The correct answer is B) Basic. Hope this helps.
<u>Answer:</u> The percentage abundance of
and
isotopes are 77.5% and 22.5% 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:
.....(1)
Let the fractional abundance of
isotope be 'x'. So, fractional abundance of
isotope will be '1 - x'
- <u>For
isotope:</u>
Mass of
isotope = 35 amu
Fractional abundance of
isotope = x
- <u>For
isotope:</u>
Mass of
isotope = 37 amu
Fractional abundance of
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](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=35.45%3D%5B%2835%5Ctimes%20x%29%2B%2837%5Ctimes%20%281-x%29%29%5D%5C%5C%5C%5Cx%3D0.775)
Percentage abundance of
isotope = 
Percentage abundance of
isotope = 
Hence, the percentage abundance of
and
isotopes are 77.5% and 22.5% respectively.
When finding the moles in a compound you have to know the grams. In this case, 25.2 grams are given for KMnO4. To find the moles you would divide the amount of grams by the molar mass of KMnO4. The molar mass of KmnO4 is 158.034. You you would now divide 25.2 by 158.034 which is 0.15946 moles. Depending on how many decimal places the questions asks for is dependent on you. I just went with 5 significant figures.
