Magnesium (average atomic mass = 24.3050 amu) consists of three isotopes with masses 23.9850 amu, 24.9858 amu, and 25.9826 amu.

The abundance of the middle isotope is 10.00%. Estimate the abundances of the other isotopes.

Answer: The first isotope has a relative abundance of 79% and last isotope has a relative abundance of 11%

Explanation: Given that the average atomic mass(M) of magnesium

= 24.3050amu

Mass of first isotope (M1) = 23.9850amu

Mass of middle isotope (M2)=24.9858amu

Mass of last isotope(M3)= 25.9826amu

Total abundance = 1

Abundance of middle isotope = 0.10

Let abundance of first and last isotope be x and y respectively.

x+0.10+y =1

x = 0.90-y

M = M1 × % abundance of first isotope + M2 × % of middle isotope +M3 ×% of last isotope

24.03050= 23.985× x + 24.9858 ×0.10 + 25.9826×y

Substitute x= 0.90-y

Then

y = 0.11

Since y=0.11, then

x= 0.90-0.11

x=0.79

Therefore the relative abundance of the first isotope = 11% and the relative abundance of the last isotope = 79%

What is the difference between heterozygous and homozygous?
Yuri [45]

we can differentiate a heterozygous individual from a homozygote by analyzing their alleles. If the alleles in the homologous chromosomes are the same, we say that it is a homozygote. If the alleles are different, the individual is heterozygous.

when 32.4 g of water vapor condenses, how much heat is given off? The heat of vaporization for water is 40.67 kj/mol
egoroff_w [7]
When a water vapor condenses, heat is being released from the process. This heat is called latent heat of vaporization since the phase change happens without any change in the temperature. This value is constant per mole of a substance as a function of pressure and temperature. For this problem, we are given the heat of vaporization at a certain T and P. We use this value to calculate the total heat released from the process. We calculate as follows:

Total heat released: 32.4 g ( 1 mol / 18.02 g ) (40.67 kJ / mol) = 73.12 kJ

Therefore, 73.12 kJ of heat is released from the condensation of 32.4 g of water vapor.
