The two isotopes of uranium, 235U (atomic mass 235.04 amu) and 238U (atomic mass 238.05 amu),...
Natural uranium is a mixture of 238U (99.3%, monisotopic mass = 238.05 amu) and 235U (0.7%, monisotopic mass = 235.04 amu). The 235U isotope is essential to nuclear reactors. We isolate this isotope by converting a sample that contains both forms of uranium to UF6. What is the molecular mass of the UF6 compound if only 238U is used? What is the molecular mass of the UF6 compound if only 235U is used? What would the (rate of 235U)/(rate of...
A mass spectrometer is used to separate the uranium isotopes 235U and 238U. Part B: In this spectrometer, singly ionized uranium ions pass first through a 130 m/s velocity selector, and then into a 2.85 T magnetic field. Find the diameter of the arc traced out by the 235U isotope. Part C:Find the diameter of the arc traced out by the 238U isotope
Uranium has 3 naturally occurring isotopes; 238U, 235U, and 234U. Roughly 99.2745% of uranium is U-238 and 0.7200% is U-235. What is the average mass of an U atom? You may assume that the mass of each isotope is equal to its mass number. Report your answer to 6 sig figs. How many protons, neutrons, and electrons does 235U have?
The two naturally occurring isotopes of bromine are 81Br (80.916 amu, 49.31%) and 79Br (78.918 amu, 50.69%). The two naturally occurring isotopes of chlorine are 37Cl (36.966 amu, 24.23%) and 35Cl (34.969 amu, 75.77%). Bromine and chlorine combine to form bromine monochloride, BrCl. What are the masses of the four different BrCl molecules? Express the masses in atomic mass units using six significant figures, in decreasing numeric order (highest to lowest), separated by commas.
Rubidium has two naturally occurring isotopes: Rb-85 with mass 84.9118 amu and a natural abundance of 72.17 %, and Rb-87 with mass 86.9092 amu and a natural abundance of 27.83 fo Part A Calculate the atomic mass of rubidium.

Most elements occur naturally as a mix of different isotopes. An element's atomic mass is the weighted average of the isotope masses. In other words, it is an average that takes into account the percentage of each isotope. For example, the two naturally occurring isotopes of boron are given here The atomic mass of boron is calculated as follows: (10.0 times 0.199) + (11.0 times 0.801) = 10.8 amu Because the heavier isotope is more abundant the atomic mass a...
1. In order to prepare fuel for a nuclear reactor it is necessary to increase the percentage of 2350 (the isotope that undergoes fission) in the natural ore relative to the percentage of 238U (the most abundant isotope in uranium ores). This is done by converting the uranium isotopes into UF: (which is a gas at 298 K) and separating them by effusion. a) Which gas will effuse faster (235UF8 or 238UF.)? atomic mass of 2350 - 235.0439 amu; atomic...
