Chemistry
1 answer:
chubhunter [2.5K]3 years ago
4 0

Natural formation of lead occurs by radioactive decay of uranium and thorium through radon (222Rn). Four stable isotopes are known, 204Pb, 206Pb, 207Pb and 208Pb, the first three of which are used for estimating the ages of rocks. Lead compounds exist mainly in +2 or +4 oxidation states, the former being more common.

Two isotopes of hypothetical element X exist with abundances of 30.00% 100X and 70.00% 101X. What is the approximate atomic mass
Rasek [7]

Answer:

C. 100.7 amu

Explanation:

Isotopes of an element are atoms of an element with the same atomic number but different atomic masses. Each atomic mass of an isotope is known as an isotopic mass. An element that exhibits isotope, that is, that have two or more isotopes has a relative atomic mass that is not a whole number.

Relative atomic mass of X is the sum of the products of the relative abundances of each isotope and its isotopic mass.

For Isotope ¹⁰⁰X: 30% × 100 = 30 amu

For Isotope ¹⁰¹X: 70% × 101 = 70.7 amu

Relative atomic mass of X = (30 + 70.7) amu = 100.7 amu

Therefore, the approximate atomic mass of X is 100.7 amu

How is a pure substance different from a mixture? A. pure substances cannot be seperated by physical means.
jeyben [28]

Answer: Pure substances cannot be separated by physical means.

Explanation:

A pure substance is a substance which contains definite composition of only one type of component. Hence, it cannot be separated by physical means.

On the other hand, a mixture is a substance which contains two or more than two types of components and they can be separated by physical means as well.

Thus, option (a) is correct one that is pure substances cannot be separated by physical means.
