An element consists of 1.40% of an isotope with mass 203.973 u, 24.10% of an isotope with mass 205.9745 u, 22.10% of an isotope with mass 206.9759 u, and 52.40% of an isotope with mass 207.Y766 u. Calculate the average atomic mass, and identify the element.
Naturally occurring silver (Ag) consists of two isotopes. One of the isotopes has a mass of 106.90509 amu and 51.84% abundance. What is the atomic mass of the other isotope?
Several compounds containing sulfur and fluorine are known. Three of them have the following compositions: i. 1.188 g of F for every 1.000 g of S ii. 2.375 g of F for every 1.000 g of S iii. 3.563 g of F for every 1.000 g of S How do these data illustrate the law of multiple proportions?
Click on the site (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/16PhetAtomMass) and select the Mix Isotopes tab, hide the Percent Composition and Average Atomic Mass boxes, and then select the element boron. Write the symbols of the isotopes of boron that are shown as naturally occurring in significant amounts. Predict the relative amounts (percentages) of these boron isotopes found in nature. Explain the reasoning behind your choice. Add isotopes to the black box to make a mixture that matches your prediction in (b). You may drag isotopes from their bins or click on More and then move the sliders to the appropriate amounts. Reveal the Percent Composition and Average Atomic Mass boxes. How well does your mixture match with your prediction? If necessary, adjust the isotope amounts to match your prediction. Select Nature’s mix of isotopes and compare it to your prediction. How well does your prediction compare with the naturally occurring mixture? Explain. If necessary, adjust your amounts to make them match Nature’s amounts as closely as possible. 21. Repeat Exercise 2.20 using an element that has three naturally occurring isotopes.
An element has the following natural abundances and isotopic masses: 90.92% abundance with 19.99 amu, 0.26% abundance with 20.99 amu, and 8.82% abundance with 21.99 amu. Calculate the average atomic mass of this element.
Chlorine has two natural isotopes: C1737I and C1735I. Hydrogen reacts with chlorine to form the compound HCI. Would a given amount of hydrogen react with different masses of the two chlorine isotopes? Does this conflict with the law of definite proportion? Why or why not?
Neon is an inert gas with three stable isotopes. It is used in gas lasers and in advertising signs. Its isotopes and their abundances are: Ne-20 19.9924 amu 90.51% Ne-21 20.9938 amu 0.27% Ne-22 21.9914 amu 9.22% What is the average atomic mass of neon?
Scientists J. J. Thomson and William Thomson (Lord Kelvin) made numerous contributions to our understanding of the atom’s structure. Which subatomic particle did J. J. Thomson discover, and what did this lead him to postulate about the nature of the atom? William Thomson postulated what became known as the “plum pudding” model of the atom’s structure. What did this model suggest?
The average atomic masses of some elements may vary, depending upon the sources of their ores. Naturally occurring boron consists of two isotopes with accurately known masses ( 10B, 10.0129 amu and 11B, 11.0931 amu). The actual atomic mass of boron can vary from 10.807 to 10.8 19, depending on whether the mineral source is from Turkey or the United States. Calculate the percent abundances leading to the two values of the average atomic masses of boron from these two countries.
Calculating Atomic Mass Magnesium has three naturally occurring isotopes with masses 23.99,24.99,and25.98amu and natural abundances 78.99,10.00,and11.01%. Calculate the atomic mass of magnesium.
Why is it important to understand atoms?
The CRC Handbook, a large reference book of chemical and physical data, lists two isotopes of rubidium (Z=37). The atomic mass of 72.15 of rubidium atoms is 84.9118u. Through a typographical oversight, the atomic mass of the second isotope is not printed. Calculate that atomic mass.
