Naturally occurring element x exists in three isotopic forms: x-28 (27.977 amu, 92.23% abundance), x-29 (28.976 amu, 4.67% abund

ance), and x-30 (29.974 amu, 3.10% abundance). calculate the atomic weight of x.

To solve for the weighted average atomic weight of X, all we have to do is to calculate for the contribution of each isotope. The contribution of each isotope on the atomic weight of x is calculated by multiplying their respective atomic weights with the abundance, therefore:

X – 28 = 27.977 amu * (92.23 / 100)

X – 28 = 25.803 amu

 

X – 29 = 28.976 amu * (4.67 / 100)

X – 29 = 1.353 amu

 

X – 30 = 29.974 amu * (3.10 / 100)

X – 30 = 0.929 amu

 

Hence:

X = X – 28 + X – 29 + X – 30

X = 25.803 amu + 1.353 amu + 0.929 amu

<span>X = 28.085 amu</span>

The input work done on a machine is 9.63 × 103 joules, and the output work is 3.0 × 103 joules. What is the percentage efficienc
notsponge [240]
Input work = 9.63×10³ J.
Output work = 3.0×10³ J

By definition,
Efficiency = (Output work)/(Input work)
                 = (3.0×10³)/(9.63×10³)
                 = 0.31 = 31%

21) The distance between crest and the adjacent trough of water wave is 3m They pass a given point
eimsori [14]

Answer:

1.67m

5m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Wavelength of the wave = 3m

Speed of the wave  = 5m/s

Unknown:

Frequency of the wave  = ?

Speed of the water waves  = ?

Solution:

The distance between crest and the adjacent trough of water waves is known as the wavelength of a wave.

  To find the frequency ;

         V = f∧

V is the speed of the wave

f is the frequency

∧ is the wavelength

   Insert the parameters and find the frequency;

         f  = V/ ∧   = 5 / 3  = 1.67Hz

The rate at which the wave passed a given point is the speed of the wave and it is 5m/s

What two physical processes balance each other to create the condition known as gravitational equilibrium in stars?
dusya [7]

Answer:

gravitational force and outward pressure

Explanation:

The stars are very massive stellar objects, so they have a strong gravitational force, which drives the star to contract itself, but also in stars there are nuclear reactions such as fusion of hydrogen and other elements, that releases energy and creates a pressure from the center to the star exterior, an outward pressure that goes against the gravitational force. So when a star is stable these two forces exist in equilibrium or in balance, in which the star does not collapse by gravity or disintegrate by its outward pressure.

The addition of electron shells results in<br><br> shielding of electrons from the nucleus.
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Addition of shells increases the distance of outer electrons from the nucleus.

Explanation:

Shielding effect is known as the attraction between the nucleus and an electron of any atom. In other words, it is the reduction in effective nuclear charge on an electron cloud.

Addition of electron shells results in the shielding of electron from nucleus.  As the number of electron shells increases then farther will be the electrons placed from the nucleus and hence it will become easier to expel the electrons from outer shells with only little amount of ionization energy.

So, the amount of ionization energy require will be indirectly proportional to the shielding effect because more the shielding of electrons from the nucleus less will be the ionization energy require to expel the electrons.
