Answer: <u> two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen</u> atom are removed during dehydration synthesis.
Hope this helps!
The alkali metals are first column, alkali earth 2nd, halogens 2nd to last, and noble gases last. Hope it helps!
atomic mass=percentage of isotope a * mass of isotope a + percentage of isotope b * mass of isotope b+...+percentage of isotope n * mass of isotope n.
Data:
mass of isotope₁=267.8 u
percentage of isotope₁=90.3%
mass of isotope₂=270.9 u
percentage of isotope₂=9.7%
Therefore:
atomic mass=(0.903)(267.8 u)+(0.097)(270.9 u)=
=241.8234 u + 26.2773 u≈268.1 u
Answer: the mass atomic of this element would be 268.1 u
