I also have this question but see the 69 page of ur question book
Answer : The average atomic mass of chlorine is, 32.37 amu
Explanation :
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:
As we are given that,
Mass of isotope 1 = 34.97 amu
Percentage abundance of isotope 1 = 75.77 %
Fractional abundance of isotope 1 = 0.7577
Mass of isotope 2 = 36.97 amu
Percentage abundance of isotope 2 = 24.23 %
Fractional abundance of isotope 2 = 0.2423
Now put all the given values in above formula, we get:
![\text{Average atomic mass of element}=\sum[(34.97\times 0.7577)+(24.23\times 0.2423)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctext%7BAverage%20atomic%20mass%20of%20element%7D%3D%5Csum%5B%2834.97%5Ctimes%200.7577%29%2B%2824.23%5Ctimes%200.2423%29%5D)
Therefore, the average atomic mass of chlorine is, 32.37 amu
When a substance absorbs thermal energy, it partitions some as potential and some as kinetic energy. Specific heat is an expression related to the quantity of heat a substance stores as potential energy; the remainder is absorbed as kinetic which causes the temperature to increase - recall that temperature is a measure of average kinetic energy.
When specific heat is low, most of the energy is partitioned as kinetic energy and the substance will experience the greatest temperature change.
So rather than calculating the change in temperature, we can simply inspect the specific heats. The one with the lowest will experience the greatest temperature change. We could also compare the specific heats: Al = .897/.385 ==> 2.3, Fe = .452/.385 = 1.2, Cu = .385/.385 = 1. We can expect Copper's temperature change to be 2.3 times larger than Aluminum's and 1.2 times larger than Iron's.
