Answer: 28.40

Explanation:

For A(27.977 u)

Mass number = 27.977

Abundance = 78.21%

For B (28.976 u)

Mass number = 28.976

Abundance = 1.346%

For C(29.974 u)

Mass number = 29.974

Abundance = 20.444%

Averages atomic mass

= (Mass of A x abundance of A)/100 + (Mass of B x abundance of B)/100 + (Mass of C x abundance of C)/100

= (27.977x78.21)/100 + (28.976x1.346)/100 + (29.974x20.444)/100

= 21.8808117 + 0.39001696 + 6.12788456

= 28.40

Nikolas, the fire extinguisher, and the skateboard have a combined mass of 50 kg. What force would the fire extinguisher have to
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

Force used by fire extinguisher = 60 N

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of skateboard with fire extinguisher = 50 kg

Acceleration of fire extinguisher = 1.2 m/s²

Find:

Force used by fire extinguisher = ?

Computation:

⇒ Force = Mass × Acceleration

⇒ Force used by fire extinguisher = Mass of skateboard with fire extinguisher × Acceleration of fire extinguisher

⇒ Force used by fire extinguisher = 50 kg × 1.2 m/s²

⇒ Force used by fire extinguisher = 60 N

Which statement explains why a C–O bond is
Nataly_w [17]

Answer: (3) The difference in electronegativity between  carbon and oxygen is greater than that  between fluorine and oxygen.

Explanation: Polarity of a molecule is due to the difference in electronegativity of the atoms. More is the electronegativity difference, more is the polarity.

Electronegativity of carbon = 2.5

Electronegativity of oxygen = 3.5

Electronegativity of fluorine = 4.0

Thus the difference in electronegativity of carbon and oxygen is=(3.5-2.5)= 1.0

Thus the difference in electronegativity of fluorine and oxygen is=(4.0-3.5)= 0.5.

Thus C-O bond is more polar than F-O bond.
