Answer:
35Cl ⇒ 34.968853 amu has an abundance of 30.05%
Explanation:
The molar mass of chlorine, (which is the average of all its naturally stable isotope masses), is 36.36575 amu.
There are 2 naturally stable isotopes, this means together they have an abundance of 100%
The isotopes are:
35Cl ⇒ 34.968853 amu has an abundance of X %
37Cl ⇒ 36.965903 amu has an abundance of Y %
X + Y = 100% OR X = 100% - Y
36.36575 = 34.968853X + 36.965903Y
36.36575 = 34.968853(1-Y) + 36.936.96590365903Y
36.36575 = 34.968853 -34.968853Y + 36.965903Y
1.396897 = 1.99705Y
Y = 0.699 = 69.95%
X = 100-69.9 = 30.05%
To control, we can plug in the following equation:
34.968853 * 0.3005 + 36.965903 * 0.6995 = 36.3658
This means
37Cl ⇒ 36.965903 amu has an abundance of 69.95 %
35Cl ⇒ 34.968853 amu has an abundance of 30.05%
