Carbon dioxide is formed when oxygen reacts with carbon in positive electrode which eventually burns out. This is why the carbon anode burn away in the electrolysis of aluminium chloride.

the element carbon has two common isotopes: C-12 (12 U) AND C-13 (13.003355 U). IF THE AVERAGE ATOMIC MASS OF CARBON IS 12.0107
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

The percent isotopic abundance of C- 12 is 98.93 %

The percent isotopic abundance of C- 13 is 1.07 %

Explanation:

we know there are two naturally occurring isotopes of carbon, C-12 (12u)  and C-13 (13.003355)

First of all we will set the fraction for both isotopes

X for the isotopes having mass 13.003355

1-x for isotopes having mass 12

The average atomic mass of carbon is 12.0107

we will use the following equation,

13.003355x + 12 (1-x) = 12.0107

13.003355x + 12 - 12x = 12.0107

13.003355x- 12x = 12.0107 -12

1.003355x = 0.0107

x= 0.0107/1.003355

x= 0.0107

0.0107 × 100 = 1.07 %

1.07 % is abundance of C-13 because we solve the fraction x.

now we will calculate the abundance of C-12.

(1-x)

1-0.0107 =0.9893

0.9893 × 100= 98.93 %

98.93 % for C-12.

I'm very confused can someone help me please I would really appreciate it
sasho [114]
1. temperature is dependent
2. energy is independent
3. the graph looks like a line sloping upward
4. the line means that as energy increases the temperature also increases
5. a straight line would mean that as energy increases temperature remains constant
sorry that's all I can do

A rod measures 17.2 inches.<br> How many centimeters is<br> this?<br> [ ? ] cm
Rufina [12.5K]

This problem is providing the length in inches of a rod and it is being required to convert it to centimeters. According to the following, the answer will be 43.7 cm:

<h3>Units conversion:</h3><h3 />

In science, we use units conversion to represent measurements in different types of units depending on a specific requirement. To do so, we use conversion factors based on equivalence statements, relating the required unit with the given one.

In this case, the equivalence statement between inches and centimeters is 2.54 cm = 1 in and we can use it to get the answer as shown below:

17.2in*\frac{2.54cm}{1in} \\\\=43.7 cm

Briefly describe how the structure of each molecule differs
son4ous [18]

Answer:

A molecule is a group of two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds. A compound is a substance which is formed by two or more different types of elements which are united chemically in a fixed proportion. All molecules are not compounds. All compounds are molecules.
