Uranium has three common isotopes. The average atomic mass of uranium is 23.7 u/atom.

<h3>What are isotopes?</h3>

Isotopes are similar elements that have a different number of protons.

Uranium has three isotopes

The abundance of 2U has an atomic mass of 233.878 is 0.01%

The abundance of U has a mass of 234.892 amu is 0.71%

The **U has an atomic mass of 237.911 amu is 99.28%

Let's assume we have 10 000 atoms of Uranium

Mass of the 0.01 atoms = 0.01 x 233.878 = 2.33878

Mass of the 0.71 atoms = 0.71 x 234.892 = 166.773

Mass of the 99.28 atoms = 99.28 x 237.911 = 23,619.80

2.33878 + 166.773 + 23,619.80 = 23,788.8

23,788.8 / 1000 = 23.7 u/atom

Thus, the average atomic mass of uranium is 23.7 u/atom.

Dolomite is a mixed carbonate of calcium and magnesium. Calcium and magnesium carbonates both decompose upon heating to produce

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

72.03 %

Explanation:

Total mass of dolomite = 9.66 g

Let the mass of Magnesium carbonate = x g

The mass of calcium carbonate = 9.66 - x g

Calculation of the moles of Magnesium carbonate as:-

Molar mass of Magnesium carbonate = 122.44 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$

Thus,

$Moles= \frac{x\ g}{84.3139\ g/mol}=\frac{x}{84.3139}\ mol$

Calculation of the moles of calcium carbonate as:-

Molar mass of calcium carbonate = 100.0869 g/mol

Thus,

$Moles= \frac{9.66 - x\ g}{100.0869\ g/mol}=\frac{9.66 - x}{100.0869}\ mol$

According to the reaction shown below:-

$MgCO_3\rightarrow MgO+CO_2$

$CaCO_3\rightarrow CaO+CO_2$

In both the cases, the oxides formed from the carbonates in the 1:1 ratio.

So, Moles of MgO = $\frac{x}{84.3139}\ mol$

Molar mass of MgO = 40.3044 g/mol

Thus, Mass = Moles*Molar mass = $\frac{x}{84.3139}\times 40.3044 \ g$

Moles of CaO = $\frac{9.66 - x}{100.0869}\ mol$

Molar mass of CaO = 56.0774 g/mol

Thus, Mass = Moles*Molar mass = $\frac{9.66 - x}{100.0869}\times 56.0774 \ g$

Given that total mass of the oxide = 4.84 g

Thus,

$\frac{x}{84.3139}\times 40.3044 +\frac{9.66 - x}{100.0869}\times 56.0774=4.84$

$\frac{40.3044x}{84.3139}+56.0774\times \frac{-x+9.66}{100.0869}=4.84$

$-694.1618435x+45673.48749\dots =40843.38968\dots$

$x=\frac{4830.09780\dots }{694.1618435}$

$x=6.9582$

Thus, the mass of Magnesium carbonate = 6.9582 g

$\%\ mass=\frac{Mass_{MgCO_3}}{Total\ mass}\times 100$

$\%\ mass=\frac{6.9582}{9.66}\times 100=72.03\ \%$
