Answer:
When an electric current is passed through acidified water, it decomposes to give hydrogen and oxygen gas. The hydrogen gas is obtained at the cathode and the oxygen gas is obtained at the anode
PV = nRT —> n = PV/RT
P = 2.90 atm
V = 4.80 L
R = 0.08206 L atm / mol K
T = 62.0 + 273 = 335 K (make sure you convert from celsius to kelvin)
n = (2.90 • 4.80) / (0.08206 • 335) = 0.506 moles of gas
The most abundant of all of the isotopes of an element will be the one who's mass the mass of element is closest to. In this case, the mass of atomic carbon is closest to the mass of carbon-12.
Thus, Carbon-12 is the most abundant isotope.
