Answer:

35.48 uma

Explanation:

An isotope is when an element has equal numbers of protons but different mass value because it has different amount of neutrons.

To calculate the average atomic mass with the given data:

First change de percentages to fractional numbers, divide by 100.

Remember the sum of a percentage is equal to 100, but when you are adding the fractions the sum is equal to 1.

76/100 = 0.76

24/100 = 0.24

  %       fraction

76.00 0.76

24.00 0.24

total100.00 1.00

Now, multiply the mass with their corresponding fraction:

35(0.76) = 26.60

37(0.24) =  8.88

%      fraction amu amu

76.00 0.76 35         26.60

24.00 0.24 37         8.88

total100.00 1.00    average 35.48

Now you add the calculated mass to obtain the average atomic mass of the element.

And the value you will get is 35.48 amu.

I included an excel table so you can review it, I like to organize all the given data and the calculation in tables, also I think is easier to understand.

Calcium metal is obtained by direct electrolysis of molten cacl2. if a metallurgical electrolysis apparatus operates at 28.70 a,
ser-zykov [4K]
There is 1 mole of electrons = 96500C and Ca = 40 
Ca2+  + 2e --->Ca
Base on the formula above it means that there are 2 moles of electrons to produce 1 mole of calcium.

96500C x 2 = 193000C

193000C electricity produce 40g Calcium

Coulombs = Amps x seconds   (28.70A for 12 hours)
= 28.70A x 12 x 60 x 60 C
= 1 239 840 C

This amount of electricity will produce 

=1239840 / 193000 x 40g Calcium
= 6.42 x 40 g Calcium
= 256.96 g

So there will be 256.96g of Calcium metal that will be produced in 12 hours.
