Answer:
46.761g/mol
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Element = Hilarium , Hi
Isotopes: Hi- 45, Hi-46 and Hi- 48
Natural abundance of Hi-45 = 18.3%
Hi-46 = 34.5%
Hi-48 = 47.2%
Unknown:
Atomic weight of naturally occurring Hilarium = ?
Solution:
Isotopes have been studied extensively by mass spectrometry. The method is used to determine the proportion/percentage/fraction by which each of the isotopes of an element occurs in nature. The proportion is called geonormal abundance. From this we can calculate the atomic weight of an element.
We can use the expression below to find this value:
Atomic weight = m₄₅α₄₅ + m₄₆α₄₆ + m₄₈α₄₈
m is the atomic mass of each isotope and α is the abundance
Atomic weight = (45 x ) + (46 x
) + (48 x
)
Atomic weight of Hi = 8.235 + 15.870 + 22.656 = 46.761g/mol
