Answer:
One million of silver atoms weigh 1.79 xx 10^(-16)g. Calculate the atomic mass of silver. Atomic mass of silver =107.8g=107.8u
For a neutral atom, the number of positive protons is equal to the number of negative electrons and the charge is zero.
For this question, we see that the number of protons exceeds the number of electrons by 2, which means that this ion in a positively charged charged ion with charge of +2.

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.
