What is a diffusion, suspension, and colloid?

1 answer:

4 0

Answer: Colloidal suspensions are dispersions of small particles, ranging in size from 1 nanometer to 1 micrometer, in a solvent. ... This action prevents the colloid particles from settling out of the solvent. More importantly, Brownian motion contributes to the diffusion of colloid particles through the solution.

The two isotopes of chlorine are LaTeX: \begin{matrix}35\\17\end{matrix}Cl35 17 C l and LaTeX: \begin{matrix}37\\17\end{matrix}C

Kay [80]

Answer: The percentage abundance of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ and $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotopes are 77.5% and 22.5% respectively.

Explanation:

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:

$\text{Average atomic mass }=\sum_{i=1}^n\text{(Atomic mass of an isotopes)}_i\times \text{(Fractional abundance})_i$ .....(1)

Let the fractional abundance of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope be 'x'. So, fractional abundance of $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope will be '1 - x'

For $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope:

Mass of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = 35 amu

Fractional abundance of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = x

For $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope:

Mass of $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = 37 amu

Fractional abundance of $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = 1 - x

Average atomic mass of chlorine = 35.45 amu

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$35.45=[(35\times x)+(37\times (1-x))]\\\\x=0.775$

Percentage abundance of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = $0.775\times 100=77.5\%$

Percentage abundance of $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotope = $(1-0.775)=0.225\times 100=22.5\%$

Hence, the percentage abundance of $_{17}^{35}\textrm{Cl}$ and $_{17}^{37}\textrm{Cl}$ isotopes are 77.5% and 22.5% respectively.
