The average atomic mass of element X is 14.007 u.
The average atomic mass of X is the <em>weighted average</em> of the atomic masses of its isotopes.
We multiply the atomic mass of each isotope by a number representing its <em>relative importance</em> (i.e., its % abundance).
Thus,
0.996 36 × 14.003 u =13.952 03 u
0.003 64 × 15.000 u = <u>0.054 60 u</u>
__________TOTAL = 14.007 u
The spectator ions would be the ions that <em>don't </em>comprise the precipitate in this reaction. You have four ionic species here: Pb²⁺, NO₃⁻, H⁺, and SO₄²⁻. Since Pb²⁺ and SO₄²⁻ combine, as you are told, to form the precipitate, that leaves H⁺ and NO₃⁻ (or, in normal text, H+ and NO3-) to be the spectator ions.
Edit: NO3- might be interpreted ambiguously since it's not immediately clear that the NO3 is a polyatomic ion with a -1 charge and not an NO compound with a 3- charge, so it should be written as [NO3]- or (NO3)-.
The net ionic reaction shows the reaction without the spectator ions. In this case, that would be: Pb²⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq) → PbSO₄(s).
Answer:
The acceleration of the car with the data in the table above would be 0.17 m/s2.
If the applied force were cut in half, what do you predict the acceleration would be 0.33 m/s2
