Silver's weighted average atomic mass is 107.86, leading one to assume that its most abundant isotope would be silver-108 (or 108ag). silver does have two naturally occurring isotopes, but 108ag is not one of them. which of the following best explains this phenomenon?

a) when one is determining atomic masses in the laboratory, a significant amount of experimental error occurs.
b) when the two isotopes of silver experience radioactive decay, their most abundant end product is silver-108.
c) although silver-108 is not naturally occurring, it is synthetically created in large quantities to meet consumer demands.
d) the two silver isotopes have atomic masses of approximately 107 and 109 and are found in similar abundance in nature.

In november 1987, a massive iceberg broke loose from the antartic ice mass and floated free in the ocean. the chunk of ice was estimated to be 98 mi long, 25 mi wide, and 750 ft thick. a typical backyard swimming pool contains about 24,000 gallons of water. how many of these pools could you fill from the water in this iceberg? (assume the iceberg is a rectangular solid of the above dimensions and consists of water only). express answer in scientific notation.
