- The element rhenium (Re) bas two naturally occurring isotopes, 185Re and 187Re, with an average atomic mass of 186.207 u. Rhenium is 62.60% 187Re, and the atomic mass of 187Re is 186.956 u. Calculate the mass of 185Re.arrow_forward2.86 For some uses, the relative abundance of isotopes must be manipulated. For example, a medical technique called boron neutron capture therapy needs a higher fraction of 10B than occurs naturally to achieve its best efficiency. What would happen to the atomic weight of a sample of boron that had been enriched in 10B? Explain your answer in terms of the concept of a weighted average.arrow_forwardHow many Ag atoms are present in a piece of pure silver jewelry weighing 21.3 g?arrow_forward
- 2.19 Naturally occurring uranium consists of two isotopes, whose masses and abundances are shown below: Only 235U can be used as fuel in a nuclear reactor, so uramium for use in the nuclear industry must be enriched in this isotope. If a sample of enriched uranium has an atomic weight of 235.684 amu, what percentage of 235LT is present?arrow_forwardAverage atomic masses listed by JUPAC are based on a study of experimental results. Bromine has two isotopes 79Br and 81Br, whose masses (78.9 183 and 80.9 163 amu) and abundances (50.69% and 49.3 1%) were determined in earlier experiments. Calculate the average atomic mass of bromine based on these experiments.arrow_forwardWhat is the nuclide symbol for the nucleus that contains 11 protons and 12 neutrons?arrow_forward
- Describe how Dalton obtained relative atomic weights.arrow_forwardChlorine has two natural isotopes: 1737Cl and 1735Cl. Hydrogen reacts with chlorine to form the compound HCl. 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?arrow_forwardDefine the term atomic weight. Why might the values of atomic weights on a planet elsewhere in the universe be different from those on earth?arrow_forward
- How many platinum atoms are in a pure platinum ring weighing 4.32 g?arrow_forwardWhile traveling to a distant universe, you discover the hypothetical element X. You obtain a representative sample of the element and discover that it is made up of two isotopes, X-23 and X-25. To help your science team calculate the atomic weight of the substance, you send the following drawing of your sample with your report. In the report, you also inform the science team that the brown atoms are X-23, which have an isotopic mass of 23.02 amu, and the green atoms are X-25, which have an isotopic mass of 25.147 amu. What is the atomic weight of element X?arrow_forward
