Answer:

221.37 u

Explanation:

The formula for the calculation of the average atomic mass is:

Average\ atomic\ mass=(\frac {\%\ of\ the\ first\ isotope}{100}\times {Mass\ of\ the\ first\ isotope})+(\frac {\%\ of\ the\ second\ isotope}{100}\times {Mass\ of\ the\ second\ isotope})

Given that:

For first isotope:

% = 65.51 %

Mass = 223.95 u

For second isotope:

Since the element has only 2 isotopes, so the percentage of second is 100 - first percentage.

% = 100 %  - 65.51 %  = 34.49 %

Let, Mass = x u

Given, Average Mass = 223.06 u

Thus,  

223.06=\frac {65.51}{100}\times {223.95}+\frac {34.49}{100}\times {x}

Solving for x, we get that:

x = 221.37 u

<u>Thus mass of second isotope = 221.37 u</u>

If you have 8.943 L of carbon monoxide gas at SATP, how many moles would it contain?
viktelen [127]
1mole contains 22.4Lmol^-1
xmole contains 8.943
cross-multiply
x=1×8.943/22.4
x=0.40mole
there it contains 0.40moles.

Calculate the number of ATOMS in 1.0 mole of O2.
Wewaii [24]
There is 6.02*10^23 molecule per mole. And there is 2 atoms per oxygen molecule. So the answer is 1.204*10^24 atoms in 1.0 mole of O2.
