Lithium has only two naturally occurring isotopes. The mass of Li-6 is 6.015 amu and the mass of Li-7 is 7.016 amu. The average

atomic mass of lithium is 6.941. (a) Calculate the relative abundances of the two isotopes. (b) What fraction of a sample of lithium atoms actually has a mass of 6.941 amu

Answer:

The answer to your question is :

a) Abundance of Li-6 = 7.49

b) Abundance of Li-7 = 100-7.49 = 92.5

Explanation:

Data           Isotopes                       Mass               Abundance

                     Li-6                           6.015 amu                 y

                     Li-7                            7.016 amu            100 -y

      Lithium atomic mass = 6.941

6.941 = (6.015y) + (7.016)(100-y) /100

6.941 = (6.015y  + 701.6 - 7.016y) / 100

6.941 x 100 = 6.015y - 7.016y + 701.6

694.1 -701.6 = - 1.001y

-7.5 = -1.001 y

y = 7.49

Abundance of Li-6 = 7.49

Abundance of Li-7 = 100-7.49 = 92.5

Answer:

a) The relative abundance of Li-6 =0.0749 = 7.49%

The relative abundance of Li-7 =1 - 0.0749 = 0.9251 =92.51%

b) The fraction of sample of lithium atoms with exact mass of  6.941 amu is 0.

Explanation:

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 Li-6 isotope be 'x'. So, fractional abundance of  Li-7 isotope will be '1 - x'

For Li-6 isotope:

Mass of  Li-6 isotope = 6.015 amu

For Li-7 isotope:

Mass of  Li-7 isotope =  7.016 amu

Average atomic mass of lithium =  6.941 amu

6.914 amu=x\times 6.015 amu+(1-x)\times 7.016 amu

x= 0.0749

a) The relative abundance of Li-6 =0.0749 = 7.49%

The relative abundance of Li-7 =1 - 0.0749 = 0.9251 =92.51%

b) The fraction of sample of lithium atoms with exact mass of  6.941 amu is 0. This is because 7.49% of the sample has atomic mass of 6.015 amu and 92.51 % of sample has mass of 7.016 amu. Either the sample atom of lithium will have mass of 6.015 amu or 7.016 amu but it will not be having mass of exact 6.941

A compound is 75.46% Carbon, 4.43% hydrogen and 20.10% Oxygen by mass. it has a molecular weight of 318.31g/mol. what is the mol
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

No.of moles of C is , n = mass/molar mass = 75.46 g / 12 (g/mol) = 6.3 moles No.of moles of H is , n' = mass/molar mass = 4.43 g / 1.0(g/mol) = 4.43 moles No.of moles of O is , n'' = mass/molar mass = 20.10 g / 16(g/mol) =1.25 moles Ratio to the no.of moles of C,H& O is 6.3 : 4.43 : 1.25 In the simple integer ratio is ( 6.3/1.25) : ( 4.43/1.25) : (1.25/1.25) 5.04 :3.5 : 1
