Answer:

The percent isotopic abundance of C- 12 is 98.93 %

The percent isotopic abundance of C- 13 is 1.07 %

Explanation:

we know there are two naturally occurring isotopes of carbon, C-12 (12u)  and C-13 (13.003355)

First of all we will set the fraction for both isotopes

X for the isotopes having mass 13.003355

1-x for isotopes having mass 12

The average atomic mass of carbon is 12.0107

we will use the following equation,

13.003355x + 12 (1-x) = 12.0107

13.003355x + 12 - 12x = 12.0107

13.003355x- 12x = 12.0107 -12

1.003355x = 0.0107

x= 0.0107/1.003355

x= 0.0107

0.0107 × 100 = 1.07 %

1.07 % is abundance of C-13 because we solve the fraction x.

now we will calculate the abundance of C-12.

(1-x)

1-0.0107 =0.9893

0.9893 × 100= 98.93 %

98.93 % for C-12.

Answer:

The answer is 2i on right hand side.

Explanation:

We should star by checking the equation from right.

First we check how many Zn r there in left hand side. Which is 1. Let us check how many Znr there in right hand side, there is 1.So Zn is balanced, and don't worry about Znplus2 on right hand side it is just the ions not how many zinc r there.

Now let us check how many I are there left hand side. Which is 2. Now how many I are there in right hand side? Only 1.

So we put 2 behind I.

Now there r 2 I on both sides.

Its simple actually.
