An atom has the following three isotopes: 24 amu (percent abundance = 78.99%)25 amu (percent abundance =10.00\%) , and 26 amu (p

ercent bundance=11.01\%) . Calculate the average atomic mass. What is the identity of this atom based on your calculation?

We multiply each mass with its percentage.
24*(78.99/100) = 18.96
25*(10/100)= 2.5
26*(11.01/100)= 2.86
Then add these together.
18.96+2.5+2.86= 24.32amu
An element that has an average mass of nearly 24.32amu would be Mg (magnesium)

The average atomic mass is 24.31. The element is likely Magnesium.

Work:
24(0.7899) = 18.95
25(0.1000) = 2.5
26(0.1101) = 2.86
18.95 + 2.5 + 2.86 = 24.31

Two of the simplest compounds containing just carbon and hydrogen are methane and ethane. Methane contains 0.3357 g of hydrogen
Natasha_Volkova [10]
Let the ratio of grams of hydrogen per gram of carbon in methane be M, we know that:
M = 0.3357 g / 1 g

Next, lets represent the grams of hydrogen per gram of carbon in ethane be E. The final piece of information we have is:

M / E = 4/3

If we cross multiply,

3M = 4E

Now, substituting the value of M from earlier and solving for E,

E = (3 * 0.3357) / 4
E = 0.2518

There are 0.2518 grams of hydrogen per gram of carbon in ethane.

Why does it matter if atoms are divisible ???
Andreyy89

Atoms are divisible contrary to the early beliefs that the smallest "indivisible" matter is an atom. When an atom loses its identity it means that they are divisible. Atoms chemically react with other kinds of atoms thus changing their activity.

They certainly are not that important to our lives, but it’s good to know :)
