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.

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Chemistry teacher

Pharmaceuticals

Biochem/biotech

Materials science

Food chemist

Explanation:

Chemistry teaching

Teaching jobs in chemistry can range from teaching in public middle and high schools (bachelor’s degree required) to junior or community college (master’s degree required) to the university level (doctorate required). At the university level, you get to do research along with your teaching responsibilities.

Pharmaceutical/chemical sales

If you like chemistry but don’t enjoy being in the lab, then sales may be the job for you. Somebody has to sell all those chemicals and medicines, and buyers like to deal with somebody who knows their science.

Biochem/biotech

Biochemists and biotechnologists work in research developing new genetic tests, work in the genetic engineering (cloning) area, and are involved in the development of new drugs.

Materials science

Material scientists study the composition and structure of various materials with the goal of developing new products or improving existing ones.

Food chemist

Food and flavor chemists work in the research and development of new foods or keeping food fresh. Chemists test food additives and preservatives, develop new flavors, and analyze food for nutrient levels or the presence of contaminants.
