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>

PLEASEE I NEED HELP FAST!!! .Study the scenario.A small container of water with a low temperature is poured into a large contain
RSB [31]

Answer:

that best describes the process is C

Explanation:

This problem is a calorimeter process where the heat given off by one body is equal to the heat absorbed by the other.

Heat absorbed by the smallest container

             Q_c = m ce (T_{f}-T₀)

Heat released by the largest container is

              Q_a = M ce (T_{i}-T_{f})

how

        Q_c = Q_a

       m (T_{f}-T₀) = M (T_{i} - T_{f})

Therefore, we see that the smaller container has less thermal energy and when placed in contact with the larger one, it absorbs part of the heat from it until the thermal energy of the two containers is the same.

Of the final statements, the one that best describes the process is C

since it talks about the thermal energy and the heat that is transferred in the process

A railroad car of mass 2.52 104 kg is moving with a speed of 3.86 m/s. It collides and couples with three other coupled railroad
aleksley [76]

Answer:

a)   v = 2.4125 m / s  , b)  Em_{f} / Em₀ = 0.89

Explanation:

a) This is an inelastic crash problem, the system is made up of the four carriages, so the forces during the crash are internal and the moment is conserved

Initial

          p₀ = m v₁ + 3 m v₂

Final

         p_{f} = (4 m) v

        p₀ =p_{f}

        m (v₁ + 3 v₂) = 4 m v

        v = (v₁ +3 v₂) / 4

Let's calculate

       v = (3.86 + 3 1.93) / 4

       v = 2.4125 m / s

b) the initial mechanical energy is

       Em₀ = K₁ + 3 K₂

       Em₀ = ½ m v₁² + ½ 3m v₂²

       

The final mechanical energy

         Em_{f} = K

         Em_{f} = ½ 4 m v²

The fraction of energy lost is

          Em_{f} / Em₀ = ½ 4m v² / ½ m (v₁² +3 v₂²)

          Em_{f} / Em₀ = 4 v₂ / (v₁² + 3 v₂²)

          Em_{f} / Em₀ = 4 2.4125² / (3.86² + 3 1.93²)

          Em_{f} / em₀ = 23.28 / 26.07

          Em_{f} / Em₀ = 0.89
