Q

Copper-63 is 69.2% abundant and Copper-65 is 30.8%. Calculate the relative atomic mass of copper to 1 d.p.

A

(69.2 * 63 + 30.8 * 65) / 69.2 + 30.8 = 6361.69 / 100 = 63.6169
63.6 (1 d.p.)

Q

How do solids become a liquid?

A

Once the particles get enough energy (usually by being heated) they break free of their bonds and can move freely, becoming a liquid?

Q

How does a liquid become a gas?

A

The liquid particles gain energy(usually from heat) and vibrate faster, eventually they gain enough energy to break free of all their bonds completely and become a gas
