Answer: The percentage abundance of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ and $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotopes are 77.5% and 22.5% respectively.

Explanation:

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'

For $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope:

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

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

For $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope:

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

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

Average atomic mass of chlorine = 35.45 amu

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$35.45=[(35\times x)+(37\times (1-x))]\\\\x=0.775$

Percentage abundance of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = $0.775\times 100=77.5\%$

Percentage abundance of $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = $(1-0.775)=0.225\times 100=22.5\%$

Hence, the percentage abundance of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ and $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotopes are 77.5% and 22.5% respectively.

If log x = -0.761. What does x equal

kvasek [131]

The logarithm from my understanding can never be negative. You can check this on a calculator. You may have a negative if it is shown as -(log x).

For a species with a diploid number of 26, indicate how many chromosomes will be present in the somatic nuclei of individuals th

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Haploid - 13

Triploid - 39

Tetraploid - 52

Trisomic - 27

Monosomic - 25

Explanation:

A haploid organism has half the chromosome number of a diploid version, hence 26/2 = 13

A triploid organism has 3 sets of a haploid chromosomes, hence 13 x 3 = 39

A tetraploid is double of a diploid, 26 x 2 = 52

Trisomic organisms have one extra chromosome in addition to the normal diploid. Hence 26 + 1 = 27

Monosomic organism has one less chromosome than the normal diploid. Hence 26 - 1 = 25
