4 0

Answer:

Definitely not. This is because the alkaline earth metal [basically group 2 elements] are reactive and will react with the contents of the can, contaminating it.

Why do polar molecules have a greater tendency to remain a liquid or a solid at room temperature?
castortr0y [4]
Polar molecules are molecules wherein the atoms do not share an electron equally in a bond especially a covalent bond. Due to this unequal sharing of the electrons, a dipole would form where a part would have a partial positive charge and the other end would have a partial negative charge. Having both the partial positive and the negative charges, the molecules of the substance would have a tendency to hold each other. As a result, polar molecules would exist at room temperature as liquids or solids rather than existing as gas. Examples are water, sugar, ethanol and hydrochloric acid.

Enter your answer in the provided box. The atomic masses of 63Cu (69.17 percent) and 65Cu (30.83 percent) are 62.94 and 64.93 am
dybincka [34]

<u>Answer:</u> The average atomic mass of copper is 63.55 amu.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.

Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:

\text{Average atomic mass }=\sum_{i=1}^n\text{(Atomic mass of an isotopes)}_i\times \text{(Fractional abundance})_i   .....(1)

  • <u>For _{29}^{63}\textrm{Cu} isotope:</u>

Mass of _{29}^{63}\textrm{Cu} isotope = 62.94 amu

Percentage abundance of _{29}^{63}\textrm{Cu} = 69.17 %

Fractional abundance of _{29}^{63}\textrm{Cu} isotope = 0.6917

  • <u>For _{29}^{65}\textrm{Cu} isotope:</u>

Mass of _{29}^{65}\textrm{Cu} isotope = 64.93 amu

Percentage abundance of _{29}^{65}\textrm{Cu} = 30.83 %

Fractional abundance of _{29}^{65}\textrm{Cu} isotope = 0.3083

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Average atomic mass of Copper}=[(62.94\times 0.6917)+(64.93\times 0.3083)]\\\\\text{Average atomic mass of copper}=63.55amu

Hence, the average atomic mass of copper is 63.55 amu.
