Copper has two naturally occurring isotopes, ⁶³Cu (isotopic mass = 62.9296 amu) and ⁶⁵Cu (isotopic mass = 64.9278 amu). If copper has an atomic mass of 63.546 amu,

Abundance of ⁶³Cu and ⁶⁵Cu ; 70% , 30.848%

<h3>Calculation : </h3>

Let the natural abundance of  63,  Cu isotope be x%.

The natural abundance of  

65

Cu isotope will be 100−x.

The average atomic weight is 63.546 g.

Hence, 100×63.546=63x+65(100−x)

6354.6=63x+6500−65x=6500−2x

2x=145.4

x=72.7≃70

Hence, the natural abundance of the  63Cu isotope must be approximately 70%.

For the ⁶⁵Cu calculation is same and the answer is 30.848%

<h3>What is isotope ?</h3>

Isotopes are members of a family of elements that all have the same number of protons and different numbers of neutrons. The number of protons in the nucleus determines the atomic number of an element on the periodic table.

Example : Magnesium has three natural isotopes : ²⁴Mg, ²⁵Mg, and ²⁶Mg.

<h3>What is Atomic mass ?</h3>

Atomic mass is the mass of an atom. The SI unit of mass is the kilogram, while atomic mass is often expressed in the non-SI unit dalton (synonymous with uniform atomic mass unit). 1 Da is defined as 1/12 the mass of a free carbon-12 atom at rest in the ground state.

Determine which of the following statements is true:
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

A. When an anhydrous salt becomes hydrated, it can change color.

Explanation:

The cobalt (II) chloride (CoCl₂) have a blue color in the anhydrous form while after hydration, most commonly it will form the hexahydrate, it will change its color to violet.

B. not really, if we take the cobalt (II) chloride in the anhydrous form the bond between cobalt and the chloride it is ionic.

C. nope, the mass is changed depending on the lost water mass

D. no, the mass will increase and sometimes as in the case of cobalt (II) chloride the color will change, so you have changes of the physical properties of the substance.
