C-12 and c-13 are naturally-occurring isotopes of the element carbon. c-12 occurs 98.88% of the time and c-13 occurs 1.108% of the time. what calculation should be used to determine the atomic mass of this element?

c) (12×0.9889) + (13×0.01108)

Explanation:

Given data:

Percentage of C-12 = 98.89%

Percentage of C-13 = 1.108%

Atomic mass = ?

Solution:

98.89/100 = 0.9889

1.108/ 100 = 0.01108

Atomic mass = (12×0.9889) + (13×0.01108)

Atomic mass = (11.8668 + 0.144034)

Atomic mass = 12.01084

"hydrogen bonding is the attraction of h atoms in the water molecule (slight + charge) to o atoms in a neighboring water molecule (slight - charge); it is a weak interatomic force. but it is still strong enough to the water molecules "stick" together."
