Answer:

Suppose that:

Mass of N-14= 14

and Mass of N-15= 15

fraction N-14 x 14 + fraction N-15 x 15 = 14.007

now.. if the fractions were =, that is if fraction N-14 = fraction N-15 = 0.5, then...

0.5 x 14 + 0.5 x 15 = 14.5

more N-15 would make that number larger...

0.3 x 14 + 0.7 x 15 = 14.7

let x = abundance of N-14, then (1-x) = abundance of N-15, and we could solve for x.

(X)x14 + (1-X)x 15 = 14.007

14X + 15 - 15X = 14.007

X = 0.993

the relative abundance of N-14 = 99.3%

the relative abundance of N-15 = 0.7%

So, according to the above explanation N-14 is abundant

Which statement about the density of warm water is most likely correct?

Damm [24]

Density is a property of a material which describes the mass of a material per unit volume. Density is said to be slightly dependent on temperature. We look at the density of water at different temperatures:

100 °C: 958.4 kg/m^360 °C: 983.2 kg/m^320 °C: 998.2 kg/m^3

Therefore, warm water has a lower density than water in colder temperature.

What happened to the weather after mount tambora epurted?

storchak [24]

Answer:

The eruption of Mount Tambora eventually reduced the average global temperature by as much as 3 °C.

Explanation:

The Mount Tambora eruption was the largest and most destructive volcanic event in recorded history, expelling as much as 150 cubic km (roughly 36 cubic miles) of ash, pumice, and other rock, and aerosols—including an estimated 60 megatons of sulfur—into the atmosphere. As that material mixed with atmospheric gases, it prevented substantial amounts of sunlight from reaching Earth’s surface, eventually reducing the average global temperature by as much as 3 °C.

What mass of Hg will occupy a volume of 75.0 mL?

k0ka [10]

75.0 mL in liters:

75.0 / 1000 => 0.075 L

1 mole -------------------- 22.4 L ( at STP)
( moles Hg) ------------- 0.075 L

moles Hg = 0.075 x 1 / 22.4

moles = 0.075 / 22.4

= 0.00334 moles of Hg

Hg => 200.59 u

1 mole Hg ----------------- 200.59 g
0.00334 moles Hg ----- ( mass Hg )

mass Hg = 200.59 x 0.00334 / 1

mass Hg = 0.6699 / 1

= 0.6699 g of Hg
