Isotope Percent Natural Abundance Mass (u) 46x 8.00% 45.95232 47x 7.30% 46.951764 48x 73.80% 47.947947 49x 5.50% 48.947841 50x 5.40% 49.944792arrow_forwardTwo basic laws of chemistry are the law of conservation of mass and the law of constant composition. Which of these laws (if any) do the following statements illustrate? (a) Lavoisier found that when mercury(ll) oxide, HgO, decomposes, the total mass of mercury (Hg) and oxygen formed equals the mass of mercury(ll) oxide decomposed. (b) Analysis of the calcium carbonate found in the marble mined in Carrara, Italy, and in the stalactites of the Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico gives the same value for the percentage of calcium in calcium carbonate. (c) Hydrogen occurs as a mixture of two isotopes, one of which is twice as heavy as the other.arrow_forwardPolystyrene can be prepared by heating styrene with tribromobenzoyl peroxide in the absence of air.

If so, calculate the age of the universe in seconds. If you had a sample of carbon with the same number of carbon atoms as there have been seconds since the universe began, determine whether you could measure this sample on a laboratory balance that can detect masses as small as 0.1 mg.arrow_forward
