There are 2 isotopes of the fictional element Nz: Isotope 51 and Isotope 55. The average atomic mass of the fictional element Nz

is 52.21 amu.
What is the percent abundance of Isotope 51?


What is the percent abundance of Isotope 55?


If we had 63 atoms of element Nz (and remember you can't have just half of an atom):


How many of those atoms would likely be Isotope 51?


How many of those atoms would likely be Isotope 55?

The percentage abundance of Nz- 51 and Nz- 55 are 69.8 % and 30.2% respectively.

<h3>What is the percentage abundance of the isotopes?</h3>

We know that an isotope of an element has to do with atoms that have the same atomic number but the atomic masses of the atoms does differ. In this case, we have two isotopes Nz - 51 and Nz -55. We have the relative atomic mass of the elements as  52.21 amu.

Let the percentage abundance of Nz - 51 be x and the percentage abundance of Nz -55 be 1 - x.

52.21 = 51x + 55(1 - x)

52.21 = 51x + 55 - 55x

52.21  - 55 = 51x   - 55x

-2.79 = -4x

x = 0.698

Thus;

Percentage abundance of Nz - 51  = 0.698 or 69.8 %

Percentage abundance of Nz - 55 = 1 - 0.698 or 30.2 %

If I have 63 atoms

Number with isotope Nz - 51  =  0.698 * 63 = 44 atoms

Number with isotope Nz - 55 = 0.302 * 63 = 19 atoms

Choose a depiction of a gas sample containing equal molar amounts of xenon and argon as described by kinetic molecular theory. R
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

On the attached picture.

Explanation:

Hello,

At first, it is important to remember that kinetic molecular theory help us understand how the molecules of a gas behave in terms of motion. In such a way, the relative velocity of a gas molecule has the following relationship with the gas' molar mass:

V∝\frac{1}{\sqrt{M} }

That is, an inversely proportional relationship which allows us to infer that the bigger the molecule the slower it. In this manner, as argon is smaller than xenon, it will move faster.

Now, as the gases are in equal molar amounts and considering that argon moves faster, on the attached picture you will find the suitable depiction of the gas sample, since red dots (argon) have a larger tail than the blue dots (xenon).

Best regards.
