Chlorine has two naturally occurring isotopes, 35C1 Gsotopic mass 34.9689 amu) and 370 (isotopic mass 36.9659 amu). If chlorine

has an atomic mass of 35.4527 arnu, what is the percent abundance of each isotope?

<u>Answer:</u> The percentage abundance of _{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl} and _{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl} isotopes are 75.77% and 24.23% 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:

\text{Average atomic mass }=\sum_{i=1}^n\text{(Atomic mass of an isotopes)}_i\times \text{(Fractional abundance})_i   .....(1)

Let the fractional abundance of _{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl} isotope be 'x'. So, fractional abundance of _{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl} isotope will be '1 - x'

  • <u>For _{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl} isotope:</u>

Mass of _{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl} isotope = 34.9689 amu

Fractional abundance of _{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl} isotope = x

  • <u>For _{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl} isotope:</u>

Mass of _{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl} isotope = 36.9659 amu

Fractional abundance of _{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl} isotope = 1 - x

  • Average atomic mass of chlorine = 35.4527 amu

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

35.4527=[(34.9689\times x)+(36.9659\times (1-x))]\\\\x=0.7577

Percentage abundance of _{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl} isotope = 0.7577\times 100=75.77\%

Percentage abundance of _{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl} isotope = (1-0.7577)=0.2423\times 100=24.23\%

Hence, the percentage abundance of _{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl} and _{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl} isotopes are 75.77% and 24.23% respectively.

In general, what makes one kind of amino acid different from other amino acids?
Vinvika [58]
There is part of an amino acid molecule that is called the R group or side chain.  The side chain of the amino acid called glycine is a single hydrogen atom. The side chain is what differs from amino acid to amino acid.

A cooling curve has two flat lines, or plateaus. What does the plateau at the higher temperature represent?
blagie [28]

Answer:

It is in the state of "thermal arrest"

Explanation:

The temperature stays constant during the phase change process . This is because the matter has more internal energy and heat has to be taken away for the solidification process to begin. The energy that is required for a phase change is know as latent heat (which is the energy released or absorbed by a body during a thermodynamic process).
