Let x is % of lighter one.
Then;
[34.969x + (100-x)*(36.966)] / 100 = 35.625
-1.997x + 3696.6 = 3562.5
x = 67.15% OR 67% ....Answer
Chlorine has two isotopes. The lighter one has an atomic mass of 34.969 atomic mass units...
Chlorine is found as two isotopes, Cl-35 and Cl-37 (or and Cl). The atomic mass of the Cl-35-isotope is 34,96885 amu while the Cl-37-isotope has an atomic mass equal to 36,96590 amu ( The textbook use this unit for atomic mass, we could as well have used the recommended unit «u»). In the Periodic Table given in the textbook the molar mass of Chlorine is given as 35,45 g/mol. What is the percentage abundance of the two chlorine isotopes?
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...
Question 3 (2.5 points) Chlorine has two naturally occurring isotopes. The isotope C1-35 (mass = 35.0 amu) makes up 75.8% of the sample, and the isotope CH-37 (mass = 37.0 amu) makes up 24.2% of the sample. What is the average atomic mass for chlorine? A) 36.0 amu B) 35 amu C) 36.6 amu D) 35.5 amu E) 35.521 amu
Chlorine has two stable isotopes, 35Cl and 37Cl. If a sample of chlorine has an average molar mass of 36.19 g/mol, what percent of the sample is composed of the lighter isotope, 35Cl? The exact masses of the isotopes can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_chlorine
Review Constants Periodic Table Part A Atomic mass is a weighted average of the masses of the naturally occurring isotopes of that element. For example, consider isotopes of lithium: Abundance Mass Isotope (%) (amu) Li 7.5 6.015 On a mission to a newly discovered planet, an astronaut finds copper abundances of 69.15 % for Cu and 30.85 % for 65Cu. What is the atomic mass of copper for this location? The mass of Cu is 62.9300 amu . The mass...
The element lanthanum has an atomic weight of 139 and consists of two stable isotopes lanthanum-138 and lanthanum- 139. The isotope lanthanum-138 has a mass of 138 amu and a percent natural abundance of 8.90X10-2 %. The isotope lanthanum-139 has a percent natural abundance of 99.9%. What is the mass of lanthanum-1392 A certain element consists of two stable isotopes. The first has a mass of 113 amu and a percent natural abundance of 4.28 %. The second has a...
If the mass of the only two isotopes of an element are 115.3026 amu and 122.8251 amu and the weighted average mass is 118.1471 amu, what is the percent abundance of the lighter isotope? Selected Answer: X b. 37.8 Correct Answer: e. 62.2
