- The element bromine is Br2, so the mass of a Br2 molecule is the sum of the mass of its two atoms. Bromine has two isotopes. The mass spectrum of Br2 produces three peaks with relative masses of 157.836, 159.834, and 161.832, and relative heights of 6.337, 12.499. and 6.164, respectively. (a) What isotopes of bromine are present in each of the three peaks? (b) What is the mass of each bromine isotope? (c) What is the average atomic mass of bromine? (d) What is the abundance of each of the two bromine isotopes?arrow_forward3.116 The simplest approximate chemical formula for the human body could be written as C728H4850O1970N104Ca24P16K4S4Na3Cl2Mg. Based on this formula, describe how you would rank by mass the ten most abundant elements in the human body.arrow_forwardThe action of bacteria on meat and fish produces a compound called cadaverine. As its name and origin imply, it stinks! (It is also present in bad breath and adds to the odor of urine.) It is 58.77% C, 13.81% H, and 27.40% N. Its molar mass is 102.2 g/mol. Determine the molecular formula of cadaverine.arrow_forward
- The density of a mixture of gases may be calculated by summing the products of the density of each gas and the fractional volume of space occupied by that gas. (Note the similarity to the calculation of the molar mass of an element from the isotopic masses and fractional abundances.) Assume dry air with CO2 removed is 20.96% (by volume) oxygen. 78.11% nitrogen, and 0.930% argon. Determine the density of argon.arrow_forwardGallium arsenide, GaAs, has gained widespread use in semiconductor devices that convert light and electrical signals in fiber-optic communications systems. Gallium consists of 60.% 69Ga and 40.% 71Ga. Arsenic has only one naturally occurring isotope, 75As. Gallium arsenide is a polymeric material, but its mass spectrum shows fragments with the formulas GaAs and Ga2As2. What would the distribution of peaks look like for these two fragments?arrow_forwardThe element europium exists in nature as two isotopes: 151Eu has a mass of 150.9196 u and 153Eu has a mass of 152.9209 u. The average atomic mass of europium is 151.96 u. Calculate the relative abundance of the two europium isotopes.arrow_forward
