If you have to write the chemical formula of a simple, binary ionic compound given the name of the compound, you follow a set of three steps. Let's go through them using magnesium chloride as an example. Write the symbols for the cation and the anion: Mg and Cl. Determine the charge on the cation and anion.
Answer:
35Cl = 75.9 %
37Cl = 24.1 %
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
The relative atomic mass of Chlorine = 35.45 amu
Mass of the isotopes:
35Cl = 34.96885269 amu
37Cl = 36.96590258 amu
Step 2: Calculate percentage abundance
35.45 = x*34.96885269 + y*36.96590258
x+y = 1 x = 1-y
35.45 = (1-y)*34.96885269 + y*36.96590258
35.45 = 34.96885269 - 34.96885269y +36.96590258y
0.48114731 = 1,99704989y
y = 0.241 = 24.1 %
35Cl = 34.96885269 amu = 75.9 %
37Cl = 36.96590258 amu = 24.1 %
Answer:
Scientists believe the batteries (if that is their correct function) were used to electroplate items such as putting a layer of one metal (gold) onto the surface of another (silver), a method still practiced in Iraq today.
Explanation:
Answer:
By weight they have the same mass, but the number of atoms is different
