The <em>average</em><em> </em>atomic mass of element X that has two isotopes (one of 45.0 amu mass and 45% abundance and the other of 47.0 amu mass and 55.0% abundance) is 46.1 amu (option 1).  

The <em>average </em>atomic mass (A) of element X can be calculated as follows:

A = m_{1}\%_{1} + m_{1}\%_{1}    (1)

Where:

m₁: is the mass of isotope 1 = 45.0 amu

m₂: is the <em>mass </em>of <em>isotope </em>2 = 47.0 amu

%₁: is the abundance percent of <em>isotope </em>1 = 45.0 %

%₂: is the <em>abundance percent</em> of <em>isotope </em>1 = 55.0 %

Hence, the <u>average atomic mass</u> is (eq 1):

A = m_{1}\%_{1} + m_{1}\%_{1} = 45.0 amu*45.0\% + 47.0 amu*55.0\% = 45.0 amu*0.45 + 47.0 amu*0.55 = 46.1 amu  

Therefore, the <em>average </em>atomic mass of element X is 46.1 amu (option 1).

For each element, predict where the "jump " occurs for successive ionization energies. (For example, does the jump occur between
vichka [17]

Answer:

A jump occurs when a core electron is removed.

Explanation:

A jump in ionization energy occurs when a core electron is removed. A large jump in the ionization energy easily be seen from the electronic configuration of an element.

For Beryllium, the electronic configuration of is 1s2 2s2.

There are two valence electrons in the outermost shell hence the ionization energy data for beryllium will show a sudden jump or increase in going from the second to the third ionization energy owing to the removal of a core electron

The electronic configuration for Nitrogen is 1s2 2s2 2p3. Five valence electrons are found in the outermost shell so the ionization energy data for nitrogen will show a sudden jump or increase in going from the fifth to sixth ionization energy because of the removal of a core electron

The electronic configuration of oxygen is 1s2 2s2 2p4. There are six valence electrons hence ionization energy for oxygen atom will show a sudden jump or increase in going from the sixth to the seventh ionization energy because of the removal of a core electron

The electronic configuration of Lithium is 1s2 2s1

There is one valence electron in its outermost shell so its ionization energy data will show a sudden jump or increase in going from the first to the second ionization energy because of the removal of a core electron.

In the formation of a solution how does the solvent differ from the solute
dlinn [17]
Solute is a substance that dissolves in a solvent in order to form a solution. Solutes can be in liquid, gaseous or solid phase. Normally, in a solution, solutes are in a lesser amount than the solvents. When a solution has the maximum amount of solutes it can dissolve, then the solution is said to be saturated.

If you produced 76.10 grams of potassium chloride in the reaction how many grams of potassium were required?
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:39.8375

Explanation:

The mole for the equation is 1:1

Then the molar mass of KCl is 74.5g

Molar mass of k is 39

74.5g of KCl gives 39g of k

76.10g of KCl gives xg of k

X= 76.10×39/74.5

X= 2967.9/7

X= 39.8375
