True because it doesn’t count as a full number
The answer is 64.907 amu.
The atomic mass of an element is the average of the atomic masses of its isotopes. The relative abundance of isotopes must be taken into consideration, therefore:
atomic mass of copper = atomic mass of isotope 1 * abundance 1 + atomic mass of isotope 2 * abundance 2
We know:
atomic mass of copper = 63.546 amu
The atomic mass of isotope 1 is: 62.939 amu
The abundance of isotope 1 is: 69.17% = 0.6917
The atomic mass of isotope 1 is: x
The abundance of isotope 2: 100% - 69.17% = 30.83% = 0.3083
Thus:
63.546 amu = 62.939 amu * 0.6917 + x * 0.3083
63.546 <span>amu = 43.535 amu + 0.3083x
</span>⇒ 63.546 amu - 43.535 amu = 0.3083x
⇒ 20.011 amu = 0.3083x
⇒ x = 20.011 amu ÷ 0.3083 = 64.907 amu
4 carbon electrons. Hope this helps have a nice day
The number of oxygen atoms are 6 atoms
<u><em>Explanation</em></u>
According to the law of mass conservation the number of reactant atoms is equal to number of product atoms.
For given equation to obey the law of mass conservation it need to be balanced as below
4 Al + 3 O₂ → 2 Al₂O₃
Al₂O₃ is the product,therefore the number of oxygen atom
= coefficient in front of Al₂O₃ × subscript of O
=2 x 3 = 6 atoms
