A_r = 35.5

The average atomic mass of Cl is the weighted average of the atomic masses of its isotopes.

We multiply the atomic mass of each isotope by a number representing its relative importance (i.e., its % abundance).

Thus,

0.7553 × 35 u = 26.4 u

0.2447 × 37 u = 9.05 u

TOTAL = 35.5 u

What expression approximates the volume of O2 consumed, measure at STP, when 55 g of Al reacts completely with excess O2?2 Al(s)

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

34.28 L ( 1.5*22.4 L)

Explanation:

Calculation of the moles of aluminum as:-

Mass = 55 g

Molar mass of aluminum = 26.981539 g/mol

The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:

$moles = \frac{Mass\ taken}{Molar\ mass}$
