Stels [109]

Answer:

35.8 u

Explanation:

The atomic mass of Cl is the weighted average of the atomic masses of its isotopes.

We multiply the atomic mass of each isotope by a number representing its relative importance (i.e., its percent abundance).

Atomic mass of Cl-35 = 17p + 18n = 17 × 1.007 u + 18 × 1.009 u

= 17.119 u + 18.162 u = 35.28 u

Atomic mass of Cl-37 = 17p + 20n = 17 × 1.007 u + 20 × 1.009 u

= 17.119 u + 20.180 u = 37.30 u

Set up a table for easy calculation.

0.755 × 35.28 u =  26.64  u

0.245 × 37.30 u =    9.138 u

             TOTAL = 35.8     u

Note: The actual atomic mass of Cl is 35.45 u.

The calculated value above is incorrect because

(a) the given isotopic percentages are incorrect and

(b) the protons and neutrons have less mass when they are in the nucleus than when they are free. Thus, the calculated masses of Cl-35 and Cl-37 are too high.

. A compound contains nitrogen and oxygen in the mole ratio of 1:1. Which of the
Advocard [28]

Answer:

30

Explanation:

Given that;

  the compound contains nitrogen and oxygen in the ratio 1:1;

       We can say the compound is NO

Now,

Molecular mass of NO;

 Molar mass of N = 14g/mol

 Molar mass of O = 16g/mol

 

Molecular mass of NO = 14 + 16  = 30g/mol

How can you find the number of neutrons that are in an atom of an element
Temka [501]

Answer:

You just have to take the periodic table of the elements, take the element that interests you. Then, you look at the formula of the element, at the top left you find the number of neutrons and protons and at the bottom left you find the number of protons. Then you just have to make the number from the top left minus the number from the bottom left.
