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

How many grams of O2 are needed to react with 18.2 g of NH3?

erastova [34]

Answer:

44 g oxygen are needed.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of oxygen needed = ?

Mass of ammonia = 18.2 g

Solution:

Chemical equation:

4NH₃ + 5O₂ → 4NO + 6H₂O

Now we will calculate the number of moles of ammonia:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 18.2 g/ 17 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.1 mol

Now we will compare the moles of ammonia with oxygen from balance chemical equation.

NH₃ : O₂

4 : 5

1.1 : 5/4×1.1 = 1.375 mol

Mass of oxygen needed:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 1.375 mol × 32 g/mol

Mass = 44 g

What is NOT a condition needed for a hurricane to form?

yuradex [85]

Answer:

The first condition is that ocean waters must be above 26 degrees Celsius (79 degrees Fahrenheit). Below this threshold temperature, hurricanes will not form or will weaken rapidly once they move over water below this threshold.

Please help!!

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Scientific laws or laws of science are statements, based on repeated experiments or observations, that describe or predict a range of natural phenomena.[1] The term law has diverse usage in many cases (approximate, accurate, broad, or narrow) across all fields of natural science (physics, chemistry, astronomy, geoscience, biology). Laws are developed from data and can be further developed through mathematics; in all cases they are directly or indirectly based on empirical evidence. It is generally understood that they implicitly reflect, though they do not explicitly assert, causal relationships fundamental to reality, and are discovered rather than invented.[2]
