Boron occurs in nature in the form of two isotopes having atomic masses 10 and 11. What are the percentage abundances of these isotopes in a simple a boron having average atomic mass of 10.8 are :A. 20,80B. 80,20C. 50,50D. 40,60

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Let the percentage abundance of B-10 isotope=x
`:.` The percentage abundance of B-11 isotope = (100-x)
From the available data :
`(x xx10)/(100)+((100-x)xx11)/(100)=10.8`
or `10x + 1100 - 11x = 1080or x = 20`
Percentage abundance of B-10 isotope = 20 %
Percentage abundance of B-11 isotope = 80 %.

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`.

On analysing an impure sample of sodium chloride, the percentage of chlorine was found to be 45.5. What is the percentage of pure sodium chloride in the sample ?

Answer» Molecular mass of pure NaCl = Atomic mass of Na + Atomic mass of Cl
`= 23 + 35.5 = 58.5` u
Percentage of chlorine in pure NaCl `= ((35.5 "u"))/((58.5 "u"))xx100=60.6`
Now, if chlorine is 60.6 parts, NaCl = 100 parts
if chlorine is 45.5 parts, NaCl `= ((45.5 "u"))/((60.6 "u")) xx100 = 75`
Thus, percentage of pure NaCl = 75 %.

The average atomic mass of chlorine is 35.5 u. Do we come across a sample of the element with atomic mass 35.5 u ?

Answer» No, it is not possible. The fractional atomic mass of an element is its average mass and not the actual mass. In the case, the element chlorine exists as two isotopes with atomic mass 35 u and 37 u respectively in the ratio 3 : 1. The average come out to be fractional i.e., 35.5 u.

The density of `0.06 M` solution of `Kl` in water is `1.006 g mL^(-1)`. Determine the molality of this solution `(K = 39, I = 127 "amu")`

Answer» `Mw of Kl = 39 + 127 = 166 g`
`d = M ((Mw_(2))/(1000) + (1)/(m))`
`1.006 = 0.006 ((166)/(1000) + (1)/(m))`
Solve for `m`,
`m = 0.06024`
Alternate method:
`M = (% "by Weight" xx 10 xx d)/(Mw_(2))`
`0.06 = (%" "by Weight" xx 10 xx 1.006)/(166)`
`:. "by weight" = (166 xx 0.06)/(10 xx 1.066) = 0.99%`
Weight of solute `= 0.99 g`.
Weight of solution `= 100 g`
Weight of solvent `= 100 - 0.99 = 99.01`
`m = (w_(2) xx 1000)/(Mw_(2) xx w_(1)) = (0.99 xx 1000)/(166 xx 99) = 0.06024`

An aqueous fo diabasic acid (molecular mass = 118) containing `35.4 g` of acid per litre of the solution has density `1.0077 g mL^(-1)`. Express the concentration in as many ways as you can?

Answer» Correct Answer - A::B::C::D
`M = (35.4 xx 1000)/(118 xx 1000) = 0.3`
`m = (W_(2) xx 1000)/(Mw_(2) xx (V_(sol) xx d_(sol) - W_(2)))`
`= (35.4 xx 1000)/(118 (1000 xx 1.0077 - 35.4))`
`= (35.4 xx 1000)/(118 xx 972.3) = 0.31`
`N = n xx M = 2 xx 0.3 = 0.6`
Weight of solvent `(W_(1))`
= Weight of solution - Weight of solute
`= V_(sol) xx d_(sol) - W_(2)`
`= 1000 xx 1.0077 = 35.4 = 972.3`
`X_(2) = (n_(2))/(n_(1) + n_(2)) = (W_(2) // Mw_(2))/((W_(1))/(Mw_(1)) + (W_(2))/(Mw_(2)))`
`= (35.4 // 118)/((972.3)/(18) + (35.4)/(118))`
`= (0.3)/(54 + 0.3) = 0.055`
`X_(1) = 1 - X_(2) = 1 - 0.0055 = 0.9945`
