Answer:
Rubidium-85=61.2
Rubidium-87=24.36
Atomic Mass=85.56 amu
Explanation:
To find the atomic mass, we must multiply the masses of the isotope by the percent abundance, then add.
<u>Rubidium-85 </u>
This isotope has an abundance of 72%.
Convert 72% to a decimal. Divide by 100 or move the decimal two places to the left.
- 72/100= 0.72 or 72.0 --> 7.2 ---> 0.72
Multiply the mass of the isotope, which is 85, by the abundance as a decimal.
- mass * decimal abundance= 85* 0.72= 61.2
Rubidium-85=61.2
<u>Rubidium-87</u>
This isotope has an abundance of 28%.
Convert 28% to a decimal. Divide by 100 or move the decimal two places to the left.
- 28/100= 0.28 or 28.0 --> 2.8 ---> 0.28
Multiply the mass of the isotope, which is 87, by the abundance as a decimal.
- mass * decimal abundance= 87* 0.28= 24.36
Rubidium-87=24.36
<u>Atomic Mass of Rubidium:</u>
Add the two numbers together.
- Rb-85 (61.2) and Rb-87 (24.36)
Adding (S2O3)2- would affect the reaction mechanism that involves this ion. From the reaction mechanism given above, the equilibrium of step 2 would be affected. Adding the stock solution of (S2O3)2- would shift the equilibrium to the right thus making more products of the said mechanism. Also, the reaction rate of this step would occur faster than the original rate. This is based on Le Chatelier's Prinicple which states that a corresponding change would happen to the equilibrium of a reaction when pressure, concentration of the substances or temperature is changed. So, that after the addition, a color change would appear immediately because I3- would be removed slowly from solution, and would therefore be able to react with starch.
