A certain element exists as two different isotopes. 76.00% of its atoms have a mass of 35.00 amu and 24.00% of its atoms have a

mass of 37.00 amu. What is the average atomic mass of this element? (Do not round your answer)

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.

What is the percentage by mass of nitrogen in the fertiliser (NH4)3PO4? [Ar: H = 1, N = 14, O = 16, P = 31]
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

(NH4)3PO4 is 28.2 % N , 8.1% H, 20.8 % P and 43.0 % O by mass.

Explanation:

the formula In chemistry, the mass fraction of a substance within a mixture is the ratio w_{i} of the mass m_{i} of that substance to the total mass {\displaystyle m_{\text{tot}}} of the mixture. Expressed as a formula, the mass fraction is: {\displaystyle w_{i}={\frac {m_{i}}{m_{\text{tot}}}}.}

238 93 Np → 0 -1 e+ ?​
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

²³⁸₉₃Np  → Pu₉₄²³⁸ + ⁰₋₁e

Explanation:

²³⁸₉₃Np  → Pu₉₄²³⁸ + ⁰₋₁e

Beta radiations:

Beta radiations are result from the beta decay in which electron is ejected. The neutron inside of the nucleus converted into the proton an thus emit the electron which is called β particle.

The mass of beta particle is smaller than the alpha particles.

They can travel in air in few meter distance.

These radiations can penetrate into the human skin.

The sheet of aluminium is used to block the beta radiation

⁴₆C → ¹⁴₇N + ⁰₋₁e

The beta radiations are emitted in this reaction. The one electron is ejected and neutron is converted into proton.
