Answer:
Abundance of 32S is 94.41%
Explanation:
The average atomic mass is defined as the sum of the atomic masses of each isotope times its abundance:
Average atomic mass = ∑ Atomic mass istope*Abundance
For the sulfur:
32.07amu = 31.97207X + 32.97146Y + 33.96786*0.0422 <em>(1)</em>
<em>Where X is abundance of 32S and Y abundance of 33S</em>
Also we can write:
1 = X + Y + 0.0422 <em>(2)</em>
0.9578 - X = Y
Because the sum of the abundances = 1
Replacing (2) in (1):
32.07amu = 31.97207X + 32.97146(0.9578 - X) + 33.96786*0.0422
32.07 = 31.97207X + 31.58006 - 32.97146X + 1.43344
-0.9435 = -0.99939X
0.9441 =X
In percentage, abundance of 32S is 94.41%

Using Models to Answer Questions About Systems
Armando’s class was looking at images of rivers formed by flowing water. Most of the rivers were wide and shallow, but one river was narrow and deep. Armando’s class thinks that this river is narrow and deep because:
- the hill that the water flowed down was very steep, or
- the sand grains that the water flowed through were very small.
Armando designed the model below to try to answer the question: Why is this river so narrow and deep?
Explanation:
The model designed by Armando will be helpful to answer the question because of the following features it possesses:
1. An adjustable leg- since one of the hypotheses put forward by the class to explain why the river was narrow and deep was that the hill that the water flowed down was very steep, the adjustable legs can be lowered or raised in order to make the slope shallower or steeper so that their hypothesis can be tested.
2. A table of sand- the table of sand serves as the streambed. By adjusting the size of the sand grains to be larger or smaller, the students will be able to to test their second hypothesis that the small size sand grains that the water flowed through was the reason for the river to be narrow and deep.
The results of their experiments will enable them to come to a conclusion.
Answer:
20% of phosphorus
Explanation:
A fertilizer is used to improve the fertility of soils. Most fertilizers contains the element nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.
They are often designated NPK fertilizers.
Now we know that the numbers 10-20-20 depicts the nitrogen-phosphorus and potassium content of the fertilizer.
From the designation,
The actual percentage is 20% of phosphorus.
10% of nitrogen
20% of potassium

Since CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) is a gas these properties would be: -no definite shape and volume. A gas is invisible and colorless to the human naked eye. An example of pure gas would be like air. Just like air, you see no definite shape and weight or volume.
