<u>Answer:</u> The percentage abundance of
and
isotopes are 77.5% and 22.5% respectively.
<u>Explanation:</u>
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:
.....(1)
Let the fractional abundance of
isotope be 'x'. So, fractional abundance of
isotope will be '1 - x'
- <u>For
isotope:</u>
Mass of
isotope = 35 amu
Fractional abundance of
isotope = x
- <u>For
isotope:</u>
Mass of
isotope = 37 amu
Fractional abundance of
isotope = 1 - x
Average atomic mass of chlorine = 35.45 amu
Putting values in equation 1, we get:
![35.45=[(35\times x)+(37\times (1-x))]\\\\x=0.775](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=35.45%3D%5B%2835%5Ctimes%20x%29%2B%2837%5Ctimes%20%281-x%29%29%5D%5C%5C%5C%5Cx%3D0.775)
Percentage abundance of
isotope = 
Percentage abundance of
isotope = 
Hence, the percentage abundance of
and
isotopes are 77.5% and 22.5% respectively.
Talc is not a good choice when building a statue because the mineral Talc is one of the weakest minerals on the Mohs Scale with a hardness of 1 since it could be scratched by a fingernail, which means that when people build a statue with Talc, it could be easily broken down.
Using the periodic table, find the molar mass of each compound in CaCO3
CA = 40
C = 12
O = 16
Molecular Mass = 40 + 12 + (16 x3) = 100 grams.
Number of moles = given mass / molecular mass
Number of moles = 240 g / 100g = 2.4 moles
