So, water reacts with hydrochloric acid in the following formula

H2O + HCl —-> H3O+ + Cl-

We can visualize that when the two react, the hydrogen ions is taken on by the water molecule. This satisfies one of the definitions for a base

Bronsted acids = anything that donates a proton (H+ ion)

Bronsted bases = anything that accepts a proton (H+ ion)

So, as we can see, that is exactly what is happening. The Cl- and H+ detach and then the water takes on that extra H+.

H3O+ is what we call a hydronium ion

Iron has many isotopes but only 4 are found in significant amounts in naturally found mixtures. The amounts by mass percent are:
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

The average mass of iron to be is 54.76 amu.

Explanation:

Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:

\text{Average atomic mass }=\sum_{i=1}^n\text{(Atomic mass of an isotopes)}_i\times \text{(Fractional abundance})_i

1)

Mass of  Fe-54 isotope = 53.9396 amu

Percentage abundance of Fe-54 = 5.845%

Fractional abundance of Fe-54 = 0.05845

2)

Mass of  Fe-56 isotope = 55.9349 amu

Percentage abundance of Fe-56 = 91.754 %

Fractional abundance of Fe-56= 0.91754

3)

Mass of  Fe-57 isotope = 56.9354 amu

Percentage abundance of Fe-57 = 2.119%

Fractional abundance of Fe-57 = 0.002119

4)

Mass of  Fe-58 isotope = 57.9333 amu

Percentage abundance of Fe-58 = 0.282%

Fractional abundance of Fe-58 = 0.00282

Average atomic mass of iron :

=53.9396 amu\times 0.05845+55.9349 amu\times 0.91754 +56.9354 amu\times 0.002119 + 57.9333 amu\times 0.00282=54.76 amu

The average mass of iron to be is 54.76 amu.
