Answer:

Atomic mass of E is 128.24

Explanation:

  • The percentage composition by mass of an element in a compound is given by dividing the mass of the element by the total mass of the compound and expressing it as a percentage.
  • In this case; the compound Bi₂E₃

Percentage composition of bismuth = 52.07%

Percentage composition of E = 47.93%

Mass Bismuth in the compound is (2×208.9804) = 417.96 g

Therefore,

To calculate the atomic mass of E

52.07% = 417.96 g

47.93% = ?

            = (47.93 × 417.96 ) ÷ 52.07 %

            = 384.729

         E₃ = 384.729

Therefore; E = 384.729 ÷ 3

                     = 128.24  

The atomic mass of E is 128.24
