Be sure to answer all parts. the average atomic mass of nitrogen is 14.0067. the atomic masses of the two stable isotopes of nit

rogen, 14n and 15n, are 14.003074002 and 15.00010897 amu, respectively. use this information to determine the percent abundance of 14n.

To answe this question, we will assume that the percentage abundance of 14n is y. Since the percentage abundance of 14n + percentage abundance of 15n = 100% = 1
Therefore, percentage abundance of 15n = 1 - y.

Now we know that the average atomic mass of nitrogen is 14.0067
Therefore:
average atomic mass of nitrogen = atomic mass of 14n x its percentage abundance + atomic mass of 14n x its percentage abundance
14.0067 = 14.003074002 y + <span>15.00010897 (1 - y)
</span>14.0067 = 14.003074002 y + 15.00010897 - 15.00010897 y
14.0067 - 15.00010897 = 14.003074002 y  - 15.00010897 y 
<span>0.99703497 y =  0.99340897
</span>
Therefore y = <span> 0.99636

Based on this, the percentage abundance of 14n is </span> 0.99636x100= <span>99.636%
while percentage abundance of 15n = 100% - </span>99.636% = <span>0.364%</span>

An element has two naturally occurring isotopes, X-85 with a mass of 84.9118 amu and a natural abundance of 72.17%, and X-87 wit
QveST [7]

Answer:

This element is Rubidium (Rb) and has an average atomic mass of 85.468 u

Explanation:

The average mass of an element is calculated by taking the average of the atomic masses of its stable isotopes.

The enitre atomic mass = 100 % or 1

⇒ this consists of X-85 with 72.17 % abundance  with atomic massof  84.9118 g/mol

72.17 % = 0.7217

⇒ this consists of X-87 with  27.83 % abundance with atomic mass of 86.9092 g/mol

27.83 % = 0.2783

To calculate the mass of this isotope we use the following:

0.7271 * 84.9118 + 0.2783 * 86.9092 =85.468 g/mol

This element is Rubidium(Rb) and has an average atomic mass of 85.468 u
