Question

Consider the following data for the element Z.

what is a) percent of abudance and average mass (in g/mol) of this element? 

  Isotope 1  Isotope 2 Isotope3 
Mass (amu) 22.56 30.4 39.00
% of Abundance 10.50 50.45 a.
# of protons 16    16
# of electrons      16
# of neutrons     23
Expert Solution
Step 1

Every atom in periodic table has some atomic mass and atomic number. When atomic number of two elements is same and atomic mass is different, they are called isotopes.

 

Step 2

The total sum of abundance of all isotopes of an element is 100 %. Weighted average of is calculated by using atomic mass of its isotopes and their relative abundance.

Here percentage abundance of two isotopes is given; calculate for third isotope as total percentage abundance is 100.

 

% of abundance of isotope 3= 100%-10.50%-50.45%=39.05%
