Answer:
antimony-121 has the highest percent natural abundance
Explanation:
percent natural abundance;
121.76 = 120.90 x + 122.90 (1 - x)
121.76 = 120.90 x + 122.90 - 122.90x
121.76 = -2x + 122.90
121.76 - 122.90 = -2x
x= 121.76 - 122.90/ -2
x= 0.57
Where x and 1 - x refers to the relative abundance of each of the isotopes
Percent natural abundance of antimony-121 = 57 %
Percent natural abundance of antimony-123 = (1 - 0.57) = 43%
Let us remember that isotopy refers to a phenomenon in which atoms of the same element have the same atomic number but different mass numbers. This results from differences in the number of neutrons in atoms of the same element.
We can clearly see that antimony-121 has the highest percent natural abundance.
Answer:
Percentage of first isotope = 69.152 %
Percentage of second isotope = 30.848 %
Explanation:
The formula for the calculation of the average atomic mass is:
Given that:
For first isotope:
Let % = x %
Mass = 62.9296 amu
For second isotope:
% = 100 - x % (Since, there are only two isotopes)
Mass = 64.9278 amu
Average mass = 63.546 amu
Thus,
Solving,
1.9982 x = 138.18
Thus,
<u>Percentage of first isotope = x = 69.152 %</u>
<u>Percentage of second isotope = 100 - x % = 30.848 %</u>
Answer:
No
Explanation:
I'm not educated enough on the matter but from what I've been taught water boils at 100 Celsius and it simultaneously evaporates.
Hence, 5.1 * 10^-11 alpha particles is being emitted each second by the sample.
<h3>What is half life?</h3>
The term half life is the time taken for only half of the original amount of radioactive nuclides to remain.
Thus, we have that the half life is 432.2 years or 1.36 * 10^10 s.
k = 0.693/ 1.36 * 10^10 s
k = 5.1 * 10^-11 alpha particles per second.
