Antimony has two naturally occuring isotopes, 121 Sb and 123 Sb . 121 Sb has an atomic mass of 120.9038 u , and 123 Sb has an at

omic mass of 122.9042 u . Antimony has an average atomic mass of 121.7601 u . What is the percent natural abundance of each isotope?

Answer:

Percentage abundance of 121 Sb is = 57.2 %

Percentage abundance of 123 Sb is = 42.8 %

Explanation:

The formula for the calculation of the average atomic mass is:

Average\ atomic\ mass=(\frac {\%\ of\ the\ first\ isotope}{100}\times {Mass\ of\ the\ first\ isotope})+(\frac {\%\ of\ the\ second\ isotope}{100}\times {Mass\ of\ the\ second\ isotope})

Given that:

Since the element has only 2 isotopes, so the let the percentage of first be x and the second is 100 -x.

For first isotope, 121 Sb :

% = x %

Mass = 120.9038 u

For second isotope, 123 Sb:

% = 100  - x  

Mass = 122.9042 u

Given, Average Mass = 121.7601 u

Thus,  

121.7601=\frac{x}{100}\times 120.9038+\frac{100-x}{100}\times 122.9042

120.9038x+122.9042\left(100-x\right)=12176.01

Solving for x, we get that:

x = 57.2 %

<u>Thus, percentage abundance of 121 Sb is = 57.2 % </u>

<u>percentage abundance of 123 Sb is = 100 - 57.2 %  = 42.8 %</u>

Which of the following would have the slowest rate of diffusion at a given temperature
MrMuchimi

Chlorine will have the slowest rate of diffusion because it has the highest   relative molecular mass of 71 followed by O₂ with 32, then Neon 20 then He with 2

The rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its relative molecular mass.

Neopentyl alcohol, (ch3)3cch2oh, cannot be dehydrated to an alkene without rearrangement. what is the chief product of dehydrati
emmainna [20.7K]

Dehydration is removal of water.

In alcohols dehydration is α-β elimination or 1,2 elimination, it means the hydroxyl group will be removed from α-carbon while the hydrogen will be removed from near by carbon.

In case of neopentyl alcohol there is no β hydrogen present on the β carbon [as shown in figure].

The only possible way for it to undergo dehydration is by rearrangement.

The process or mechanism can be understood as:


so the chief product is 2-methylbut-2-ene

Disadvantages of Mendeleev's periodic table​
mestny [16]

Answer:

Various limitations of Mendeleev's periodic table are:-

Position of hydrogen - he couldn't assign a correct position to hydrogen as it showed properties of both alkali and halogens .

Position of isotopes - he considered that the properties of elements are a function of their atomic masses. Hence isotopes of a same element couldn't be placed.

In the d-block , elements with lower atomic number were placed before higher atomic number.
