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.

What would be the greatest difference in using an open ceramic coffee mug rather than an insulated mug with a lid as a calorimet
adoni [48]
The answer is number 4 or the exchange of energy with the surroundings. Calorimetry is a measurement of energy that is formed or absorbed in a certain process. The calorimeter is the instrument used in order to measure the energy. It is recommended that a calorimeter should be a closed system so as to measure precisely the energy and avoid or lessen the exchange of energy with the surroundings. Thus, comparing an open ceramic mug and an insulated mug with a lid, the greatest difference is the energy lost to the surroundings.
