The coefficients in a chemical equation represent the molar ratio of the substances.
For example, if an equation says 2H2 + O2 ⇒ 2H2O, it means
2 moles of H2 + 1 mol of O2 ⇒ 2 moles of H2O.
1 mole of any substance contains Avogadro's number.
So, 1 mole of O2= 6.023x10^23 molecules
3 mole of O2= 6.023x10^23x3 molecules
= 1.8069x10^24 molecules
Each molecule of Oxygen has 2 atoms.
therefore,
1.8069x10^24 molecules= 1.8069x10^24 x 2 atoms
= 3.6138x10^24 atoms.
atomic mass=percentage of isotope a * mass of isotope a + percentage of isotope b * mass of isotope b+...+percentage of isotope n * mass of isotope n.
Data:
mass of isotope₁=267.8 u
percentage of isotope₁=90.3%
mass of isotope₂=270.9 u
percentage of isotope₂=9.7%
Therefore:
atomic mass=(0.903)(267.8 u)+(0.097)(270.9 u)=
=241.8234 u + 26.2773 u≈268.1 u
Answer: the mass atomic of this element would be 268.1 u
I suck at chemistry but i have a friend that can help
