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

Mnenie [13.5K]

The mass of sodium chloride used <u>was 1.17 grams</u><u>.</u>

The mole fraction can be calculated by way of dividing the number of moles of 1 factor of an answer via the full variety of moles of all the additives of an answer. it is mentioned that the sum of the mole fraction of all the components inside the solution has to be the same as one.

mass  of NaCl given =  64.9 g

mole  = mass/molar mass

          = 64.9 / 58.5

          =<u> 1.109</u>

a mole fraction of water =  0.980

mole fraction of NaCl = 1 - 0.980

                                   = <u>0.02</u>

1 mole of NaCl =  58.5

mass of NaCl  = 58.5 × 0.02

                       =<u> 1.17 gram</u>

Mole Fraction describes the range of molecules contained within one aspect divided through the whole range of molecules in a given combination. it's miles quite beneficial whilst two reactive-natured components are mixed collectively.
