What is the molar mass of AlCl3?

1 answer:

Answer:

133.33 g/mole

Explanation:

To get the molar mass, you will need to first determine the atoms in the compound.

AlCl₃

We have aluminum (Al) and Chlorine (Cl)

Next step is to determine how many atoms of each element you have in the compound. The subscript will tell you how many. If you see no subscript, that means 1 atom.

Al = 1 atom

Cl = 3 atoms

Then you multiply the number of atoms by the atomic weight to get the molar mass of each element and add them up to get the total molar mass of the compound:

Element # of atoms atomic weight molar mass

Al 1 x 26.98 g/mole = 26.98 g/mole

Cl 3 x 35.45 g/mole = <u>106.35 g/mole</u>

TOTAL = 133.33 g/mole

<u>Answer:</u> The percentage abundance of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ and $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotopes are 77.5% and 22.5% respectively.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Average atomic mass of an element is defined as the sum of masses of each isotope each multiplied by their natural fractional abundance.

Formula used to calculate average atomic mass follows:

$\text{Average atomic mass }=\sum_{i=1}^n\text{(Atomic mass of an isotopes)}_i\times \text{(Fractional abundance})_i$ .....(1)

Let the fractional abundance of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope be 'x'. So, fractional abundance of $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope will be '1 - x'

<u>For $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope:</u>

Mass of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = 35 amu

Fractional abundance of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = x

<u>For $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope:</u>

Mass of $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = 37 amu

Fractional abundance of $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = 1 - x

Average atomic mass of chlorine = 35.45 amu

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$35.45=[(35\times x)+(37\times (1-x))]\\\\x=0.775$

Percentage abundance of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = $0.775\times 100=77.5\%$

Percentage abundance of $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = $(1-0.775)=0.225\times 100=22.5\%$

Hence, the percentage abundance of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ and $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotopes are 77.5% and 22.5% respectively.
