The average atomic mass of lead given its three isotopes is 207.52.

<h3>What is average atomic mass?</h3>

Average atomic mass is the weighted average of the atomic masses of the naturally occurring isotopes of an element.

According to this question, the following isotopes with their percent abundance and atomic masses of lead are given:

  • Pb-206 - 205.97 14.5%
  • Pb-207 - 206.98 17.0%
  • Pb-208 - 207.98 68.5%

  • Pb-206 = 14.5/100 × 205.97
  • Pb-207 = 17/100 × 206.98
  • Pb-208 = 68.5/100 × 207.98

  • Pb-206 = 29.865
  • Pb-207 = 35.186
  • Pb-208 = 142.466

The average atomic mass is as follows: 29.865 + 35.186 + 142.466 = 207.52

Therefore, the average atomic mass of lead given its three isotopes is 207.52.

When electrolyzing copper (ll) chloride, what reaction takes place at the anode? What reaction takes place at the cathode?
klemol [59]

Answer:

Copper ions are reduced into copper atoms.

Cu²⁺₍aq₎ + 2e⁻ →  Cu₍s₎

Explanation:

During electrolysis,  the positive H⁺ and Cu⁺ ions move to the negative cathode and negative OH⁻ and Cl⁻ ions move to the positive anode.

At cathode, copper ions are preferentially discharged due to the low electromotive force required to discharge them compared to the hydrogen ion. The copper ions gain the two electrons lost by the chloride ions when the are discharged. (2 Cl⁻₍aq₎ → Cl₂₍g₎ + 2e⁻)

Thus the half equation is as follows:

Cu²⁺₍aq₎ + 2e⁻ →  Cu₍s₎
