Only two stable isotopes of chlorine exist. 35Cl has a mass of 34.96885 amu and 37Cl has a mass of 36.9659 amu. Given that the a

tomic mass of chlorine is 35.453, calculate the isotopic abundance of 37Cl. (Enter your answer as a decimal number between zero and one.)

Answer: The isotopic abundance of Cl- 37 is 0.2424.

Explanation:

Mass of isotope - 35 = 34.96885 amu

% abundance of isotope -35= x% = \frac{x}{100}

Mass of isotope - 37 = 36.9659 amu.

% abundance of isotope-37 = (100-x)% = \frac{100-x}{100}

Formula used for average atomic mass of an element :

\text{ Average atomic mass of an element}=\sum(\text{atomic mass of an isotopes}\times {{\text { fractional abundance}})

35.453=\sum[(34.96885 \times \frac{x}{100})+(36.9659 \times \frac{100-x}{100}]]

x=75.76\%

(100-75.76)=24.24\%=0.2424

Therefore,  the isotopic abundance of Cl- 37 is 0.2424.

5. What are the relative rates of diffusion for methane, CH, and oxygen, O2? If O2 la travels 1.00 m in a certain amount of time
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

The relative rates of diffusion for methane and oxygen is 1.4142.

Methane gas will be able to travel 1.4142 meter in the same conditions.

Explanation:

To calculate the rate of diffusion of gas, we use Graham's Law.

This law states that the rate of effusion or diffusion of gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of the gas. Mathematically written as:

\text{Rate of diffusion}\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{\text{Molar mass of the gas}}}

We are given:

Molar mass of methane gas, m = 16 g/mol

Molar mass of oxygen gas,m' = 32 g/mol

By taking their ratio, we get:

\frac{d_{CH_4}}{d_{O_2}}=\sqrt{\frac{m'}{m}}

\frac{d_{CH_4}}{d_{O_2}}=\sqrt{\frac{32}{16}}=1.4142

The relative rates of diffusion for methane and oxygen is 1.4142.

If oxygen gas travels 1 meters in time t.

Rate of diffusion of oxygen =d_{O_2}=\frac{1 m}{t}

If methane gas travels travels in y meters in time t.

Rate of diffusion of methane=d_{CH_4}=\frac{y }{t}

\frac{d_{CH_4}}{d_{O_2}}=\frac{\frac{y }{t}}{\frac{1 m}{t}}=1.4142

y = 1.4142 m

Methane gas will be able to travel 1.4142 meter in the same conditions.
