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.

Which statement best describes the formula equation cl1(g) + 2kbr(aq) —> 2kcl(aq)+br2(i)
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

The chlorine gas and potassium bromide solution react to form liquid  bromine and potassium chloride solution.

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

Cl₂(g) + KBr (aq) → KCl (aq) + Br₂(l)

Balanced chemical equation:

Cl₂(g) + 2KBr (aq) → 2KCl (aq) + Br₂(l)

This equation showed that the chlorine gas and potassium bromide solution react to form liquid  bromine and potassium chloride solution.

Chlorine is more reactive than bromine it displace the bromine from potassium and form potassium chloride solution.

The given equation is balanced and completely hold the law of conservation of mass.

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

Explanation:

This law was given by french chemist  Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

Copper has average atomic mass of 63.546 amu. It's two isotopes are Cu-63 (which is 69.17% abundant and has a mass of 62.9296 am
garri49 [273]

Answer: 69.152% → 63^Cu

30.848% → 65^Cu

Explanation:

As you know, the average atomic mass of an element is determined by taking the weighted average of the atomic masses of its naturally occurring isotopes.

Simply put, an element's naturally occurring isotopes will contribute to the average atomic mass of the element proportionally to their abundance.
