The isotope that is more abundant, given the data is isotope Li7

<h3>Assumption</h3>
  • Let Li6 be isotope A
  • Let Li7 be isotope B

<h3>How to determine whiche isotope is more abundant</h3>
  • Molar mass of isotope A (Li6) = 6.02 u
  • Molar mass of isotope B (Li7) = 7.02 u
  • Atomic mass of lithium = 6.94 u
  • Abundance of A = A%
  • Abundance of B = (100 - A)%

Atomic mass = [(mass of A × A%) / 100] + [(mass of B × B%) / 100]

6.94 = [(6.02 × A%) / 100] + [(7.02 × (100 - A)) / 100]

6.94 = [6.02A% / 100] + [702 - 7.02A% / 100]

6.94 = [6.02A% + 702 - 7.02A%] / 100

Cross multiply

6.02A% + 702 - 7.02A% = 6.94 × 100

6.02A% + 702 - 7.02A% = 694

Collect like terms

6.02A% - 7.02A% = 694 - 702

-A% = -8

A% = 8%

Thus,

Abundance of B = (100 - A)%

Abundance of B = (100 - 8)%

Abundance of B = 92%

SUMMARY

  • Abundance of A (Li6) = 8%
  • Abundance of B (Li7) = 92%

From the above, isotope Li7 is more abundant.

klemol [59]

Answer:

The equivalent circuit for the electrode while the electrolyte gel is fresh

From the uploaded diagram the part A is the electrolyte, the part part B is the electrolyte gel when is fresh and the part C is the surface of the skin

Now as the electrolyte gel start to dry out the resistance R_s of the gel begins to increase and this starts to limit the flow of current . Now when the gel is then completely dried out  the resistance of the gel R_s then increases to infinity  and this in turn cut off flow of current.

The diagram illustrating this is shown on the second uploaded image
