Chlorine has two isotopes of atomic mass units `34.97 u and 36.97 u`. The relative abundances of these two isotopes are `0.735 and 0.245` respectively. Find out the average atomic mass of chlorine. |
Answer» Atomic mass of first isotope `= 34.97 u` Relative abundance of first isotope `= 0.735` Atomic mass of second isotope `= 36.97 u` Relative abundance of second isotope `= 0.245` Average atomic mass of chlorine `= ((34.97u)xx0.735+(36.97u)xx0.245)/(0.735+0.245)` `=((25.703+9.058)u)/(0.980)=35.47u`. |
