: Si 28 27.97693 amu, Si 29 28.97649 amu, Si 30 29.97377 amu. plssssss help me

Answer:

This means that the isotope of silicon with a mass number of 28 is by far the most common of these three isotopes.

Explanation:

The abundance of Si-28 is 92.23%. Si-29 is 4.68% and Si-30 is 3.09%.

Because most Si atoms have a mass of 28 amu, the average mass of all silicon atoms is very close to 28.

Here is a video which summarizes how to calculate average atomic mass from data about mass and relative abundance.

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

a. in pure water Solubility (x) = 1.26 x 10⁻⁴M

b. in 0.202M M⁺² Solubility (x) = 9.963 x 10⁻¹²M

The large drop in solubility is consistent with the common ion effect.

Explanation:

a. Solubility in pure water

Given:       M(OH)₂ ⇄ M⁺² + 2OH⁻

            I       ---            0          0

           C      ---             x          2x

           E       ---            x           2x

Ksp = [M⁺²][OH⁻]² = (x)(2x)² = 4x³ => x = CubeRt(Ksp/4)

solubility in pure water = x = CubeRt(8.05 x 10⁻¹²/4) = 1.26 x 10⁻⁴M

b. Solubility in presence of 0.202M M⁺² as common ion.

Given:       M(OH)₂ ⇄       M⁺²      +     2OH⁻

            I       ---            0.202M              0

           C      ---                 +x                 +2x

           E       ---           0.202M + x         2x

                                   ≈ 0.202M

Ksp = [M⁺²][2x]² = (0.202)(2x)² = (0.202)(4x²) = 8.05 x 10⁻¹²

=> x = (8.05 x 10⁻¹²)/(0.202)(4) = 9.963 x 10⁻¹²M

Wetlands provide habitats for many living things because of their sheltered waters and what other feature?
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

large supply of nutrients.

Explanation:

In a wetland, the soil is covered by water or is almost covered by water. This water may be coming upwards from an underground aquifer. Wetlands are covered by water for most of the year.

They are sheltered waters and do provide habitats for many living things.

Nutrients such as; Carbon sulfur, phosphorus, carbon, and nitrogen are cycled within the soil of wetlands hence wetlands have a large supply of nutrients.
