Given the data in the table, what is the average atomic mass of chlorine?
2 answers:
Answer is: the average atomic mass of chlorine is 35.4548.
m(³⁵Cl) = 34.97 amu; the average atomic weight of chlorine-35.
m(³⁷Cl) = 36.97 amu; the average atomic weight of chlorine-37.
ω(³⁵Cl) = 75.76% ÷ 100% = 0.7576; fractional abudance of chlorine-35.
ω(³⁷Cl) = 24.24% ÷ 100% = 0.2424; fractional abudance of chlorine-37.
m(Cl) = m(³⁵Cl) · ω(³⁵Cl) + m(³⁷Cl) · ω(³⁷Cl).
m(Cl) = 34.97 amu · 0.7576 + 36.97 amu · 0.2424.
m(Cl) = 35.4548 amu; average atomic mass of chlorine.
The unified atomic mass unit (amu) is a standard unit of atom mass.
One unified atomic mass unit is approximately the mass of one nucleon (1.66·10⁻²⁷ kg).

Hydrophobic in simple terms is the "fear" of water.
In chemistry, Ionic salts are technically hydrophilic as they will dissolve in water.
most fats and oils or triesters won't why?
salts are made from ions and their structure contain polar bonds Na+ and Cl-
Fats and oils tend to not have these.
Fats and oils contain many carbon covalent bonds which are non-polar which tend to make the molecule non-polar as a whole, therefore, it can't dissolve in water and is said to be hydrophobic.
Hope that heps :)
