<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.

ICl has a higher boiling point than Br2. What is the best explanation for this?
Flura [38]
<span>The best answer is B. ICl experiences induced dipole-induced dipole interactions. Both iodine and chlorine belongs to the same group of the periodic table. Electronegativity decreases as you go down a group therefore Cl will have a greater attraction with the bond it forms with another atom. Dipole-dipole interactions form between I and Cl. For the Br2 molecule, no dipole occurs because they are two identical atoms. Therefore we will be expecting ICl will have a higher boiling point due to higher binding energy it forms.</span>

Nat2105 [25]
<h2>Collision Theory </h2>

Explanation:

<h3>The given statement is related to the collision theory - </h3>

Collision theory was given by William Lewis in 1916.

This theory explains in a qualitative manner that in what way any chemical reaction occurs and the reason for the different reaction rates for different reactions.

<h3>According to the collision theory - </h3>
  • Molecules must collide in order to react
  • Sufficient amount of energy is needed for collisions (kinetic energy) so that the chemical bonds should break
  • This energy used is known as the activation energy
  • On the increase in the temperature, the kinetic energy of the molecule increases and the molecules move faster and collide with a proper orientation at an increased speed
  • This increases the rate of a collision that in turn increases the breaking of the bond
