The difference is whether the relative abundance is with respect to all the nitrogen, i.e. 14 N plus 15 N, or just to 14 N. Since the atmosphere is 99.6337% 14 N and 0.3663% 15 N, a is 0.003663 in the former case and 0.003663/0.996337 = 0.003676 in the latter.
Water samples made up of different isotopes of hydrogen and oxygen have slightly different physical properties. As an extreme example, heavy water, which contains two deuterium (2 H) atoms instead of the usual, lighter hydrogen-1 (1 H), has a melting point of 3.82 °C (38.88 °F) and boiling point of 101.4 °C (214.5 °F). [1]
An example is water, whose hydrogen-related isotopologues are: "light water" (HOH or H 2 O), "semi-heavy water" with the deuterium isotope in equal proportion to protium (HDO or 1 H 2 HO), "heavy water" with two deuterium atoms (D 2 O or 2 H 2 O); and "super-heavy water" or tritiated water (T 2 O or 3 H 2 O, as well as HTO [1 H 3 HO] and DTO [2 ...
Viking Orbiter 1 mosaic of Gusev crater and vicinity including Ma'adim Vallis. Gusev is a crater on the planet Mars and is located at and is in the Aeolis quadrangleThe crater is about 166 kilometers in diameter and formed approximately three to four billion years ago.
Measuring species abundance allows for understanding of how species are distributed within an ecosystem. [4] For example, salt water marshes have an influx of sea water, causing only a few species which are adapted to be able to survive in both salt and fresh water to be abundant. Inversely in land locked wetlands, the species abundance is more ...
[68] [254] The 1.5-kilometre (0.93 mi) ice layer covering the lake is composed of water ice with 10 to 20% admixed dust, and seasonally covered by a 1-metre-thick (3 ft 3 in) layer of CO 2 ice. [68] Since the raw-data coverage of the south polar ice cap is limited, the discoverers stated that "there is no reason to conclude that the presence of ...
The genii would hold the quadruped to show its supernatural protective powers for the king and his people. The other interpretation of this symbol lies with its association with abundance. The genii shown holding the quadruped represents the divine reasoning for the kingdom's abundance and protection over said abundance. [1] (p 27)
Up to 99.63 °C (the boiling point of water at 0.1 MPa), at this pressure water exists as a liquid. Above that, it exists as water vapor. Note that the boiling point of 100.0 °C is at a pressure of 0.101325 MPa (1 atm ), which is the average atmospheric pressure.
